Wait...what's wrong with the cord wrapper that comes with the power supply? It would be one thing if this was low profile or super high quality looking, but it sort of looks like someone wrapped a friendship bracelet around a macbook charger and a coaster at the same time.

@colbyh my thoughts also. It seems to add a lot of bulk. Which is a bit counterintuitive

@colbyh Maybe it’s the next fashion statement! Back to your point, I really wanted the adapter’s built-in ‘wings’ to work - but it didn’t. When I placed the coiled adapter in my bag, it would unravel at the slightest jostle. The cord would come off that little clip towards the end with a just light flick and even when it did stay, the coils unravel nonetheless. I ended up always having to store the adapter in a separate compartment. The PowerPlay on the hand…we carried out some heavy-duty tests by placing it in a bag along with other contents and putting it through a one-minute shake test. The cords stayed put.

@colbyh @_jacksmith On bulk - we thought that as well. However, when you wrap the cords around the adapter, the coils extend out on both sides of the adapter and end up taking space there too. What the PowerPlay does is simply place the cords’s volume alongside the adapter. The bulk added from the leather is quite minimal and for me, worth the trade-off.
