Tetran gobbles up earphones

A creative way to store your earphones called "Tetran" comes from
TUNEWEAR. We think the picture explains the concept pretty well, but just in case: after inserting your earphones in the mouth of this thing that looks like a water mine, you wrap your earphone cable around its spikes. Cables are still the bane of consumer electronics, so it's always nice to see new approaches to handling them. According to TUNEWEAR, the Tetran can also be used as a massager or stress ball when not in use. $12.95 might be a tad steep for what amounts to a plastic ball, but since it still falls in that "Under $20" category, it shouldn't be too big a deal for giving friends and coworkers this holiday season.
