If you're household is like mine, it is likely littered with various chargers and cables for smartphones, tablets, notebooks and other gadgets. CableKeeps are multipurpose clutter-controlling accessories that bring some colour into the picture while keeping things neat and tidy.
The first thing that grabs you about Nice By Design's product is their packaging. A lot of work went into making their boxes attractive and informative. Even the quality of the stock used to create the box has a different and almost felt-like texture.
I also like how they used nearly all surfaces of their box to place information about the product, removing the need for loose manuals or instructions.
The CableKeeps themselves are very unique looking accessories. Made out of hard plastic and resembling goldfish, sharks and piranhas that have 'eaten' your iPhone and iPad chargers, they make it easy to wind and store the cables and the adapters while even adding the option of leaning your product on the wall when charging.
Aside from having very high design and functionality, CableKeeps definitely have personality and make perfect little gifts for anyone with an iPad, iPhone or iPod.
They're great for kids because they look so much like toys, yet their purpose is to keep things organized and neat. So, you can make a game of 'feeding the fish' while teaching your children to put away cables and adaptors when they are not needed.
The CableKeeps are also available in various colours so this helps making sure multi-iOS device households and offices do not mix up adapters, which happens often.
CableKeeps are a great idea and at $16.00 each, a no brainer. Check them out at Nice By Design,
