Clean up Your Cable Squid with Unlaces

Posted on by

OK, so the tangle of wires behind my desk is getting pretty ridiculous. Luckily, I’ve got it confined in a corner, so it’s not going to take over my place any time soon, but something like Unlace might just banish the cable squid to Davy Jones’ Locker forever.

Unlaces are designed to manage your excess cable with ease. The colorful, rubbery, and twistable lace will allow you to neatly bundle  cords, cables, and any other loose ends. They are made out of reusable silicone material, and look like colorful shoelaces. Unlaces will be available in 5″ and 10″ varieties.

You’ll have to pledge $20(USD) on Kickstarter to get a set of four 5″ Unlaces. $33 buys you eight of the 5″, while $40 or more gets you as set of eight 10″ Unlaces. With $9,860 pledged of a $10,000-goal, and 25 days of funding left, the project will surely be fully funded.

Sinch Stows Your Earbud Wires Neatly

Posted on by

I go through a couple of pairs of earbuds every month because of the careless way I handle them, letting them get all tangled, and sometimes damaging the wiring inside. I’m not, in any way, proud of that, although I figured it was worth mentioning since I think I’ve found the solution to my earphone woes: the Sinch.

SinchIt’s basically a neat-looking magnetic strip that has a teeny hole where you’re supposed to insert your earphone’s plug. Keep sliding until Sinch is above the metal part of the plug, then plug your earphones onto your iPhone or iPod Touch and you’re all set.

To keep your earphones, just wrap them around your device and over the Sinch, then fold the latter over to keep them in place.

When you’re ready to use them again, just pull on the earbuds, and you’re good to go. I’m hopeful that with one of these in place, the chances of damaging my cords will go down dramatically. The Sinch is available online for $15.99(USD).
