Cocoon CPG7SL GRID-IT!® Accessory Organizer - Small 7.25" x 9.25" (Slate Gray)

I saw this a few years back in a store, and I regretted not purchasing. My teenager is not the most organized. Ok let’s face it, he’s a teenager. This is the easiest way to organize your cable jungle PERIOD! It’s sturdy, and it lasts. I recommend watching the product video if you still have doubts.

This organizer is perfect for keeping all your cables in one place within your travel or tech bag. Would recommend to anyone 10/10

I just purchased this about a month ago, and I already do not go anywhere without it! There are tons of uses for this (I may have to buy a ton more) and they come in all sizes, but I've found this one to be ideal for carrying around in a back pack or messenger bag. As for the person who says this adds too much bulk and weight, to each his own, but I just don't see how that could be. For one, the thing weighs practically nothing. Second, although it is not paper thin, it is by no stretch of the imagination thick. In reality, it probably has to be the thickness that it is. Once you start strapping things down, particularly bulkier items, there's going to be some strain on the backing. If the backing were too thin, it would likely start to bend with the strain of the elastic. I've currently got an iPad power adapter as the thickest item, which is pretty thick considering the size of the Grid-It. However, there is no evidence of strain at all.Before finding this online (and I have no idea how I found it, but I sure am glad I did), I was keeping multiple sized charging cables, a USB power adaptor, a USB battery back up, earbuds, and a few other items in my back pack everywhere I traveled. If I switched to my messenger back, half the time I forgot to grab the specific item that I needed. Almost all the time, I'd have to rummage through the back pack to find everything that had fallen to the bottom and gotten tangled in the various cords. Now, everything is kept very neatly in place, and if I switch bags, I just switch out the Grid-It and everything goes with me.There is no way to rearrange the grid of the elastic, but they've got it arranged so that you can fit pretty much anything into it. Just spend a little time getting creative with positioning and you'll be good to go. All of the elastic has rubber built into it (visible as light grey lines through the elastic in the pictures), which does a fantastic job of holding slippery metal or plastic items firmly in place. The elastic is relatively tight, so while it can stretch to hold bigger items, it can also securely hold smaller items in the bigger spaces (if you happen to have more small items that you need to secure).I know this sounds like a solution to a fairly minor problem, and I feel a little silly going on about it. However, it is a frequent problem, and it's annoying. So, while it is technically a solution to a minor problem, it's the perfect solution and yes, I'm in love with an organizer.

I love these! Very versatile and can hold a variety of items. I've used them in my laptop bag instead of a pencil pouch to hold pens, highlighters, charging cards, thumb drives, post it notes, etc. You can store practically anything you'd need for your backpack/work bag in here. I have also used a smaller size one to help organize my purse- little pouches and containers that I have to put things back into never get put back and I end up with a purse full of loose junk. I use these in my purse for my phone charger, pens, paper, makeup, extra battery pack for my phone, some cards (library card, store cards, etc), coupons, band-aids, lotion, hand sanitizer... you get the picture. If you are like me and hate digging around in pouches and bags trying to find what you need, give these a try! Super handy and they make everything really easy to find! Love these and will eventually buy more when I eventually wear mine out.

The Grid-It organizer system is so simple and so elegant. It's a genius idea that really has lasting power. These are made available a variety or sizes and colors.Pros:+ Conveniently switch all your essentials from one bag to another with the Grid-It+ Stores almost anything you can imagine with a multitude of configurations+ Durable elastic bands hold items in place+ AFFORDABLE! Some organizers charge a premium to just carry your stuff. These are incredibly reasonable in price! It's easy to buy more than one without suffering a financial recession.++ GREAT customer service from Cocoon! I had one of the bands rip from normal wear and when I contacted Cocoon they send a replacement right away. Really nice of them. :-)*Customer service is always a big point to me, because items will eventually fail or be flawed. Companies that help and support their consumers are doing themselves a favor by building good-will and a trusting relationship. I've had some companies with bad customer service, and others with great customer service. Guess which ones I repeat shop and which ones I avoid?Cons:- The color options are stuck in black and gray. I wish they'd release some bolder colors for spunkier organizers. ;-)- It tends to bend if you stress it too much. This obviously makes sense, but I'd like to to be slightly more sturdyWhat I carry on mine:Right now I'm using the larger size (8" x 12", gray)...MyCharge Hub 9000mAh portable battery chargerKinivio BTE40 Bluetooth HeadsetSmall watch case (I use for things like spare contacts and eyedrops)Apple Lightning USB Cable Retractable (Cybertech brand)MicroUSB cable with 30pin connector (OPSO brand)Three pens8GB and 64gb USB Flash DrivesSterling Lock with Keys attachedAll of this fit snugly and comfortably on my Grid-It. When I have to switch bags I just swap back and forth. It's so simple and easy, I love it!

Learn from me, You will eventually want the bigger one, so long as it fits in the pocket you want it in.

Brilliant, proved itself invaluable as soon as I realised just how many fiddly little items I could keep from disappearing down the side of the sofa, never to be seen again... my sofa's eaten a lot of pricey memory cards over the years! I mostly use it for techie stuff but I have also got a a small one which has got rescued earrings in it, and a couple of useful allen keys and one of those things that helps you do up bracelets by yourself, and a few other bits, and I'm considering getting one for stationery items. Multi purpose is an understatement :D

Nicely presented in a box and sturdy construction, but I was surprised that it was not completely black as per the description and pictures, but partly purple (see my photo). This was not to my taste and I wouldn't have ordered had I known. I ordered 2, both as gifts, and both are black/purple.As other reviewers have mentioned, it is quite heavy given its size and there is no pocket on the reverse which I think is only a feature on the larger sizes. This one was the small size.

I got fed up of trying to untangle cords and wires after travelling, and this does the job. It's very flexible, the grid system means you can organise it to suit whatever you have, and you can see at a glance what is there. The elastic is very strong, but it's easy to get items into the grid, even large ones like charger plugs. You can also store memory cards and sticks, and even a smartphone. Very helpful, glad I bought it.

IMO These make geat presents for people who like to be organised, or for those who keep losing stuff and want to be organised. I love them. I keep one hanging from my desk light with pens and bits and pieces tucked into it.I gave this as a present and it was gratefully received :-)

Definitely a weird product since you don't know if you need it till you have it, and I can tell you right now that it makes a huge difference! Whenever I've got my bag, I have to bring this with me since it's not just making life easier by allowing you to hold things in a small place but also by preventing inconveniences such as tangled wires.
