A simple little device to save your sanity


CableDrop 

You know the frustration. 

You unplug your computer and the cable flies from your hand and behind the desk to join the convoluted coil of snakelike comrades. You have, of course, pushed your desk too close against the wall, so now it’s time for the fun task of crawling on your hands and knees among the dust bunnies to retrieve the thing. This is extra fun (and potentially illuminating, depending on what you’re wearing) at the office, when someone inevitably walks in as you’re scrambling around on the floor.

Breathe in. Breathe out. 

The CableDrop will help. Although the description on the website (“cable management system”) makes it sound a wee bit more complicated than it is, it is, in short, it is a little clip to hold your cable in place.

 The “stylish and easily removable” clips are $9.99, and come in “bright or muted” shades.

Drop the frustration, not the cable.

Update: The CableDrop is available in the States for $9.99 from BlueLounge.
