White and black cableyoyos have a glossier, iPod-esque look.Įach package includes a flat, relatively lightweight cable manager, and an adhesive pad to hold the unit in place on a flat surface. You place the Smartwrap someplace in the middle of the cord, wind the cord around Smartwrap's center, and then lock the cord's two ends in the rubber's grooves.
The one we tested was the silver model, which looks like metal despite the fact that all three versions are made from plastic. A bone shaped piece of flexible flat rubber with one diagonal groove on each of its ends, the Smartwrap does only one thing: it manages your headphone cord. Though it’s designed to look almost like an old floppy disk, the cableyoyo is in essence a flat spool, around which you wind cables the thickness of Apple’s USB and FireWire cables for the iPod.īlueLounge actually makes three versions of cableyoyo: one black, one white, and one silver. While not intended to be portable, the cableyoyo is one of the nicest-looking desk-mounting cord managers we’ve ever seen. Here, we look at BlueLounge’s cableyoyo (decapitalization theirs, $4.99), and separately look at Tunewear’s TuneClip in another review. But Sumajin’s SmartWrap (iLounge rating: B) was a notably good exception to this rule, and two somewhat similar accessories we’ve looked at are also worthy of brief mentions. In all honesty, we could take or leave most of the cord management accessories we’ve seen: the idea of accessories for accessories has never really appealed that much to us.
