The document discusses the problem of cables tangling frequently which causes damage and is annoying for users. Survey results show that 62% of musicians and 63% of other cable users view tangling as a problem and are willing to pay for a solution. Several patent ideas are presented but don't fully solve the problem. Eight design ideas are considered and Idea #3, #4 and #8 are selected for prototyping. Testing of the initial prototype revealed issues with durability that required design changes and modifications to address fitting and sizing problems.

The pieces broke a lot The pieces didnt fit together The product shell was printed way too big
Prototype design was modded through Autodesk Inventor The double hinge was changed into a butt- hinge so the top could stay in place
