cool, attractive, functional...
You could of course go to a dept or store and get a pack plastic cable mmgt hooks/loops but they're pretty unsightly. Not to mention unless you are buying heavier grade ones, they typically break w/ medium to high amt of openings and closings.
The SurfaceSnaps work great great mounted on the top/side/bottom of the desktop due to the flatness. Plus you'll never snag a piece of clothing on a sharp edge. The snaps are durable and don't take much pressure allowing for easy opens/closes.
I would like to see 12 Sth improve the product slightly by maybe being able to use some sort of reusable "blu-tack" or "Command" adhesive.
Else the product is terrific. Will probably order another couple of packs for the comms closet.
