You can buy a surge protector with a timer like Titan Controls Apollo 14 - 8 Outlet Power Strip with Timer to automatically turn on and off your power outlets on the surge protector at specific times of the day which you set it to, so if it takes about 5 hours to charge all your devices, you can set the timer to turn off after 5 hours. A power bar with a timer is also good for plugging in your Cable or DSL modem, Hub, Switch, Router, Speakers, printer, stereo, and other electronics which you want to turn off when you go to work, sleep, school, and other times when you won't be using them to save electricity. Scheduling your electronics to not have power at specific times will save you power, and you also restart your electronics like routers, modems, and hubs which can make Wi-Fi wireless internet disconnection problems less common because Wi-Fi problems can be fixed with a simple restart.
You can also just use a standard surge protected power bar like Monster Cable MP AV600 Power Protector if you just want to turn off your electronics power manually by switching off the power on the power bar by manually hitting the power button on it instead of setting a timer to when you want your power on, and off.
If you just need to turn off one outlet's power there is the Belkin Conserve Power Switch which is a power adapter for your home power plug which adds an On/Off switch to it.
