CordBrick/GlowBrick vs. Adhesive Cable Holders: Why Weighted Wins Every Time

Tangled cords cluttering your desk or nightstand? Adhesive cable holders might seem like an easy fix, but they often fall short. CordBrick and GlowBrick, our weighted cord holders, offer a smarter, more flexible solution. Here's why they outperform sticky clips, plus their added perks as phone accessories and travel companions.

Adhesive Cable Holders: The Problems

Once you stick most adhesive clips down, they’re locked in place. Need to move it? You’re out of luck—repositioning often damages paint or furniture. They leave sticky residue that’s tough to clean, sometimes scratching surfaces. Some clips claim they’re movable, but lose grip fast, especially on textured or damp surfaces, with users noting they “fall off in a day” or fail with thicker cables or rough use. Worst of all, if they break or peel off, they leave tough-to-remove bits and residue. 

Why CordBrick/GlowBrick Stands Out

CordBrick and GlowBrick use a weighted steel core and grippy silicone—no glue needed. Place them on any surface—desk, nightstand, counter—and move them anytime without residue. They hold up to six cords securely, keeping chargers or earbuds in place. Durable and reusable, they’re an eco-friendly upgrade over disposable clips. GlowBrick adds a glow-in-the-dark feature, perfect for finding your charger at night.

Phone Accessories and Travel Perks

Beyond cords, CordBrick/GlowBrick double as phone stands for hands-free video calls or scrolling. They also hold small items like earbuds or pens. For travel, their “Snap, Wrap, Trap, Release” system wraps cords tightly, preventing tangles in bags. Unlike adhesives stuck at home, these stay with your chargers, ready for hotels or offices.

Other Weighted Holders

But wait - there are other weighted holders, you say? 

While it’s true, it’s misleading to think they’re similar. Other weighted holders only do one thing - hold cords. CordBrick & GlowBrick can do a number of other things for your cords & phone, giving them tons of added value - for the same cost - setting them apart from other weighted holders.

Conclusion

Adhesive clips create more hassle than help with their residue, immobility, and short lifespan. CordBrick and GlowBrick deliver a movable, durable, multi-use solution. Starting at $14.97 in colors like blue, pink, or glow-in-the-dark, they’re a practical gift or personal upgrade and can be found at cordbrick.com and on other popular online retailers.
