Earbud cord wrapper in 5 minutes or less!

Step 4 Usage

You can unwrap cord on either end to a length that suits your need.

I usually keep my iphone in my shirt pocket, as you can imagine without this cord wrapper my cord is always in the way.

NB: 

my dads an electrical engineer, and after one second(he always tries to find faults instead of the good stuff) he said coiling the wire like that kinda makes the earphones faulty after a long time,

Yup, however that will take a fair bit of time, and most people don't coil their cords properly in the first place...

The greater risk is insulation abrasion from the rough edges of the card.

A softer type of plastic would avoid this problem... ( think the top of a pringles can)

When i made mine I rounded all corners off and sanded them. I know you aren't supposed to store your Ibuds like this as the folding of the cable will eventually break the fine filaments of copper cable that is used for the wiring but i only use it for the apple ones that came free with my IPhone, i wouldn't use this for any expensive ear buds.

And after a week they ended up being a pain in to use...
