Improved Ipad Charger Cord>Sugru Night GeeksOK

Having seen a few of the other 'bles that concerned the Ipad cord I thought why not combine the two that seemed to work the best.

The plan was to build a better strain relief into the Cord using first a spring from a ball point pin and a package of Sugru.

Prep

1 Ball point pen
1 or 2  5g packs of Sugru color is up to you.

Build

Start by carefully winding the spring onto the cord and align it about halfway up the factory strain relief.  Prepare your Sugru by rolling it into a 1/8 inch snake.

Carefully wind the Sugru around the plug and down to cover the spring, I didn't press the Sugru into the coils of the spring as I wanted the cord to move independantly of the spring.  Shape the Sugru to your liking making the connection to the cord and the plug body.

Finished Product
