Cocoon Innovation GRID-IT! Organizer Medium 12 Inch x 8 Inch, Slate Gray

Helpful if you need somewhere to put all your wires. Can be slightly annoying in your bag if you put other stuff on top of it, but I mostly use this in in my house, as it has a loop on the side to hang. Bit pricey but it's very nice quality.

I have had my eyes on one for quite some time as they are mentioned a lot in tech videos on YouTube. I thought they looked great and would be a great solution for me to organise my tech when swapping out between my work rucksack and our rucksack for family outings.Out of the box my first thought was that it is well made and of good quality. It's also rather heavy. I would say it is too heavy and it adds too much weight considering its purpose.My kindle fits happily in the zip pocket on the back (I purchased a medium) and I could fit all the stuff I wanted through the bands on the front - it looked great!My main problem with it (apart from the weight) is that there is no protection for your items once loaded in your bag. I guess that's obvious considering the design but in reality - placing the other items I need in my backpack along with it just does not work. A way round this is by placing the gridit in the pocket at the back which is normally reserved for a laptop. If you have more compartments in your bag then I am sure you will be fine (the medium gridit is roughly a4 in size)I do think it's a great item but unfortunately it just doesn't work for me. I guess I didn't really think the purchase through and instead got caught up in how tech savvy I would be for purchasing it!I am now trying to figure out what zip up tech travel case is best for me.

I find this very useful for organising charging cables, power pack, bits and pieces in my back pack. It stops everything falling to the bottom of the bag.

Like it a lot, very very useful. Practical, light, strong.If I could want for an additional feature, it would be a cover/zip around piece of material (like there is a zip pocket on the back) to cover the items you have behind the elastic straps. I get this is a minimal item but to 'hide' the messy look of cables and bits and pieces would be a nice option.The reason I say this is because while I move around, I would take this out of my bag and put on top of a desk where I'm working for example - I wouldn't want to display this to others or see it myself so I find myself taking it our of my bag to get the thing I need, then I put it back inside my bag.

This is an excellent product if you like all the cables and devices you carry round to be held safely and securely.These are the things I loveThe straps are elastic with a non slip covering to hold precious gadgets in placeThe straps are woven so there are different sized openings, smaller ones for pens and USB drives, larger ones for ipods and chargers.There is a small zipped pocket at the back for a small notepad or similar.I love the way that gadgets are held secure so that they do not move in my laptop bag and so get scratchedIt is very easy to put items in the Grid-itIt is very easy to remove itemsYou can see, when leaving a hotel room if something is missing as there is a space where it should be (I leave lots of things in hotel rooms so this is a big plus for me)I have been using this for a few days and all the items secured to this have stayed secure and not moved at all.It is a superb product, which although expensive, is well worth the money.

I really like this - I hate rooting about in my bag trying to find a miniature bottle of hand-cream or roll of rennies etc. There are lots of pockets in my backpack but they're always crammed with packs of tissues, entry badges, pens, wet-wipes, spectacle-cleaners etc. This is perfect for organising all the small and oddly-shaped bits and pieces in a really quick-reference sort of way. My only quibble is that it's relatively heavy so it does add not-insignificant weight to your bag. Considering that my job is quite mobile and I routinely carry a laptop, cable, external power supply, external HD, torch, portable electrical strip, water bottle, penknife, umbrella, jumper - you get the idea. The extra weight is a slight issue. Having said that, I'm still using it because of the joy of being able to put your hand on the thing you want right away.

I use this every day, it sits in my back pack holding my sunglasses, laptop charger, battery pack and drawing pens. Have been using for about a month now and no signs of wear and tear. The zip pocket on the back is useful for small items such as erasers and a screen/glasses wipe. Overall this item has proved very useful to take all those small items in my backpack and neatly organise them for easy retrieval. One caveat is the overabundance of small loops, my laptop charger (macbook) and rechargeable battery pack take the two "large" slots and leave some rather annoying small loops which have no use to me, I was using them to hold pencils individually but have since found that they are too tight on even pencils to be accessible quickly. If you have items larger than macbook charger which needs holding, I would consider going for a large size rather than medium.

A friend suggested this as a useful thing to carry on a recent trip to Disney World. It fits well into a rucksack or satchel and I was able to add a portable battery and set of cables for charging everything. By having things neatly arranged all the cables were easily accessed and none got damaged.I really liked the way I could pull the whole thing out easily. When necessary I was able to connect the charging cables to the battery and phone and add the phone to the organiser so I could drop it into my bag while it got some extra juice.I now keep a set of cables on the cocoon all the time, making packing for trips that bit easier. No more forgotten chargers!
