Evriholder’s Cable Zipper is a more involved—and more complicated—system for bundling cords. Each Zipper, available in white or black, includes eight feet of plastic zipper cable and a device that resembles a hair clip. Gather the wires you want to bundle and slip them into the hollow section of the clip, then slide the zipper cable over the top. Use a pair of scissors to cut away any excess zipper cable. Each kit includes two adhesive pads and a dozen sets of labels to help you keep track of which wire goes with which device.

Sleek, elegant, and compact, Bluelounge Design’s plastic Cableyoyo is a stylish solution for the cable clutter epidemic. Just over three inches square and about a third of an inch thick, the Cableyoyo is designed specifically for accessory cables, such as phone cords, speaker wire, and USB cable. Each one holds up to eight feet of cable and can stick to a wall, computer monitor, or other surface. (iPod addicts should check out Cableyoyo Pop, a tiny spool that attaches to a cell phone or MP3 player with a suction cup.)
