There a lot of things to like about the SCYA Cable clips, but 1 flaw that makes them 'just okay' in this reviewers heart.
Starting with the good. I think this is a fabulous concept! I love magnets and think we don't utilize them enough in our day to day operations. Like, why doesn't my phone have magnets built into it that allow me to easily go from my car dock to my wireless charger? Or a cable magnetically stick like the macbook pros? Anyway. The whole setup is sleek and looks good. The clips have a few different shape, so my flat cord sits it in one made for flat cables (which also works for round ones) and the different size cables seemed to be very tight fitting. I really don't think one of those clips could come off without some significant effort. The 3M adhesion seems to very secure on my night stand where I setup to hold my few cables that run away from me nightly.
So the bad? Well, the problem is that the magnets (in my opinion) are not quite strong enough. The purpose of this apparatus is to hold my cables when I am not using it, it does that, but if I just bump it (which I do, it is right next to my bed side) the cables bounce right off and are completely lost again. The bump, pretty slight, is enough to dislodge the cables from it's magnetic home. I don't think it would be hard increase the strength of magnets to counteract simple bumps.
If you have an area that isn't prone to human flailing then this product might work just fine for you. I think the magnetic power could be better.
