Digital Innovations The Nest – Tangle-Free Earphone / Earbud Case, Durable and Compact Storage System, Black

Oh my goodness, this is the simplest item, but so helpful and handy! The pictures are just as they show. It is that simple to use. It's soft silicone I believe, so it is really easy to work with. This 'nest' has spared my earbuds from the ravages of my two kittens! The cords wrap neatly around this simple design. I think it's silicon, so its nice an pliable and easy to use. I liked this so much that I bought several, keeping the cats safe and the kids from fighting over earbuds. I even went so far as to color coordinate, so that each kid has an assigned color. Done! I can be rough on my earbuds, as I'm a producer and toss them into bags, my handbags, jacket pocket, etc. On top of that, I just love that they are made in the USA. Hooray!

I absolutely love this case! When I bought it I just wanted something to keep my earbuds from tangling. It has turned into a multi-tool that I don't leave home without! It does exactly what it's intended to do. It keeps the earbuds nicely organized and keeps them from tangling. It also extends the life of the earbuds as the cords don't get all wrinkled and twisted and there is less stress on where they connect to the plug and ear bud part. I've had this over a year and half now and it still looks brand new. I've attached pictures I took yesterday. One tip I can provide if you buy this product is when you are winding the cord around and you find the plug doesn't line up perfectly with one of the slots in the center, just unwind a few inches and wind it higher or lower around the center to get a new position. Ok the reason I Love this case is for the other uses I use it for. The greatest one is that I can take my microfiber cloth and push it into the center after my earbuds are in there and carry all of that in once compact case! So if I'm going to watch a video I have my cloth to clean the screen right with the ear buds I need to listen. Also I bend the bottom of the case halfway and it creates a little stand for when I want to watch a video. Since the material is rubbery the phone stays in place and tilts on an angle for a great view! All around it has stood the test of time. It has more uses then you might think at first. Awesome case!

... except I purchased three of these at the same time at least 10 years ago. One of them is in almost daily use and shows zero signs of wear. The corded earpods installed also show zero signs of wear although they do hold the coil they've been in for a short time. I just purchased another device that uses a larger cord for charging and, while the larger size of this case now available would probably work better, I have installed it in one of the others I purchased so long ago just to shorten the cord while charging the new device. This is a top quality product!

Easy to use, works well. It took a few try's to figure out the best way to wrap my earbuds, they have a volume control so it was an added part to insert in the middle. They do get a tiny bit tangled because of this, not horribly, it only takes a second to get untangled. I don't think this would happen if you do not have the volume control on the wires. When ordering the different colors were different prices....why?, so went with the green instead of my preferred color. But not a huge deal as long as they keep my cords from being tangled and it's easy to find in my bag. It is a bit of a magnet for crumbs. It does keep my cords neat, ready to use and easy to find. And well the green may make it easier to see in my bag? Overall very pleased with it, hope it lasts a good long bit.

To the reader(s) of this review. If you're like me, you can't keep headphones in good condition to save your life. It's not your fault, you don't abuse them, you don't just toss them in your pockets or backpack all willy-nilly while they bounce around in there crashing into every ear-bud destroying object which is basically everything that's a solid chunk of matter. This nifty silicon case eliminates all these issues. This would be money well spent for music lovers on the go who, like me, lose more earbuds to unintential destruction than you can keep count. The Nest is made of a rubbery, matte finished silicon and is about 2" in diameter give or take. As you can see from the pictures, the outer "rim" unfolds exposing the inner portion of the case which has six "teeth" that flex to hold your earbuds inside the center of the case while you wind the cable around the cyndrilical portion, place in the cord, then fold back the "rim" to keep your earbuds snugly secure. That's it! The case is brilliantly designed and does it's job perfectly. Now I realize between the words rim and teeth I may have described something out of a horror movie than an earbud case but I assure you this sucker is anything but a monstrosity. The silicon is tough and you won't feel like you are going to cause damage by regular use; but I'd vouch be gentle with it regardless if you can help it. It seems to catch dust easily, I can those little fuzzies all over mine but frankly who cares; I mean note that there are NO REVIEWS for this thing under four stars and for good reason. If you've been searching high and low across the endless data that is the internet for an earbud case; your quest is at an end, noble Amazon browser. You have found your earbud case. NOTE: To all those who have earbuds with a line-in mic, the case still works. Here's what I do to use it since my earbuds have a mic. Unfold the case as normal and insert the mic into the case with the cables sticking out on opposite ends of the center. Wrap the earbuds themselves in one direction and the auxiliary jack in another, and put them back into the center with the mic. It will be a bit of a squeeze, but I've never run into any issues. Even this isn't worth taking a star off for.

I love this Cord Nest. I bought a couple of them few years ago. I think the XL size fits adaptor and cord better than any other products. It gives me tangle free cable management for all kinds of cords. I could easily pack them in my carry-on luggage whenever I travel.

Really good product that I'm glad I purchased. Quick to put in and take out even on the move and fits nicely in your pocket. Initially I used this with earbuds that had a small straight 3.5mm plug but I was worried about if it would still work when I got a pair of earbuds with the 90 degree plug at the end. Odd at first but still works just fine without poking me or anything as I walk/sit with it in my pocket. Only issue I can see is if you had one of those really long 3.5mm ends it might stick out so just watch out for that.

I'm not sure exactly what happened but there is an odd smell of old rubber after using it for a few weeks. I purchased 2 together and one seems to have a strong "burnt rubber" smell, the second has a strong plastic smell. The concept is nice, though, and carries a compact wall adapter + the accompanying cable together in a compact form. It's easy to access both the cable and the wall adapter by turning the edges down.

I use this for my phone earphones with call microphone built in to them. If you want them for the same reason, get the xl like i did, you'll need it. Very easy to use and quality craftsmanship, it'll last a long time.

Funcionalidad regular para cuando tienes el celular en las manos y quieres guardar los auriculares, me ayudan las dimensiones y forma del estuche para no enredarse el cable, se usa como en el vídeo creí que podía caber un cargador pequeño de apple de cuadrito pero esta muy estrecho el espacio para eso

This product works as designed. Easy to use and compact enough to fit into any pocket. So nice I bought it twice! I recently thought I lost my Nest and I liked this item so much and it is so useful that I immediately ordered another one.
