    Is this about ready? I'm desperate for them and have been waiting since summer!

    I have bought retractable cords, but if the connectors go bad, I had to buy a new one. I tried to take one apart, but broke it so... somebody more persistent and clever developed it! I love that it comes in more than one size!! Another item for my wish list! Darn "Tech this Out" for introducing me to the site! There goes the new budget, right out the window.

    It sees from Japan.
    Please let me question.

    ・Can this commodity be installed in the code that already exists?

    ・Please teach the method of installing the code.

    ・Can you wind up by the automatic operation?(Is the button pushed?)

    I'm sorry by poor English.
    Best regards,

    Similar to what Kevin said, I've wanted one (or five) of these things for a while now. Eveything should come with the option of a retractable cable (mice, game controllers, earphones) but until that happens, I'll make do with the Sling Back. I've committed to buying two.

    Yaser, the point is that you can use any cable (within reason) in the Sling Back; you are not limited - as you are with the retractable USB cables you linked to on eBay - to using the cable which comes with the retracting unit.

    not stack-able, but that is not the point, I like it because it travels well.

    Good idea but you can already purchase retractable cords for ipods, mini and micro usb devices. These products exist on a very popular web store at prices far less than the cost of this device.

    I ordered this about 4 months ago. I see that this is on sale now!
    Will I get reimbursed for the difference that I paid originally for, but still am waiting for product to arrive?

    Right idea, good execution, absurdly over priced. I have six cables on my desktop that could use this device. I might pay $30 for two that can each hold three cords, but I would not pay $90 for the solution. I note that you show pictures of both a single black unit and a triple black unit. This is confusing. Would we be getting a single or triple for $15?

    I've wanted this product for ipod and cellphone earphone cords ever since I saw it on a travel-sized mouse 4 or 5 years ago. However, I wouldn't pay $15 for it either.
    Should be less than $10, maybe 2 for $10.
