Hangs easily

Reduces cord wear and fatigue

Cost friendly

Simple, yet effective, the iOrganize is the worlds first true miscellaneous cord organizer. Made of lightweight yet strong plastic, it hangs in your closet, can support up to four pounds and holds up to 20 cables. It promises to relieve the headache of messy cords once and for all.

Featuring a built in swivel, the iOrganize spins at the lightest touch. Allowing you to locate your desired cord instantly and without fuss. Each arm has a 90 degree lip which keeps the cords from falling off. No obnoxious tangles you have to deal with anymore!

Besides the main unit, each iOrganize package comes complete with 40 colored clip labels. 20 Small & 20 Large. These easy to attach clips fasten onto your cords and allow you to secure them onto the main unit. Besides being color coated, each clip label has enough room to write down what each cord is for to further simplify your organization needs if you wish.

Write-on labels allow even further convenience

Folding cords causes wear and fatigue over time

1.0 THE PROJECT

They come with almost every computer, electronic toy, gadget, gizmo and trinket there is. There's no doubt cords are necessary with our electronic device(s). Whether it's to charge a battery, transfer files, or supply power, the almighty cord is required with practically every electronic device.

As necessary as cords are, we don't need them all the time. When everything is charged up and happy, the cords stay put. When our current project is all wrapped up, the cords get put away and so on. Although if your like me, you quickly shove them away anywhere you can to get them out of site when your done using them.

Unfortunately, over time, cords seem to reproduce and multiply. Filling up your desk, tabletop or computer drawer with clutter. Before you know it, you've been invaded and now have this problem...

Over the years I have tried to deal with "Cord Slew" as best as I can. I've thrown them into large zip lock baggies, I've tried labeling each cord, I've tried using rubber bands to keep everything neat and tidy. Although these methods did reduce the problem some, they did not solve it. When I needed to quickly locate a cord, I found myself digging through a endless bag of black cords, searching through countless labels and when found, having to remove the rubber bands. Eeeek!

All in all, it was not the solution I was happy with. It took lots of time, and time is something I really treasure. I knew there had to be an easier way to quickly organize my cords and locate them just as quickly when the moment came.

I searched the web for hours trying to locate a solution which turned me up with nothing. The best I could find were ways to hide cords you are currently using, but not ways to keep them tidy when you are not.

I knew I had to take matters into my own hands.

Designed a few prototypes but each had it's own flaws. The problem was trying to design a unit that would hold a variety of different cord sizes and not have it be specific per arm.

2.0 THE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Design #1 was made out of wood, nails and binder type clips. It held the cords but was just too homemade looking held fewer cords than I needed and it required using 3M tape, Velcro or nails to hold it on your wall. I asked myself, "would I buy this" and the answer was no.

Design #1

The second design worked okay. I removed the need to use tape or Velcro to hold the unit up and moved onto just a basic hanger type hook. The faulty problem with this design were the arms. To place the cord inside, you had to slightly bend the arm which then realigned after letting go. However, over time, this caused fatigue on the plastic and after a few uses, a couple snapped.

Design #2

In design number three, I removed the holes and just replaced them with solid arms. This worked better and kept the arms from unneeded stress. To keep the cords from sliding off I tried adding a rubber bumper stop at the end. This worked for larger cords with big end connectors but did not work for smaller connectors.

Design #3

Mold making of final design

3.0 THE REWARDS

4.0 PRODUCTION AND FULFILLMENT PLAN

The iOrganize is ready to hit the shelves and I believe it will help thousands of people get organized.

Assuming we achieve our funding goal, and because of the developmental work we have already invested time in, the production and fulfillment stages of the project will move very quickly.

As soon as your pledges start arriving for this project, I will begin production. I pride myself on giving my word and work around the clock to meet my estimated deadline goals for you.

When I made the first prototype, I used a plaster mold and fiberglass casting resin. This was to check out the general design and see how the cords would fit. Of course fiberglass casting resin is too brittle for any application other than ornamental.

For that reason, I chose RTV platinum cured mold making silicone for a more dependable mold. This allowed me to use polyurethane casting resin. With a 65 to 70 Shore D hardness, polyurethane resin is more than adequate for our product. However, the molds are gravity fed and rely on a chemical reaction to cure into a solid object. This limits the runs to about 30 units a day.

Keeping an eye on the future, my father went to high school with a friend who is now a Tool and Die maker. This gentleman assisted me with our last Kickstarter project design.

If demand for our product warranties it, he is ready to produce an injection molding die for us. This would allow us to use thermoplastic polymers. While the strength would be the same, the material could be injected under force into the mold instead of relying on gravity. Also the release time would be much quicker, because you wouldn't have to wait for a chemical reaction, only a slight cooling of the plastic.

This would allow us to mass produce as many as needed at any of the numerous injection molding companies here in the Seattle area.

Thank you for your support with my project!
