Apple’s products have become rather popular in the last decade, and, as a result, we have a society that’s crazy about the iPad, the iPhone (News - Alert), and other “i” phenomena. The only problem is that the cables that all these products use are completely identical. Two audio cables from an iPod’s headphones can’t easily be distinguished from one another, can they?

Buoy Tags has come up with a solution to this dilemma, with labels destined for use with any cable of any Apple (News - Alert) product. With these labels, you can identify a cable, customize its labeling, and protect your property without having any adverse effect on the cords themselves. To attach a label, you only need to snap the two halves to one another after inserting the template.

When you’re sitting down listening to something on your iPad via headphones and enjoying time with another Apple user, your friend could easily walk away with one of your cables unintentionally. If you label your cables properly, you won’t have to worry about that, since you can easily identify which ones are yours and which one belong to your confrere.

Another issue comes when you lose a cable. Buoy Tags allows you to order labels that have your name and phone number on them, making it simple to get a hold of you when you leave one of them behind. You can even design custom labels so they go along with your feng shui. All the labels are compatible with Apple Earbuds, Magsafe Adapters, or USB dock connectors.

If you’d like to buy a label, Buoy Tags sells a pack of 3 cable labels for $12. The savings you make by reducing the chance of having to replace each cable is much higher, albeit the high price for the small clips. Have a look at Buoy Tags’ website if you believe this will help you
