Twelve South Announces 'SurfaceSnap' Cable Management Solution

[MacRumors]

Popular accessory maker Twelve South has today announced the "SurfaceSnap" cable management solution.

SurfaceSnap features a genuine leather band, polished metal button snaps, and a strong semi-permanent adhesive to attach it to a surface. Twelve South assures that SurfaceSnap's adhesive can stick to almost any smooth surface and leaves no residue when removed, allowing it to be repositioned elsewhere.

SurfaceSnap is primarily designed to offer a slim, aesthetically-pleasing alternative to bulky cable managers that use weight to hold cables in place. The button snaps make it easy to add or remove cables, and Twelve South even suggests that the SurfaceSnap is ideal for travel.

Each pack includes two single-button cable managers and one double-winged cable manager. The Twelve South SurfaceSnap is now available online for $29.99 in Black or Dove Gray.

Too much thought has gone into that. I will just pick it up off the floor if it falls and save the $30.

Or a 2 cent piece of tape? Or get fancy with a strip of Velcro with adhesive on the back side? What's with all these grossly overpriced accessories for Apple products???

 

[rahulr]

THIRTY DOLLARS? For something that sits behind your desk/nightstand/counter, etc? Just buy some cheapo cable clips from Bezos' outfit and put them on. I usually love twelve south stuff. But this is outrageous.

That is very expensive, in my opinion. Hard pass for me.

 

[bluespark]

When that lightning cable falls through the strap in the pic, it's going to be sooooo annoying.

 

[markcres]

Some people with more money than sense will buy this!

Twelve south has a strange offering of products these days. I think they have kind of gone down hill in terms of their brand. The only items I find that are for me are the staygo and the book book cases. Some of the other products are oddly designed or not really smartly designed that would be a draw for consumers. This one seems to fit both of those categories.

I was just going to recommend this. $15 and it also comes in white.

A pack of zip ties cost me $5. Looks like (based upon the number of cables I am using) this wouldn't even cover them.

 

[Born2Run]

Just use a couple of strips of velcro

Yeah and 50 pieces instead of 3 LOL

 

[FHoff]

Love it. Ordered.

But I want “Dove Gray”.

Or you can just 3D print something like this with a few cents of plastic:

I was inspired by the Customizable Cable Holder by xifle to create a captive version that did not require a wall to hold the cables in place and to show off the capabilities of a 3d printer. This rendition of the cable holder prints as a single piece with an inner barrel captive in the outer...

Oh man I can’t wait to get my ~$60 CAD glorified zipties

Not sure what you plebs are going on about (jk). This obvious is not in most people's budget, but Twelve South does do the lower-end, Amazon-listed stuff. These look nice and are unobtrusive. Plenty of people will love them.

Budget has nothing to do with it. Every single person here can afford a 25 dollar product. It’s just silly as hell

Oh man, Those would look great in the kitchen 🙄. It’s a premium product for people who want a decent appearance instead of strictly functionality. Of course you could still use it behind your ugly computer desk where it would be a waste of money.

Just steal the kid's Lego action figures. Life hack I learned years ago.👍

Everyone has their own preference.

If you don't want to spend $30 but are ok with half of that, these from Anker are awesome. The bottom has the wash and reuse double side. The cable clips fit all cables and the magnets are strong. I have recommended and bought them for tons of people as gifts.

For $30 they better send someone over to hold the cables. "Jeeves, please plug the power cable into my iPad".

And all this cheapskate snark on a website dedicated to the expensive products from a company founded by a guy who famously (and fanatically) insisted that the backside and even the inside of their products had to look just as good as the front ... Steve would be very dissapointed in y‘all.
