Technological developments have given many Westerners a remarkably wireless society, yet many devices still require cables. The Wrap is an accessory of your iPhone -- one of those gadgets that still needs to be plugged in to sync and power up. It can be clipped onto the end opposite the pair of European prongs and, in imitating their shape, it turns the adapter into a cleat for the effective winding of the loose cord.
The 3D-printed polyamide add-on fits neatly onto newer models of the smartphone accessory. With the USB end set securely in place, the cable and cap are anchored and ready to be bound together. The spikes of Michiel Cornelissen's The Wrap keep the coiled cord from slipping off the sides of the charger and assist in maintaining a tidier bag.
