CONTROL YOURSELF iPod and iPhone Cord Control. In Apple's iPod ads all looks great where you dance to your favorite music, earbuds hooked in, white cord flying freely about you as if nothing else matters. It's an evocative image. In the real world just walking around a room can become a special kind of obstacle course where your earbud cord seems attracted to every chair arm, table edge or drawer pull that you pass... Sometimes it seems like everything in the room wants a piece of that free flowing white cord. Enter the Snik concept. Simple. Clean. Maybe even elegant.
