Declutter Your Space And Organize Your Cords With CordBrick
Ever dropped your phone cord by your nightstand? Do you need to manage cords better around your desk, or while traveling? CordBrick comes to the rescue! This product is a patented device and cord solution created by serial entrepreneur Nick Barrett, AKA “CordBrick Nick.”
Made of silicone and weighted with steel, its unique design allows it to adapt to ANY charging situation and since there’s no adhesive, it can be used multiple times. It comes in several colors, including glow-in-the-dark (limited availability), making it the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone with a phone.
The Coolest Product Of NRF 2023: CordBrick Takes The Prize
How does it work? It weighs down and gathers cord ends with a weighted, specially designed BRICK of silicone and can wrap cords for travel, with easy unwrapping too.
Its 6 special channels are designed for holding: 4 cords and wrapping/grabbing 2 cords and phones. All 6 channels can fit Apple AirPods, and things like pens, too.
From DUIs & jail to a winning product, Nick’s invention was recently awarded the “Coolest Product” at NRF 2023 (10K prize) and is currently an Amazon Launchpad Product.
He says, “My cord was always falling off the side of my bed when I was about to go to sleep. I started trying to create something to solve the problem since I didn’t see any good solutions available. Keep your focus on work or sleep instead of digging behind a desk for cord ends. Elderly customers have claimed injuries from falls from picking up fallen cords. Phones stay charged too – more reliably. You can keep a cord in reach in many areas and keep the surface clear.”

My Perspective
Because I’ve got a ton of electronic gadgets, my stash of charging cords is no joke. Luckily, this organizer allowed me to squeeze more than 3 of my charging cords.
But here’s the thing – when I gave it a little test run by picking it up every now and then, I noticed that a couple of cords had wiggled out of their spots.
Despite being heavy-duty, versatile, and top-notch, I like how it feels and looks. Thank you, Nick!
