You’ve probably seen charms that you can put around the stem of wine glasses so you’ll always know which glass is yours at a party. Well, now you can make sure that you know which cable is yours with iDBeads. iDBeads are silicone charms that have been designed to work with Apple Lightning cables and earpods cables. They come in a variety of shapes and colors and easily slide over the cables so that you can create your own combination of beads for easy identification. Each set of iDBeads comes with 6 different shapes and colors for $12.95 or a family pack of 24 iDBeads for $35. That’s a LOT of money to pay for some little plastic beads. Save some money and just put some colored tape at the end of the cable if you have some irrational fear of picking up the wrong cable. But seriously, shouldn’t you already know which cable is yours because it’s probably attached to your phone? If not, check iDBeads.com for more info or Amazon if you really want to buy a set at a discount.

My niece would have loved this when she was 6 to 10.
She’s 26 now. Left the demographic.
I know my cable is attached to my phone so that’s not the point. What happened in our family is that there was constant swiping
If you have cable thieves, couldn’t they remove the iDBeads so they wouldn’t be caught? My tape idea would be harder to remove.
Cable thieves are to be dealt with in a swift and severe manor. Lets see how Little Johnie likes being Johnie 9 fingers.
Wow, remind me never to cross you! 😉
We’re 5 in the family and each of has a different combo of the beads. If one likes tape you’d have to run around to find 5 colors.
