I have been using sugru, but this solution is simpler and recycles junk ballpoint parts. Bravissimo.

This is a pretty cool trick

[ornevo]

Thank you!

Awesome hack. Though it's not sync cables that die a horrible death, but headphones. Looking for a dead ballpoint pen now!

It help a lot if you never wrap it tightly. I just unplug them, make a loose bundle, and shove them in my pocket. I do have to take a few seconds to untangle them sometimes, but I've gotten really good at it as a result.

Good thought, but my problem can be summed up with one word. Doorknobs. I'll be listening to music or audiobook, and innocently walk by a doorknob and wham, the cable catches.

slip it between your shirt and your body

[hammertong]

That's the way I do it, & my relationship with doorknobs has never gone sour.

Thanks so much! It's rescue my all cables!

Sometimes there are instructibles that just make you say...duh!

Nice job!

[Orngrimm]

Cool. Just cool!
simple and efficient! Like the idea and will incorporate it in other cables which often break... (I dont have an iPhone)
