| | | Sling Back Universal Wire Retractor Helps You Go Wire-Less
Quote: |
The Sling Back is apparently "cake" to use: Simply open the magnetic case, snap in the wire—which includes any sort of cord that is up to 1/8'' in diameter—and tug on it to make your cable instantly retract

| | | it's kinda cool if you have that sort of color theme going on, but I'm more of a bread-ties kind of guy.

| | | I don't like the colors, but they're pretty cheap so it's not too bad. A bit too fruity for my taste

| | | I love the concept, but personally I think they need to be grey or black so they hide away more. I'm a big fan of cable management and wish there was more emphasis put on cleaning up wires and designing peripherals with this concept in mind. |

| | | coil up your loose wires in a big loop, zip tie the center and both ends. But not too close to the ends. You'd be surprised how little twisting and bending can break the strands inside the insulation.

I saw on some show, fake crown molding to hide wires behind.

| | | With any luck wireless power will be widespread soon enough and we will be able to ditch 2/3 of the wires under our desks |

| | | I think we'll see wireless chargers for mobile devices become common within 5 years or so. Full wireless power for anything, I don't think that will be around for quite some time. | | |
