Smartwrap: every iPod user should own one of these
Garage Reviews
As long as I've owned my iPod, I've carried out the following steps when I was done
listening to it:
1) Wrap earbud cable around two fingers.
2) Place the earbuds my pocket.
3) Pull them out later and begin untangling.
Come on and admit it, you most of you have probably been doing the same thing for as long
as you've owned earbuds. So when I first saw the Smartwrap from Sumajin, I think I was
more angry than anything -- angry at myself for the fact that this beautifully simple
product has been on the market since 2002, but I've only now come into contact with it. I
can't believe I allowed myself to endure as much earbud frustration, for as long as I did,
before the Smartwrap came into my life. So what exactly is it?
On first glance, it appears to be just a little "thingy" that you wrap your
earbud cables around. But when you think about how many things could go wrong with the
design of such a product, the Smartwrap suddenly appears to be a work of genius. If the
product were made of a solid substance, it could either jab you, or get broken in half,
while in your pocket. But the Smartwrap is made of flexible rubber. If it were an
evenly-shaped object, then you'd risk having the cables slide off one end or the other.
But the Smartwrap lives up to the "smart" in its name by having the ends bulge
slightly in size, giving the product a bit of a dumbbell shape, and keeping your cables in
the middle. And lastly, rather than leaving you to figure out what to do with the
endpieces when you're done wrapping, there are grooves on both ends of the Smartwrap that
allow you to clip your earbuds into one end and your stereo jack into the other.
I've been testing out the Smartwrap for close to a month now, and it shows no visible
signs of wear and tear. By now I've become so accustomed to using it that I've taken it
for granted; I can't for the life of me figure out how I managed to tolerate all the time
I used to waste untangling my earbuds. Thankfully, I can now say without question that
those days are over. I just wish I'd come across the Smartwrap back when I first acquired
my iPod; this product rocks.
While many iPod accessories are only designed to fill a niche or to appeal to a certain
segment of iPod users, the Smartwrap is one product that I feel comfortable in saying that
every iPod user should own. Unless you never use earbuds with your iPod, there's no reason
not to have one of these. As I learned far too late, tangled iPod earbuds are not a
necessary evil. The Smartwrap costs five dollars and (as you can probably guess) works
with any earbuds, not just those of the iPod. Comes in cool colors too: white,
translucent, black, orange, blue, green, purple and red. Considering that you've already
spent several hundred dollars on your iPod, you might as well spend five more and feel the
joy of never dealing with tangled earbud cables again.
You can order the Smartwrap directly from the Sumajin website. Or, you can spend the rest
of your iPod's life wrapping cables around your fingers and then later untangling them. I
suppose the choice is yours.
