I be hopeful about this product after try so many other option to keep my iPhone cord from tangle . when I see this I be not sure how I would take to have something attach to my cord when use they . I order this anyway cause I would try everything else . it be the best thing I have try so far but its not perfect . the cord do not stay inside the channel . they keep struggle to get out which be annoying but I do not think there be a way to avoid it cause the cord do need to be able to be pull out if you want to use the item as a phone stand . when I want to wrap the cord up it be relatively easy , when the cord stay in the channel . just pull the bud down and then wrap the cord around the middle and tuck in the plug ! now I gotta find a way to keep the iPhone earbud to stay in my ear !
