No more CableDrop

Here’s a rather nice way of keeping cables from dropping off your desk and being ready for the next time you need to connect a device.
CableDrop is a multi-purpose clip that is 
used primarily to secure various cables but can also be used to secure a number of other non-cable objects, such as pens.
Each CableDrop has a self-adhesive sticker on its base. Peel and stick to a suitable surface, then attach whatever cables need to be held in place. Mostly, I’d use this for the iPod, network and USB cables that always fall to the floor when one disconnects…
Six CableDrops per package in either muted or bright colours for USD 9.95 isn’t too bad. BlueLounge ships to South Africa.

Dude. Geez! Just minutes ago I had to crawl under my desk and did some really funky contortionist tricks to get my Macbook cable on my desk. This is the answer to my problems, like you’ve got no idea! Thank you!
It’s like an echo in our office: “That’s exactly what I need.”
Now to figure where I can get one.
I use my telephone cord to keep my power and network cable on my desk when I leave. This is simply brilliant – I WANT!!!
Wow, I need a couple of those. I’m currently jamming cables between the wall and my desk.
lol – cool.

Me too! Especially for the iPod earphones! And $3.96 shipping is not bad at all. Ordering now.
Ha ha, this seems to one of your posts with the most comments in a while.
But I guess this is one of those things where when you think about you ask yourself why wasn’t this invented ages ago.

And there I was thinking that this would be a ridiculous thing to post information about…go figure
Good news is that these should soon be available locally. I ordered from the US and trust that my shipment will make it through the SA Post Office experience unscathed…

Did your shipment arrive from the US? How are you finding these products? Also, please let me know if you spot them locally.
The shipment arrived in good time quite a while ago. I’m quite impressed – everything works as advertised
I’m not aware of any local availability, though there was some talk that these would be imported…
