Digital camera reviews of Belkin 8-Inch Velcro Cable Ties
Digital camera Review: Perfect for managing cords.
Summary: 5 Stars
These ties are perfect for managing cords. I like that they are reusable and can color-code your electronics. I use the colors based on sound cords. For example: black/silver for HDMI and red/green/blue for composite.
I would recommend getting two packages though, you'll probably need more than you think.
Digital camera Review: Poorly thought out design
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used a couple of types of Velcro cable ties in the past. The best ones have hooks all along one side and fuzz all along the other with a slot in the top, so you can loop it around the cable at one end so it stays attached even when the cable is unwrapped. These have hooks only on about an inch or two at one end of the tie. You have to wrap it carefully (and not particularly tightly) around the cable bunch until you get to then end with the hooks. If you unwrap the cable the tie falls off. These a just considerably more annoying to use than the type I first described. One other review mentioned these work best in more permanent installations where you aren't going to be undoing them regularly. True, but plastic zip ties and twist ties also work for this at a fraction of the cost.Digital camera Review: Terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
Go for the Velcro brand self looping ones and LEAVE THESE ALONE. The Belkin tag even fell off of two of mine. Moreso, the ties didn't hold very well. I'd never buy these again.Digital camera Review: That little extra to get free shipping
Summary: 5 Stars
I first got these because I needed just over 80 cents to get free shipping on an order. In that aspect these little things are great!
There isn't much to say about a cable tie, but for that extra nudge to get free shipping, these are a must!
Pros
-inexpensive bump to get free shipping
-velcro, and multi colored
-no more crazy wires!
Cons
-tag fell off of one, but for under 3 bucks, not that big a deal
-too short for anything other than cables, again not a real con but it would be great to see a similar product with more length.
I bought 3 packs of these so far and as long as I still have cables, I will slowly get more with each Amazon purchase :)
Digital camera Review: The best velcro ties
Summary: 5 Stars
These ties are simply the best for reducing wire clutter and for wrapping up cords. I have tried many others and none compare to these. Recommended!!!!!
