<p>Is that Magsafe cord getting in your way? Try attaching the cord to the side of your Mac’s display by using the cables clip. This works with newer MacBook Pro’s, unibody MacBooks, and new MacBook Air’s.</p>

<p>If you’re wondering, this is not what the intended use of that magsafe clip is, it’s intended to wrap around and clip to itself for easy carrying, but it works. This is a really creative way to manage cords, although it’s not quite as universal as the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/03/24/instant-cheap-cable-organization-the-most-useful-thing-ive-seen-all-week/">binder clip method</a>.

Lifehacker found the idea on Reddit, and contrary to what <a href="http://lifehacker.com/#!5791354/get-better-control-over-your-macbooks-power-cord-with-its-built+in-wrapping-clip">Lifehacker</a> says, the Magsafe clip does stick to the edge of a MacBook Air just fine as you can see in my picture above. </p>

<p>Here is LH’s image of this in use on a MacBook Pro:</p>
