Cable Stable DLX by Skooba Design

The focus of this review is the Cable Stable DLX, a highly functional gadget and cord organizer, released by Skooba Design.  The folks over at Skooba Design were kind enough to send a review sample my way for a few days, so I decided to see if the accessory lived up to it’s hype.  I had the perfect basket full of cords to test it with.  Could the Cable Stable DLX help organize this mess of cords?  Grab yourself a glass of iced tea and join me as we find out!

First Impressions

Wrapped in clear plastic, and flanked with a simple cardboard shell including product information, the packaging of the Cable Stable DLX keeps the item clean from stray fingerprints while providing a full view of the exterior casing.  Upon removing the plastic wrap and the shell, the organizer first reminds me of a Trapper Keeper for techies.  Yep, one of those organizers for elementary students popularized during the ’80′s… I was in middle school and junior high and seeing the Cable Stable DLX brought back instantly fond memories of the time.  The material is black and durable in appearance.  The spine is formed as though an encyclopedia was enclosed.

Unzipping the Cable Stable opens like a book, exposing elastic straps along the left half and zippered mesh pockets on the right.  Small elastic straps also run down the interior of the organizer’s spine.  With all of this storage, surely I had found something up to the task of taming my mess of charger cords.  Keep reading to find out.

The Cable Stable DLX Tames This Mess of Charger Cords

The basket hosts an array of different charging cords and cables, usually tossed in quickly after charging one of my various gadgets.  For quite some time, I’ve planned to organize them, even going so far as to occasionally implement a method that soon failed.  Now we have the Cable Stable DLX, stepping up to the plate.  Would it be capable?

I started unpacking the basket, winding cords tightly and finding the appropriate size elastic holder.  In went one cord and then another.  Slowly the basket was emptying and the Cable Stable was earning it’s reputation as an organizational tool.

Conclusion

Skooba Design has done a great job with the design of the Cable Stable DLX.  The exterior is simple yet durable in structure.  The interior provides several different sizes of elastic latches and the zippered mesh pockets accomodate larger, less cable-like items.  As you have read, the Cable Stable DLX helped rid my office of a tangle of charging cords.  In doing this, it has done something that I have not been capable of for years.
