When I tuck my iPod mini into my purse, I wrap the earbud cord around the iPod and hope it doesn't come undone. Sure enough, I'll grab it the next morning and it's intertwined with my lipstick and wallet. There's really no sure-fire way for me to keep the cords from wrapping around other things, unless of course, I had BlueLounge's POP.
POP comes with one belt clip, two adhesive strips, and 10 pop art stickers. Simply attach the adhesive strips to the back of your iPod. Then use the suction cup on the back of the POP and place it on the back of your iPod. Then wind the earbud cords around the suction cup. The belt clip is used to secure the earbud cords in place. Then you can dress up the POP with the included stickers. When you're ready to listen to some tunes, your cord will be organized and ready to go.
The Black and White POP models each have different stickers, such as a cassette tape, shamrock, dog, and Hello My Name Is.
POP not only works on iPods and other MP3 players, but also on cell phones. The original Cableyoyo ($4.95) from Bluelounge has already won several design awards, so the company hopes that POP will take off as well.
Best of all, POP can be given as a corporate gift, since buyers have the option to print custom design stickers, such as their company logo or promotional messages.
Purchase the Cableyoyo POP for $9.95.

Oh WOW-I just watched the flash intro at the website, and I'm pretty much sold. :) I have the exact same problem, but about twice as bad; I have a pair of Sony earbuds that are connected to my wired remote (iPod Photo) and the cord is SUPER long, so as my iPod rests safely in my bag, the cable gets jammed into a mesh pocked on the side of my messenger bag. If I want to pull out my earbuds and listen, I spend about half as much time untangling them as I do listening to them. :( This looks like the PERFECT product for that, even if you don't wind up smacking it against the back of your iPod. :) They have a lot of other interesting cable management gizmos at their website too. The Cable Yoyo looks pretty neat as well!
