The Best Bag and Cable Organizers

By Kaitlyn Wells

Whether you commute to the office, the coffee shop, or your backyard, you probably need a way to organize the pens, tech accessories, and toiletries you take with you every day.

To find the best options for different people to carry what they might need with them, we’ve researched more than 70 bag organizers and tested 31 of them, and we’ve found five organizers we like for their style, durability, and usability.

Some backpacks and purses come with all the pockets and loops you could possibly need, but others are black holes, swallowing charging cables, tubes of lip balm, and just about everything else. For people who have the latter kind of bag (and I count myself among them), the right bag organizer simplifies grabbing accessories while you’re on the go, or when you’re moving gear from one bag to another.

But everyone has different carrying needs, which is why we have picks to suit a variety of situations: a tech-forward cable organizer that zips closed , a customizable mesh-pouch setup , and a stylish duo of cosmetics travel pouches made of premium materials —as well as some alternatives where applicable.

The research

Best for chargers and cables: incase nylon accessory organizer, most customizable: the container store black micro mesh pouches, also consider: vaultz mesh storage bags, best for toiletries (and tech): osprey ultralight roll organizer, for luxe organizers: cuyana leather travel case set, how to choose a bag organizer system, how we picked and tested, the competition.

Incase Nylon Accessory Organizer

Best for tech and gadgets.

A slim, light, and water-resistant bag that keeps your gear organized, accessible, and secure when you’re on the go.

Buying Options

Incase’s Nylon Accessory Organizer is temporarily out of stock. Incase has told us that it should return in early 2024.

Get this if: You want a sturdy, lightweight, waterproof organizer to corral all of your gadgets and chargers as well as some toiletries or cosmetics in one place.

Why it’s great: The Incase Nylon Accessory Organizer has plenty of room for everyday gear; it zips closed, so items won’t get lost or fall out; and it’s water-repellent.

The Incase bag is roughly the size and shape of a large paperback, and like a book it opens flat from a spine. It’s 2 inches thick, which is among the slimmest we found for this type of bag, but it still has enough space to stash most of what we carried for a day . It has two medium-sized loops that can hold two 5 W USB power adapters or multiple pens. It has an external zip pocket with a cable-sized hole leading to the inside. We love this feature because it’s great for charging a phone without removing the external battery pack from the main compartment. It also has a large, padded pocket lined in faux fur that won’t scratch delicate phone screens. The bag’s inside flaps have a mesh pocket that is big enough to store a MacBook power adapter (with the cord in a different pocket), five more mesh or solid pockets of various sizes, a small zip pocket ideal for SD cards, a pen loop, and three small elastic loops that are the right size for earbuds.

With all of the organization slots, your gear stays neatly in place, even if you drop your bag. None of the items got tangled or moved about when we shook and flipped this Incase bag around. This wasn’t the largest bag we looked at, due to its slim design, but it will hold most of what you need for the course of a day.

This bag is a poly-nylon blend, so it’s durable. In our tests, some bags, like one from Bagsmart , ended up scuffed and discolored from rubbing against the cables we loaded into the bags—but the Incase stayed pristine. The Incase was one of two cable-organizer bags we tested for our 2019 update that successfully repelled water—not just from the exterior material, but also along the piping, which is where other cases often failed and liquid soaked through, potentially damaging your important gear.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Incase cable organizer is a soft-shell bag, so its contents can distort the bag’s shape when full. But the bag’s edges remain rigid—so the seams don’t pucker—it’s contents don’t fall out, and zipping and unzipping the bag is still easy.

Sizes: 9½ by 6 by 2 inches

Colors: mulberry, olive

The Container Store Micro Mesh Pouches

Our favorite pencil pouch bag.

Affordable, smooth-zipping, mesh pouches that let you see what’s inside for a modular approach to organization.

For more colors, visit containerstore.com .

Get this if: You prefer to have different bags for different kinds of gear—phone cables, cosmetics, pens and notepads—so you can grab only what you’re going to need.

Why it’s great: The Container Store Micro Mesh Pouches are a no-frills solution for keeping your cables and toiletries organized while being able to clearly see what’s inside. These pouches are made of a finer mesh than other mesh bags we tested, so smaller items, such as pens and hairpins, won’t fall through the holes. The material also has some give, so you can stuff the bag without fear of splitting a seam. And we found the zipper to be the smoothest among those of all the pouches we tested.

These pouches are great for mixing colors and sizes to match your organizational needs. They come in three sizes and four colors; we recommend the two smaller bags because they’re easier to carry and load into a backpack or tote bag. We also like assigning each bag’s contents a different color, so it’s easier to grab the right items in an instant. That way you can have one bag for gadgets and accessories you take when flying, say, and another for the makeup you bring to work for touch-ups, and you can easily know which one to grab on the way out the door. (Jada Yuan, writer of The 52 Places Traveler at The New York Times, parent company of Wirecutter, also uses these bags. )

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Because the bags are covered in tiny holes, liquids will spill in and out of them, and they’re not ideal if you want complete privacy for your toiletry items. As a workaround, we recommend storing your toiletries in a black micro-mesh bag because the darker color will mask the bag’s contents better than the lighter ones.

Sizes: 7¾ by 4 inches; 7½ by 3 by 5 inches; or 14¼ by 10½ inches (but we think this bag is too big for most people)

Colors: aqua , black , pink , or silver

Vaultz Mesh Cord Bags

For wrangling big cables.

These mesh bags are affordable, but the larger mesh holes make them better for bulky items and thick cable cords than smaller bits.

Get this if: You like the idea of organizing your stuff into a collection of mesh bags, but you don’t want to spend a lot—and you don’t tend to carry very, very small items.

Why we like it: Wirecutter senior editor Dan Frakes likes the Vaultz Cord Storage Bags as modular storage at a fraction of the cost of other bags. The mesh bags are sold in a pack of four for just $8 at the time of writing, while The Container Store pick starts at $5 each. These zip pouches are lighter and more pliant than any other bag we tested, and can scrunch into a tight ball when not in use and still rebound to their original shape. Each pack comes in a combination of four different sizes and colors. This makes it easy to organize your gear and grab the right pouch from your travel bag in an instant. You can separate daily tech and toiletry supplies into two bags, keep a driving kit in your car for phone mounts, pack charging cables and adapters in another, and save the last one for important documents when you’re traveling out of town.

Where it falls short: These mesh bags aren’t great for storing smaller items (such as earbuds and pens) because it’s easier for them to get caught in the holes or fall out. And because the bags are made of mesh they’re not waterproof.

Sizes: 9 by 9¼ inches; 5½ by 9 inches; 5 by 8 inches; 5 by 7 inches

Colors: black, red, orange, and yellow; or mint, pink, purple, and blue (for $6 more)

Osprey UltraLight Roll Organizer

A slim toiletry bag.

Slim, but organized, with plenty of pockets and a loop to hang it from.

Get this if: You want a bag that packs slim and lets you see most of your stuff at a glance, but you don’t need it to be waterproof, and you don’t mind unrolling the whole bag to remove a single item.

Why we like it: The Osprey UltraLight Roll Organizer is what Wirecutter deputy editor Michael Zhao uses to organize his cables and gear. Its dimensions (6 by 3 by 9 inches) make it the slimmest toiletry bag we tested, but it still packs plenty of storage space and organization features. Its combination of full-width, slimmer mesh compartments—great for cables, adapters, and pens—and a deeper pocket for accommodating bulkier chargers, batteries, and toiletries give you a lot of packing flexibility. You can see almost everything inside when the bag is fully opened and it folds into thirds like a letter for packing away.

The bag is also easier to spot-clean than other toiletry bags we tested. Both sides are made of ripstop nylon, which is slicker than canvas or ballistic-nylon bathroom bags, so it’s painless to wipe off lotions and liquid makeup foundation spills.

Where it falls short: In our tests, we found the Osprey cumbersome to both unbuckle and unroll to access a particular item. It’s not as intuitive to use as other picks, which you can just unzip. On the other hand, it has the benefit of letting you see what’s in each pocket at a glance without having to rummage through any dark compartments.

This toiletry bag also isn’t waterproof (the Dsptch Dopp Kit was the only truly waterproof toiletry bag we looked at). And a very, very small number of Amazon reviewers reported seams and mesh pockets ripping after just a couple months of use.

Colors: poppy orange

Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set

Our favorite luxury cosmetic bag.

Sturdily constructed, with smooth zippers and an easy-access clamshell design, these two bags retain their shape even when full of gear.

Get this if: You want a nicer-looking, more elegant way of carrying your accessories—and won’t miss individual compartments and lots of internal organization.

Why it’s great: We like the Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set because they’re a pair of two beautiful leather bags that are big enough to hold our essentials, and they have a broad base that keeps them upright when opened up. The clamshell bags come in 13 different jewel and pastel colors, and are made of Argentine leather with synthetic leather linings. The exterior leather is pebbled, which is easier to maintain a good grip on than the smooth, soft leathers of some other bags we tested. Each bag has gold- or silver-toned zippers that run effortlessly across their teeth. And the stitching throughout the bags is clean, and we didn’t find any signs of loose seams.

The Cuyana set is sold with a large (7 by 12 by 3½ inches) and small bag (5 by 8 by 2½ inches small). We easily fit our daily essentials in both cases, and closed them without having to force them like some other bags we tested. The organizers are spacious and the leather shell is thick, so they don’t warp when full. And the wide base makes each bag sturdy, so it won’t tip over either. Thanks to the clamshell design, the duo open wide enough to store bulky chargers and power adapters, along with everything else. The bags’ wide mouths also make it easier to search for objects that get lost in the bottom of the bag.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: We like that the Cuyana set comes with two bags, but feel that the larger one is too big to cart around daily with our other commuting gear. The large Cuyana is 7 by 12 by 3½ inches, which could be challenging to stuff into a backpack, messenger bag, or tote. The smaller clutch is a more manageable size at 5 by 8 by 2½ inches, and can easily fit into another bag. Both Cuyana bags lack multiple pockets and loops, so unsecured cords may tangle. (The large bag has one pocket; the small bag doesn’t have any). If you don’t plan on using both bags regularly, the $110 to $125 price may be prohibitive.

The Argentine leather requires delicate care, so if you’re rough with your accessories or are prone to spilling liquids and lotions, this bag isn’t for you. Cuyana recommends wiping small blotches with a damp cloth or leather cleaner, and consulting a leather-cleaning professional for serious stains.

Sizes: 7 by 12 by 3½ inches (large); 5 by 8 by 2½ inches (small)

Colors: more than a dozen

The easiest way to decide what type of organizer you need is to inventory the accessories you cart to and from work each day, then look at how you transport those items already, and how that systems works for you. For example, if you prefer to have many small bags for different situations, and you carry your gear in sandwich bags, a pouch system might work. Or, if you want to have everything with you at all times, and tend to just throw everything into in a big void in your backpack, the way to go may be a toiletry bag, traditional cable organizer, or makeup clutch.

Here’s a look at the different types of bag organizers we reviewed.

Pencil pouches are ideal if you prefer a minimalist and modular approach. They lack pockets and loops, and you can purchase as many as you need without paying for pockets you have no need for. These bags are often sold in different sizes so that you can divide your gear among them to your personal preference. They are likely to hold less gear per pouch and less likely to be waterproof than other bags we tested.

Cosmetic bags and toiletry/Dopp kits are pretty similar. They typically have a large main compartment and minimal organizational features—often a sole pocket or limited elastic loops. Unlike pencil pouches, most cosmetic bags and toiletry kits are opaque, so no one will know you’re packing a menstrual cup next to a multiport adapter . Most of the bags we tested in the category weren’t waterproof, including most toiletry bags.

Traditional cable organizers come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles. They can fold closed like a book, roll flat like a blanket, or have a flat, open grid system like a placemat. Our favorite style is a zippered book, which allows you to store gear in both covers, as well as the spine. They also come with more pockets and elastic loops than roll or grid organizers, and smaller gear won’t fall out of the bags like they can with the other styles. Many of these bags are marketed as water-repellent, but in our tests, those claims didn’t always live up to the hype.

We’ve researched dozens of bags over the past two years by browsing everything from manufacturer websites to bag enthusiast blogs. For our most recent update, we found seven new tech bags and tested the four we liked for their style and versatility; we also looked at their third-party reviews.

In 2018, we compiled a list of more than 65 options and divided them into four categories: pencil pouches and mesh bags, cosmetic bags, traditional cable organizers (which includes zip books, roll bags, and grid sheets), and toiletry bags. (For this guide, we didn’t review purse organizer inserts because that’s a different category entirely.) We considered each bag’s design, size, organizational features, materials used, price, and online owner reviews. Then we shrunk the list by consulting a small panel of Wirecutter staffers about what they prefer in a bag, and considered some bags that staff members loved. That left us with a spread of 27 bags to accommodate various tastes. We tested the bags based on the following criteria:

Overall design: We reviewed each bag’s materials; the elasticity of elastic loops; the smoothness of zippers; and advanced features, like customizable compartments.

Bag configurations: We filled each bag with a day’s worth of the accessories (below) a person might need when traveling to work each day, looking for bags that could hold more gear and were easier to organize:

• 1 USB flash drive
• 1 Lightning–to–3.5-mm headphone jack adapter
• 1 earbud set
• 1 laptop multiport adapter
• 1 external battery
• 1 USB power cord and adapter
• 1 travel-size bottle of lotion
• 1 bottle of hand sanitizer
• 1 small notepad
• 1 small pill bottle
• 1 makeup brush
• 1 makeup compact
• 3 hair ties
• and a partridge in a pear tree

Shape retention: We tried closing the bags when stuffed with gear, and noted which bags deformed under the pressure.

Contents retention: We zipped each bag, shook it around, and opened it again to see if its contents had flown about.

Waterproofing: We ran each closed bag under a kitchen faucet with a spray setting for five seconds. We took any bags that remained dry, filled them with 2 tablespoons of water, and checked them for leaks.

Community review: We asked 18 people to share their thoughts on their favorite bags from our test pool.

Assorted bags/pencil pouches

The Custom Leathercraft 3 Multi-Purpose Clip-on Zippered Bags are better suited for your home toolbox than an everyday gadget bag. The trio of pouches are made of canvas, so they’re tough, and sharp nails and needle-nose pliers won’t damage them. The canvas was rougher than our panelists preferred, and most staffers found the dark colors unattractive. Many of us also prefer pouches that are transparent because we don’t like guessing what’s stored in each bag in the set.

The IPOW BD02 pencil pouches are sold in a set of four. We liked the fun floral patterns and traditional pencil pouch shape. But the bags weren’t big enough to hold more than a single bulky item, such as a laptop charger. The zippers also stuck and some broke during our tests.

The five bags in the Modern Bethel Travel Pouch Set are covered in vinyl, so they’re waterproof. But in our tests, the seams weren’t stitched cleanly and the bags leaked water. We also found that the larger bags (13¾ by 10½ inches and 11 by 8¼ inches) are so big that they’re as bad as just leaving things loose in your backpack or purse to begin with.

The Muji Double Fastener Case (medium) was great for storing the small gear on our list. But it couldn’t hold our bulkier items without permanently deforming the polyester bag. It’s also not waterproof, so a spilled soda or leaking lotion bottle would damage its contents.

Cosmetic bags

The BUBM cord and cosmetic organizer is a two-way makeup and brush bag that’s convertible to store tech gear as well. The top is a traditional makeup bag, and the bottom unzips horizontally to store brushes, tablet pens, and skinny cable cords. But the main compartment isn’t big enough to carry most of the accessories on our list. And the padded chamber absorbed leaking water, which means that it could retain the stinky odors of other spilled liquids over time.

The Chiceco Handy Makeup Pouch offers better privacy than our pick from The Container Store because it’s made of 100D Oxford nylon and not micro mesh. It’s small enough to carry with one hand, and is flexible and durable enough to cram full with gear without fear of it tearing. But the zipper broke during testing, making the bag virtually impossible to use.

The Leatherology Clamshell Makeup Bag is sold in two sizes (medium and large) or as a set. Both sizes were great for splitting the storage of our tech gear and personal hygiene items. We liked that both bags have zip pockets, and the clamshell design was ideal for finding small items hiding at the bottom of the bag. But the leather was too soft, and it was easy to scratch and scuff during normal use. Leatherology allows only a 30-day return window and only for unused gear, which isn’t ideal for a product that costs $85 to $180. The company also doesn’t offer a warranty, but a spokesperson said, “[W]e stand behind our products and take care of our customers.” Yet we called the customer service line twice and never spoke with a live person (once, we stayed on hold for 30 minutes before giving up and ending the call). Note: As of January 2020, Leatherology now offers a one-year limited warranty against defects in materials or craftsmanship, but we still prefer the quality, style, and look of our Cuyana picks.

Toiletry bags

2020 testing:

After two years of testing, we dropped the Dsptch Dopp Kit as a pick. Originally, we liked that its design worked for carrying both cables and lotions because the main compartment had three wide elastic loops that comfortably fit bulky toiletries (like sunscreen) and tech accessories (like charging bricks) beside each other. But the main compartment can’t fully unzip, so it’s harder to peer into and harder for larger hands to dig inside. Similarly, the side compartment’s padded valet tray takes up valuable space, and when the tray was in place, we had trouble quickly grabbing an item from that section without fully unzipping the bag.

2018 testing:

The Herschel Supply Co. Chapter Travel Kit measures 18 by 4½ by 6 inches, so it holds our essentials with plenty of room to spare. But its large size also means it was way too big to carry each day. This Dopp kit also isn’t waterproof.

Traditional cable organizers

The Aer Cable Kit was a previous pick, but it has been discontinued. We reviewed its successor, the Aer Cable Kit 2 , which isn’t as practical as our Incase pick. The Aer Cable Kit 2 has redesigned pockets and loops, but the storage compartments are less useful in this iteration because they’re more uniform, which means it’s harder to find a spot for odd-shaped gear. And the main compartment is lined in a fleece-like material that’s not very soft.

We don’t like the Bellroy Tech Kit because the metal zipper is sticky, the storage compartments aren’t ideal for smaller pieces like USB flash drives and earbuds, and the pockets aren’t taut or zippable, so items can easily fall out in transit.

The Dagne Dover Arlo Tech Pouch (large) is a good size if you regularly carry large tech accessories such as a charging brick or docking station, but for most commuters, it’s too big and ungainly. It’s difficult for people with small hands to carry in one hand, it doesn’t rest flat along the spine when open, and the chunky plastic zipper is stiff and hard to maneuver.

The Knomo Thames Knomad Organizer is slim enough to stash inside a briefcase, but its wide design makes it harder to carry in one hand while you’re juggling gear as you dash from conference room to conference room. And although it’s made of water-resistant polyurethane, the material is slightly rough, not as refined as the material in our other picks.

2019 testing:

The Bond Travel Gear Escapade Pouch has a rough nylon exterior, inconsistent stitching quality, and zippers that catch, making it hard to open and close.

Eagle Creek Etool Organizer Pro lacks a microfiber lining and padding to protect delicate objects, and there’s limited space to secure smaller items, like thumb drives. Water also leaks through the zippers.

The Native Union Stow Accessory Organizer ’s leather exterior shows wear and tear easily, and the zippers are difficult to use.

The Peak Design Tech Pouch opens like an accordian-style file folder, so gear won’t fall out when you open it. But this was the hardest bag to open that we tested, as the zipper frequently got stuck on the thick piping that was designed to prevent leaks.

The Tom Bihn Snake Charmer is an upright bag with dual mesh compartments (like a dopp kit). But it's surprisingly bulky (up to 5 inches deep), and it’s also not waterproof, so tech gear won’t survive a soda spill. For non-water-resistant options, we prefer our Vaultz Mesh Storage Bags because they’re sold in a pack of four for just $8 at the time of writing, are modular and big enough for larger cables, and pack down flat for easy storage.

The Welden Nylon Accessory Organizer is well-made and stylish, featuring a modern hexagonal weave pattern on the exterior that’s sure to attract attention. But its small size (4.7 by 7.78 by 2.75 inches) has limited storage space, which won’t work for most people commuting with all of their gear. It’s also pricey ($80 at the time of writing), and we think our luxe pick, the Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set , is a better deal (currently two bags for $110).

Leatherology Small Tech Bag Organizer has three elastic loops, but the loops loosened after just a couple of uses. The bag is made of soft full-grain leather, which scratches easier than what we would like from a $65 bag. (You can upgrade to the firm, full-grain German leather bag for $100.) This bag is also subject to Leatherology’s limited 30-day return window (described above).

Both Bagsmart bags we looked at have plenty of loops and slots for our gear, but it felt weird putting toiletries in such a techie-looking pouch. Model Travel Universal Cable Organizer (BM0200044B001) wasn’t waterproof. And though the  Thicken Cable Organizer (BM0200064A001)  model did repel water, its inside wasn’t very durable and got scuffed up by our bulky laptop cable.

Our packing cube pick, the Eagle Creek Pack It Quarter Cube (extra-small) was too flimsy to hold our gear.

The Hynes Eagle Travel Accessories Organizer was too small to hold even half the gear on our list. The floral pattern on the bag was grainy and looked cheap. The bag also wasn’t waterproof.

The Power Packer is durable, looks nice, and is big enough to store bulky cables, external power packs, and travel adapters. Although that’s exactly what it’s designed to carry, most of our testers found it big for everyday use. And the knitted fabric accents absorbed and leaked water to other sections of the bag.

The Skooba Design Cable Stable DLX that we recommend in our guide The Best Gear for Travel is, at 12 by 9 inches (compared with the 9½ by 6 inches of the Incase), a bit too big to take with you daily, and its smaller sibling the Skooba Cable Stable Mini lacks internal zippered pockets for keeping small items like SD cards in check.

Our former budget pick from that same guide, the AmazonBasics Universal Travel Case , has a hard shell that makes it awkward to fit in some bags and less accommodating to big and small loads, and its internal pockets are loose and prone to objects moving around in transit.

These days, savvy adventurers take much more than sunscreen and a passport when traveling. To stay connected while you are away, cell phones, tablets, and even laptops are becoming must-have accessories for travelers. Travel cameras are also becoming a part of an essential traveler’s kit. This means lots of cables and accessories to keep organized.

Keeping your electronics safe and organized makes it much easier to carry these items with you, and for this reason, a well-designed organizer is worth its weight in gold.

What To Look for in an Electronic Travel Organizer

Before you invest in an organizer for your electronics, consider the following:

The organizer you choose should be a useful addition to your luggage. If it is bulky, heavy, or simply unsuitable, forget about it. The more gear you have, the larger the organizer you will need. While not particularly heavy on their own, organizers stuffed full of devices, chargers, and other accessories can weigh your travel backpack down before you’ve even left for your trip.

Bottom Line: Choose an organizer that is large enough to carry everything you need, but not so big that it has wasted space in it.

Designed with one job in mind, to keep your gear organized while you travel, the number of pockets and compartments your organizer offers should align with the amount of equipment you need to carry.

Most of the better electronics organizers will have a decent amount of pockets, slings, and holders that are designed to carry SD cards, cables, batteries, adapters , headphones , and other necessities, and may even have dedicated spaces for your passport or boarding cards, too.

Bottom Line: While pockets are essential, you shouldn’t have so many that you can’t shut the organizer, or make it so bulky that it won’t fit in your travel backpack. Take only what you need with you, and find an organizer that will keep it safe and tidy.

You would choose a new backpack or suitcase with longevity in mind, so you should apply the same rigorous standards when looking for an electronic travel organizer. Organizers come in a variety of materials, including canvas, leather, nylon, and even plastic, and it’s your choice as to which one you prefer.

Bottom Line: Choose a material that has water-resistant qualities to keep your gear protected from spills or bad weather, and that is strong enough to avoid rips or tears, but lightweight enough to not weigh you down.

The Best Travel Tech Organizers to Keep Cords Neat and Tidy

By Kelsey Glennon

All products featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

It’s on every packing list , though we hardly need to write it down to remember it: a smartphone. Few of us travel without one these days, and more often than not, our technology haul extends beyond just a phone; a tablet or e-reader, digital camera, laptop, portable charger, and wireless headphones may be on the list, too. Whether you’re working remotely or not, chances are you’re bringing your entire digital setup with you. But throwing a tangle of cords and technology in your carry-on is a recipe for frustration when you find your face pressed up against the tray table, blindly searching for a charging cable in your under-seat bag.

Where there’s a digital device, there are its accessories, and tech organizers keep them tidy and easy to find while you’re in transit. If you like the organization of a toiletry bag for your body and skincare, why not a tech bag for your digital gear?

Travel tech organizers come in many different designs. There are hard-shell, soft-shell, folio, and roll-up varieties that are designed with different layers of pouches, elastics, zippers, and pockets. In my own experience, simple designs come out on top. Look for adjustable straps and pockets that will grow with you and your tech gear.

Everyone's needs are slightly different for their own digital Dopp kit, so you'll want to first take stock of your essentials. Lay all your gear out on a table to help determine what kind of bag will fit your tech travel setup. Then, read on for our most-recommended travel tech organizers.

• Best budget pick: Travelon tech accessory organizer

Best overall

Parker Clay’s bags are made of fine Ethiopian leather and abide by the highest standards of ethical manufacturing and sustainable sourcing. The leather goods brand partners with Ellilta Women at Risk (EWAR), to hire and train at-risk women in craftsmanship. Its bags are not only made sustainably (read more about the brand's leather production and sourcing here ), they’re also well-designed and timeless in their construction. The Guzo Utility Pouch is a chameleon of travel bags: Use it as a slim tech pouch that you can slide into any tote , or transform it into a handy clutch you bring to a cafe or out to dinner.

Standout features: A sleeve slips over your palm to make this bag cup into your hand, so it doesn’t slip out of your grasp while you hold it.

What we love most: It can transform into a chic clutch by night if you’re trying to pack a tight capsule wardrobe .

Dimensions: 10"L x .25"W x 7"H

Best budget pick

Tech organizers don’t have to be complicated, they just need to be easy to find in your bag when you need them. The Travelon tech accessory organizer in the color lime pops, and is easy to spot quickly, even in the dark. The roll-up design makes it compact and malleable in any bag. Made of ripstop fabric, the water- and stain-resistant exterior would also hold up on backpacking or outdoor trips if you’re stuffing it in a jam-packed hiking pack .

Standout features: The flexible roll-up design makes this ideal for tucking into empty corners of any backpack or bag.

What we love most: Malleable yet tough ripstop construction 

Dimensions : 6.5"L x 1"W x 5"H

Best for remote workers

If you’re a digital nomad , chances are your laptop goes with you everywhere, which means chargers and accessories are a must-carry too. This Mosiso laptop bag cuts down on the number of bags and cases you need: It’s a shoulder bag, cushioned laptop sleeve, and tech organizer all in one. Available in standard 13" and 16" sizes that fit most laptops, the Mosiso keeps your laptop in a cushy cocoon with 360-degree padding. On the outside, tuck all of your laptop accessories into soft zippered pouches. Big enough to hold external hard drives and battery packs, you won’t forget them when they’re attached to your laptop.

Standout features: Keep laptop accessories in the same place as your laptop to avoid fishing around for them in another bag. Carry it like a briefcase, or attach the sling strap and make it a day bag you can bike or walk with hands-free.

What we love most: A luggage sleeve that slips over your carry-on handle

Dimensions : 16.57”L x 11.81”W x 2.36”H

Best for photographers

Peak Design is known for designing with the travel photographer in mind. The Peak Design tech pouch is a padded, semi-rigid carry-all that can stand upright on its own and opens like a clam with a 270-degree zipper. Interior accordion-like compartments are designed to separate key photography gear and snug elastics hug SD cards. A pen holder keeps a stylus handy in one place. Large pockets open up for charging blocks, power banks, and hard drives. An exterior zippered pouch holds need-to-reach items without unloading the whole bag. Peak Design’s proprietary anchor system and strap transform this tech pouch into a small day bag when you need it.

Standout features: A hand sleeve that slides over your palm makes this easy to open on the go without needing a flat surface to set it on. Plus, it can accommodate bulky items like a small point-and-shoot camera, a mouse, or a battery.

What we love most: The charging cable pass-through allows you to plug in your device from the outside without taking out the cable and battery.

Dimensions: 6"L x 9.5"W x 4"H

Best for Apple users

Both a battery pack and a tech organizer, the Function 101 BentoStack Charge 8000 is a stackable hardshell case geared toward Apple loyalists. The Charge 8000 offers three ways to charge, which can be used simultaneously: a USB-C port, USB-A port, and wireless charging. Four different storage layers provide a space for everything, which includes two shallow layers for your Apple Pencil and Apple watchbands; and two deeper layers for larger items like AirPods, charging cables, and wall charging bricks. Mix and match the layers as you like, and keep it all together with a color-matched silicon band.

Standout features: Apple’s love for minimalist design makes this Japanese–inspired tech storage box blend in seamlessly with your products.

What we love most: It’s a hefty battery bank with handy attached storage, which keeps a suite of Apple accessories tidy and juiced up on the go.

Dimensions: 7.75"L x 3.75"W  x 4.6"H

Best for everyday use

This mini tech organizer from Dagne Dover might as well live in your everyday tote. The Dagne Dover Arlo tech organizer in the small version is an agile addition to your travel kit because of its nimble size—tuck it into a belt bag, travel sling , or day pack without much added bulk. Designed to keep your laptop and phone basics handy, this neoprene organizer doesn’t leave extra space for items to slip around. Everything is kept snug using elastics and mesh pockets made of recycled plastic.

Standout features: Try it in two sizes—small and large, and swap them out for shorter or longer trips.

What we love most: The small size makes this easy to add to day bags, belt bags, or slings without taking up too much space or adding bulk.

Dimensions: Small: 4.5" L x 2.25"W x 5”H; large: 8"L x 3.25"W x 5.25"H

Best colorways

Calpak’s travel tech organizer doesn’t reinvent the wheel here, but they do make it a lot more colorful and fun. This lay-flat organizer has elastics for storing rolled-up cords, and a zippered pouch perfect for USBs, hard drives, or charging bricks. The trouble won’t be figuring out how to organize your tech, it’ll be choosing from one of 16 different colorful patterns that show off your style and personality.

Standout features: A mesh pouch makes loose items easy to spot and grab quickly. Elastics and snug slip pockets keep anything from spilling out when you open it.

What we love most: The array of fun colors and classic patterns you can choose from.

Dimensions: 7"L x 9.5"W x 1.5"H

Best size options

Wandrd started as a Kickstarter designing bags for on-the-go photographers . Today, its travel bags are useful for any traveler looking for durable, gear-protecting bags backed by a lifetime guarantee. The Wandrd tech bag is offered in three different sizes which can nest together, or be bought and used separately. Built with an array of straps and grab points on the outside, you can attach these to your backpack or weekender using basic carabiners. An optional strap transforms the Wandrd tech bag into a compact sling. Earthy, neutral colors like Aegean blue, Yuma tan, and Sedona orange are fun variations to basic black, though that is offered too.

Standout features: Choose from a small, medium, or large version depending on your needs. Or, nest them together for an agile set of organizers that grows with your packing list.

What we love most: The fleece-lined zippered pouch (in the large size) keeps your iPhone cushioned and scratch-free.

Dimensions : Small: 7.75"L x 2"W 4.5"H; medium: 9"L x  3"W x 4.5"H; large:  9"L x 4"W x 5.5"H

Best water-resistant case

This semi-hardshell case from Bellroy carries just the essentials in a compact design. Available in 11 neutral colors made from recycled water-resistant woven fabric, the Bellroy is built to last and backed by a three-year warranty. A floating interior wall forms the interior pocket and closes with a satisfying magnetic click. Elastics hold dongles and other small items you may be prone to losing at the bottom of a bag.

Standout features: A firm, padded exterior give you peace of mind that your tech won’t get knocked or jostled around—essential for hard drives. Everything has a place in this organizer that keeps your accessories from moving an inch.

What we love most: The three-year warranty and water-resistant exterior

Dimensions : 5.12"L x 9.06"W x 2.8"H

Best discreet organizer

Disguised as a leather-bound book, the CaddySack tech organizer by Twelve South is great for those who like to sprawl out at the cafe but worry their AirPods might get swiped when they’re not looking. Zip up this organizer and it turns into an incognito book. Though CaddySack designs for Apple products, the interior Velcro straps aren't limiting, so whether you're packing a Mac brick, mouse, or travel outlet adapter, it'll fit right in. Suit up all your tech in a slick literary sleeve with the rest of its BookBook cases.

Standout features: A tweed interior and leather exterior give this tech organizer a polished look and feel.

What we love most: When you’re not traveling, this case looks great on an office bookshelf as an incognito way to keep cords together at home.

Dimensions : 5.7"L x 1.6"W x 8"H

The Parker Clay Olivia organizer is thoughtfully designed in partnership with HGTV interior designer Sabrina Soto . Design and organization go hand-in-hand and it shows in this full-grain leather bag’s accordion construction. It separates little bits and bobs and offers quick access to everything at a glance. You don’t need two hands to unzip, unlatch, or pull open a pocket—a smart feature for hurried travelers. Grab a few of the six neutral colors and use them for toiletries, makeup, and your tech.

Standout features: Durable leather construction allows it to stand up on its own

What we love most: Details like a brass zipper pair well with full-grain leather that will age nicely with time.

Dimensions : 8.5"L x 3"W x 6"H

Love all of these options!! I’ll definitely be trying one for my next trip!

Great recommendations! I’ve used the ebags cord cube for several years now and it’s holding up really well!

Great info. Thanx for all your suggestions

I travel for work and some of these are great ideas for compact storage at really inexpensive prices.

Love your articles… always so very informative and helpful!!!

I have been following this column for the last few years . I’m a 74 year old traveler who loves current information and suggestions.

Please don’t forget about those of us who are of the older generation with a desire to travel with ease. My sense of wonder creates my next trip. Your excellent information helps. Thank you, Lynne

That Newvanga travel adaptor is such a great idea. Those universal adaptors take up so much space when traveling to a variety of countries.

I was looking for a more organized way to store the multiple cables and cords for my electronics. Great options! I have used the Nite Ite twist ties for a long time. I always go back to them after trying what comes with the device.

Both my son in law and I travel for work. So excited for options for myself and a gift. Thanks!

Crazy how much space chargers & cords can take! I’m glad Apple has to go to usb c so that it will save me one more cord!

The Avantree Velcro is amazing! My husband loves it!

Great suggestions! I used the Tophone headphone organizer until I got my airpods. I need to become more organized with this stuff when I travel!

I have gotten so many great tips from your blog…Thank you! I’m a big fan of your compass rose packing cubes!

I got my cord organizer on Temu really inexpensively. I also really recommend this travel adapter from Amazon: https://a.co/d/39iSuZg

I have one from Travelon that is great. It’s more of a flat style which works well. I also like the idea of twist ties to keep cords more organized. Great article with great options!

So very helpful! Smart ideas to get and stay organized!

So many smart choices to get organized! I appreciate the insightful advice to help me get ( and stay) organized!

I have many of the items mentioned 🤦‍♀️. Prefer to carry electronics cords and stuff in a clear bag so can see items. LOVE the TFG universal adapter and take it on EVERY trip.

I have the BAGSMART cord organizer. It works well for me and matches the three other BAGSMART products I own.

This makes me realize I need this At home not just when traveling! Plus maybe I can hide my cords from my daughter who seems to run off with them! I have a carryon backpack but love the portability of these cases.

Fantastic options for managing cords/cables. I look forward to purchasing one for my next adventure.

I really like the different options for cable storage. I usually take 4-5 cables and was looking for a durable bag for storage.

You always have vey helpful articles for traveling light and less stressful. Thank you, you’re doing an excellent job!

This is perfect! Was looking for something for my husband to contain his camera and phone cables in one place. *adding to cart!

My favorite it the Bagsmart. It has room for all the cords, chargers and more! Great recommendation.

I use the retractable multi cord my engineer brother gave me and a zipper mesh bag. I don’t usually bring a laptop since I retired

I just got the Bagsmart case for all my cords and whatnot. I didn’t think I had that many cords and plugs, but this makes things better organized and I know where everything is right away so I’m not digging endlessly through my bag.

Great ideas! I have a tech cord holder similar to the BAGSMART version. I like how they are so much more compact than even a few years ago. I will try the velcro cord ties. Thanks!

Aaaah! Thank you for the great ideas! Managing the ‘Octo-mess’ of charges and cords drives me nuts! I am definitely investing in some of these products!

Great article!

So it’s this easy to tame my cord nightmare. I’m purchasing before my next trip to avoid the detangling chore I always face.

These all look amazing.

The travel organizers are amazing. It definitely helped when we were in France.

Thank you for creating this list, I’ve been searching for the perfect organizer as I typically put all my cords in one bag and it can be a tangled mess!

Fabulous article

Ok, I’ll take the plunge. Too many cords. What a mess.

Very helpful! I am always trying to find the best way to keep cords organized.

i really like the idea of the mesh bags as organizers. seems like it might be more compact/flexible than the others. the twist ties ones also look cool!

i also like the multi-charge, retractable cables. chargers for everyone!

I appreciate TFG has pulled together this great list of cord organizers! We’ve used 3 of these ideas to streamline and organize our device cords. Thanks for another useful solution!

My husband and I each have the HESTECH bag and love them. His is black and mine is pink.

This is great! Electronics and their cords have always been quite a challenge! I love the options you presented…and off I go to implement these tips also! Finally winning the war with electronic clutter!!!

Thanks for reading Deborah! Glad we could help!

I have enjoyed my travel cord organizer.! Thanks for another good tip!

Wish I had seen this article when I was on the road. Some excellent ideas on making you load just a little lighter; which is always nice.

Thanks Dale!

This is great! 100% going to purchase these got my upcoming trip

So worth it!

Taming my mass of cords has been on my list of travel tasks for a while now. If I had known there were so many great options I wouldn’t have waited this long to tackle the problem.

Me too! I only realized this the other day when I walked into Office Depot – good thing!

I use the Velcro straps on cords at home all the time. This was a great post to remind me that there are options out there for traveling that I wouldn’t have thought about.

Very helpful!

You know the drill: No matter how neatly you fold up your earbuds, their cords somehow transform into a labyrinth-like puzzle by the time you need to retrieve them. This is where the best travel cord organizers come in handy, organizing everything from earbuds to laptop chargers, wherever you might be headed. A good cable organizer will not only keep your cords from becoming an inconvenient jumbled mess but also keep them safe and secure. Many travel cord organizers can even protect your cords from water damage.

When looking for the ultimate cord organizer, the primary thing to consider is your specific travel routine. Do you fly frequently, with various cords in your carry-on bag ? A larger organizer, maybe even one with extra pockets for small gadgets, would be helpful. Or, do you just have a few tech accessories — say, a laptop charger and a pair of headphones — getting in your way at work, or that you want to safely store in your commuter backpack ? If so, there are simple, clever solutions like travel-friendly cable clips and ties that can make a world of difference on your desk and in your bag.

The best travel organizers will keep all your cords, earbuds, and chargers neatly tucked away yet easy to access when you need them.

A Multi-Functional, Water-Repellant Cable Case With Tons Of Pockets

This durable yet lightweight cord organizer opens up to a single-layer interior with a plethora of elastic bands, mesh pockets, and zippered pockets, giving you space for cords, memory cards, small gadgets, cell phones, earbuds, and whatever else you need to neatly put away. It has a heavy-duty nylon exterior, keeping your electronics safe from spills, leaks, and bad weather.

Promising Amazon review : “Great product. Before I bought this I had cables all over the house and me and my husband were always looking for the cables without being able to easily find them. Now that they are all in this case we can find them easily and stress less. Especially nice if you are traveling. Nice and compact but lots of space for many cables. Highly recommend”

A Durable Travel Cord Organizer That Fits In The Palm Of Your Hand

This wallet-sized organizer has a zippered mesh pocket to store earbuds, USB cables, and memory cards, as well as a separate compartment with a large elastic strap, ideal for a power bank or other device. When zippered close, this case was designed to take a beating and keep your electronics safe, thanks to its shock-proof EVA shell. It also protects against water, sweat, and other spills. Choose among 10 colors.

Promising Amazon review : “Perfect size to store a portable charger, a usb cord, air-buds - everything I need in case my phone needs a charge. Also use this for travel (I even keep the charging cube in this case) to keep everything together. It’s a great size, fits in my purse. The zipper is sturdy. I plan to buy more as gifts for my kids who travel.”

A Compact Travel Cord Organizer That’s Surprisingly Roomy

• Also available on BAGSMART , $25

This cable organizer bag is relatively compact in size and weighs just 0.24 pound, but the interior is roomy enough to neatly store all your electronics. It features several elastic loops for cables; two loops for larger devices, like a mouse or phone bank; and both elasticized and zippered mesh compartments. The exterior is made of water-resistant nylon, which is padded to keep your electronics safe from jostling inside your bag.

Promising Amazon review : “I travel quite a bit, and have tried a variety of cable organizers. This one is just right for me, with room for all cables, chargers, and a battery. And it is compact and fits in my backpack.”

A Foldable Charger Cord Holder That Locks Everything In Place

If you’re looking for maximum storage but minimum bulk, look no further than this heavy-duty nylon cable bag . It’s versatile, protective, and reasonably priced. When open, it expands to roughly 9 by 8 inches, with an assortment of elastic bands, mesh pockets, and zippered mesh pockets to keep all your cords, memory cards, and small gadgets in place. Then, it rolls up neatly and fastens shut, allowing you to stash it in your purse or backpack. With a 4.6-star rating on Amazon and more than 2,300 customer ratings and reviews, this is one cord organizer that makes it way easier to travel with your fave tech.

Promising Amazon review : “Bought this to take all needed cords and plugs when we travel. Everything fits in there neatly so nothing gets tangled or mixed up. Folds up so it stores nicely in my backpack or carry on if we are flying.”

These Reusable Cable Ties That Reviewers Swear By

If you’re looking for a simple, no-fuss solution to your tangle-prone cords, consider these cord ties . They feature a hook-and-loop design that makes them super easy to reuse. And with a 4.6-star overall rating amassed through over 13,400 ratings, they’re a fan-favorite. The order comes with 20 multicolored ties in three sizes (varying in both length and width), so you can roll thinner wires, like earphone cables, into tidy, packable packages; as well as get a handle on thicker cords or bundles.

Promising Amazon review : “These are very easy to use and you can’t lose them or break them like rubber bands. Just attach one end to the cord and it is always there when needed. Just took a trip and I have 5 cords that I take for charging my electronics. Used the smallest Tie and it saved time searching for the rubber bands that always somehow get lost. Take up practically no room.”

A Weighted Desktop Organizer That Keeps Cables In Place

This weighted desktop cord organizer is ideal for use on tabletops, desktops, and nightstands to keep your various laptop and other tech cords in check. Its rubber design prevents cords from falling to the floor, which means you’ll never again have to crawl under your home or hotel desk to retrieve a fallen charger. And unlike similar desktop cable organizers, it doesn’t have any adhesive — instead, the weighted bottom keeps it in place. It includes four slots for your smartphone charging cables, USB printer cords, twisted headphone cords, and other wires.

Promising Amazon review : “Completely solved my bed-side cable problems. All cables now stay put neatly and conveniently on my bedside table. I especially like the fact that I don't have to stick it down permanently. This way I can change its location as needed or take it with me when traveling.”

A Strappy Travel Organizer For Cords & Chargers

This electronics organizer measures about 12 by 8 inches, making it the ideal size to slip into a backpack, briefcase, or large tote. Its criss-cross design of rubber elastic bands allows you to safely strap down countless cords, as well as small devices and writing utensils. That means you now have a place to securely store everything from your go-to tube of lipstick to your phone. And since the elastic straps have good grip, your cords and gadgets aren’t going anywhere. It also has a large, zippered pocket on the back for documents, tablets and small notebooks.

Promising Amazon review : “I’m a technician and I travel a lot through the country. I have the tendency of carrying more than what I need, afraid of not being prepared if the worst happens. For a very long time, I've been needing something to organize all the cables, USBs, and other stuff that I carry in my backpack. This organizer has cleared a lot of space and my bag doesn’t feel as heavy as before because it uses space inside my bag evenly. I’m so happy with this product!”

An Oprah-Approved Travel Cord Organizer That Folds Into A Stylish Clutch

This travel cord roll is the perfect blend of style and utility. It holds eight cords, two plugs, and a few more various knick knacks (like earbuds, adapters, and writing utensils) safely with a combination of straps and pockets. The compact storage unit then rolls up into its clutch form that can be tied securely closed with a thin cord. Best of all, it’s made entirely out of vegan leather and comes in multiple colors. Even Oprah is a fan !

Promising Amazon review : “I love this product! Presently traveling and it is making my life much easier! Seems strong and durable so far and is easy to find in my backpack. Love it!”

The 7 Very Best Cable Organizers

In this article

• Best overall
• Best cable ties

Best cable-organizer bag

• Best zip ties
• Best cable clips
• Best-looking

Best cable rack

• Best desk skirt

Every time I get my desk situated the way I like, another gadget comes into my life — a hazard of the job — and mucks up my neatly arranged cables, turning them into a tangled mess of spaghetti. There are many options for cable management, including Velcro straps that wrap around your cords to keep them bundled, bins that you drop your cords into that keep them out of sight, or clips that make your charging and syncing cables tidy but still easy to reach. Over the years, I’ve tried nearly every method of cable management and finally landed on a solution that works for me. Everyone’s setup is different, so it’s important to consider things like whether you need to frequently mess with your cables, or whether you want them completely invisible or just neater so your desk doesn’t look like an octopus has taken up residence there.

To find the best ones available, I reflected on the methods that have worked for me, and looked to advice from tech specialists and writers about the cable organizers they recommend.

What we’re looking for

Before you can wrangle your cables into order, you’ll need to pick the best tools for your situation. Options like straightforward Velcro strips or zip ties can bunch together unruly cables without breaking the bank, or you can snag something a little fancier like a set of clips to keep important cables handy under your desk, or a cable bag to keep everything tidy while you’re traveling. You can also get a rack to mount under your desk or other furniture to hide cables that might clash with your room’s whole vibe — though with these, you may still want to use Velcro or zip ties to keep the cords tidy.

I recommend organizing cables by the devices they connect to. Television cables should go together, for example, while the ones for your audio gear should go into a separate bundle.

Some organizers work for only single cables or even single specific-size cables, while others can be adjusted to accommodate multiple cables of various sizes.

Portability

Organizers that are attached (whether by adhesive, clamps, or some other mounting method) are meant to be stationary, while ties and bags are great for travel or home use.

Reusability

Traditional zip ties and clips that attach using adhesive can realistically only be used once (and if you’re concerned about the adhesive damaging the surface you want to use, you may want to consider an alternative). Some desk-mounted organizers, including two listed below, require you to drill holes to attach the rack or organizer permanently. Velcro, wire ties, and, of course, bags are meant to be reused.

Best cable organizer overall

Type: Velcro tie | Capacity: Multiple cables, adjustable | Portability : Portable | Reusability : Reusable

I tend to reorganize my setup a lot — especially when I’m testing new gadgets — so I need something impermanent and flexible. These Velcro ties fit the bill, and I’ve been using them in conjunction with a cable tray (more on that below) to keep things neat, tidy, and out of sight.

They’re adjustable and reusable, eight inches long and half an inch wide, and can fit a variety of different-size cables. One tie can easily hold three USB-C cables or a combination of a USB-C cable and an HDMI or an ethernet cable. They also have a sliding design, which allows you to tighten them very easily. This pack of 100 ties can be used in different spaces all around your home, from your home-theater setup to your nightstand.

Best cable ties for your nightstand

Type: Steel-wire core with rubber coating | Capacity: Multiple cables, adjustable | Portability : Portable | Reusability : Reusable

Unlike our best overall pick, these ties, which come in a pack of 12, are made of rubber, which is less likely to wear over time than Velcro — if you’ve ever noticed the Velcro of your backpack or jacket gradually weakening with use or from collecting too much lint, you know the struggle.

Strategist writer Kitty Guo praises the Nite Ize ties for their flexibility, thanks to a steel-wire interior and a grippy rubber exterior, as well as the various color and length options.

Type: Bag | Capacity: Multiple cables, adjustable | Portability : Portable | Reusability : Reusable

I loathe packing my cables into a bag when I’m traveling: They never seem to stay put, and I always have to wrap them too tightly to pack them into my bag’s pockets. Cable-organizing bags give you compartments for all your cords and charging bricks and keep cables from getting tangled with everything else you’ve packed and away from items that could damage the cables.

This Ruggard cable case was recommended to us by B&H senior technologist Mark Steinberg. One of the more interesting details he pointed out is the clear window that allows you to easily identify any cable you might need and minimize the amount of rooting around you’ll need to do. The case is weather resistant, and one side has 12 dedicated cable slots with elastic loops to hold cables securely. (You can store additional or larger cables in the pocket on the other side.) The Ruggard comes with six Velcro cable ties for keeping cables wrapped while in the case. And if you like the design but don’t need to carry as much, it comes in a smaller size that has six dedicated cable slots with three Velcro ties.

Best zip-tie cable organizers

Type: Plastic zip ties | Capacity: Multiple cables, adjustable | Portability : Not portable | Reusability : Single use

My setup changes too frequently for using zip ties, which can only be placed once and have to be cut to be removed. But they can be especially great for larger cables that you might have in the living room or in a basic sound-system setup that you want to just set and forget.

All of the zip ties in this pack of 100 are eight inches long, and you can trim off any extra length as needed. They come in black or clear, so you can match them to your cables if you like.

Best cable-organizer clips

Type: Self-adhesive clip | Capacity: Each clip holds one thin cable | Portability : Not portable | Reusability : Single use

I use a clip that came with an old accessory pack from years ago, but it works just like these ones from BlueLounge. This pack of nine clips, each of which holds a single cable, comes in a variety of colors that can help you decorate or organize your desk (they also come in black only). They make it easy to grab cables you attach and detach frequently.

Professional organizer Daniel Loya, the owner of Spaces Transformed , recommends these cable clips for keeping track of unruly cords that are always “slipping off your desk and out of reach.” Plus, he says, the self-adhesive backing can be easily removed.

Type: Metal tray | Capacity: Multiple cables | Portability : Portable | Reusability : Single-use adhesive

Thanks to the number of gadgets I have to test at any given time, cable management often feels like a fool’s errand. The closest I’ve gotten to a tidy cable arrangement at my desk is using this under-desk tray. I got this to replace a plastic tray that came with my standing desk. Unlike that one, which used adhesive to attach to the underside of my desk (it fell off after about two years), this one uses two clamps to stay in place. Those clamps, while more time-consuming to set up, are easier to move if you get a new desk or want to shift things around. The sides of the tray have holes that you can feed wires through, so they’re not all poking out the top of the tray, and since it’s deeper than many other trays I’ve seen, the cables aren’t visible once they’re inside.

If you’re particular about keeping things neat, a few zip ties or Velcro straps like our picks above will help maintain order while the tray keeps everything out of sight.

Best desk-skirt cable organizer

Type: Mat with pockets | Capacity: Multiple cables | Portability : Not portable | Reusability : Reusable (with screws)

While I’ve been able to keep my cables out of sight and out of mind with the Quszmd tray, something with a privacy panel will ensure that every cable is hidden away. Sean Hollister, senior news editor at the Verge , says he used to have a rat’s nest of wires under his desk, and he tried a number of cord keepers and wraps before landing on the Mount-It, which he loves for its built-in pockets to house cables. The large mesh pockets open and close with Velcro strips, so everything inside is easy to access, and cables can enter or exit the pockets in multiple directions. Hollister uses them to hide a lot of messy cables as well as his ethernet switch. You can choose between 41-inch or 60-inch widths, depending on the size of your space.

If you are traveling with multiple chargeable devices, it would be a good idea to organize all of your cables in one place. This can help you easily find and navigate a charging cable or an adapter when you quickly need something.

For me, my primary use case is photography and working remotely. I’ll often need to carry memory cards, small hard drives, charging cables, power adapters and more. And when I travel, I need a place to keep all of these things.

Browse our 5 favorite picks

• Peak Design Tech Pouch Check Availability
• Aer Slim Pouch Check Availability
• Moment MTW Tech Organizer Check Availability
• Bellroy Tech Kit Check Availability
• Travelon Tech Organizer Check Availability

Let’s check out some of my favorite choices of tech bags to keep yourself organized!

Peak Design Tech Pouch

The Peak Design Tech Pouch is one of my favorite travel assets. With this tech pouch, there are tons of sleeves and compartments that you can use to configure and organize all of your tech and cables.

I have a few lightning cables for my phone, my mouse and keyboard. I’ll bundle them together and stuff them to one side of the pouch.

I’ll keep some solid-state hard drives in another compartment. I have a case of camera memory cards that I keep in the tech pouch. And I’ll even put my mouse in the tech pouch! Everything goes in the tech pouch.

Aside from keeping everything together in one place, this works great for your travel days. If your phone is low on battery, you know where your charging cables are without having to dig through your bag. I pack the tech pouch with the carry-on, so everything is really easily accessible.

If you’re doing any type of remote work on your trip, you can bring the tech pouch with you to make sure you don’t forget any important cables or dongles.

Peak Design gear fans can leverage the anchor system and attach a camera strap to this bag. The anchor system is universal to PD gear, so you can sync around all their products with the handy anchoring system.

If you’re into carrying a small and organized pouch with you, this could be a great option. For more photos and details, I suggest checking out my Peak Design Tech Pouch review .

The Peak Design Tech Pouch is a highly-organized, efficient, and compact storage pouch designed for carrying your tech accessories. It's an excellent accessory for travelers, photographers, or anyone who carries a lot of small tech gear and wants to keep everything organized.

Peak Design Field Pouch

The Field Pouch from Peak Design works as effectively as the tech pouch, but is a bit smaller. It features a roll-top design and is a bit more versatile. You can slide this onto your belt or use it as a small shoulder bag.

I have been using my field pouch since 2017, and it’s held up great. I barely notice any major wear and tear.

The actual pouch is durable and weatherproof. The quality is great, and you can use this product in a lot of different applications during travel.

Inside, you can fit some of your smaller items, like pens, keys, small cameras or really any small valuable or important item.

I like using the field pouch for photography to keep my cleaning cloths and small parts, like tools, microphones and tripod plates organized.

Maximize your storage space with the Peak Design Field Pouch, a versatile solution for all your on-the-go needs.

Aer Slim Pouch

The Aer Slim Pouch has a minimalist footprint, but it doesn’t stop its total practicality. Inside, it offers plenty of storage for your most common tech items.

You’ll have no problem putting away headphones, a small notebook, some pens and a small mouse. All together, it can hold 1.5L.

I figured out on a trip that it fits a MacBook Air charger and a MacBook Pro charger perfectly.

You have access to a high quality pouch because it’s made from 1680D Cordura ballistic nylon and has YKK zippers. This basically means it will last you a long time, even if you’re a little rough with it.

Organize your essentials in style with the Aer Slim Pouch, a minimalist's dream companion.

Aer Split Kit

The Aer Split Kit has a really minimalist footprint, especially when compared to the Aer Slim Pouch.

It can only hold about 0.4L, so it’s going to be the smallest tech bag on this list. Don’t let the size stop you, though. It’s expandable when you zipper the bottom and makes a nice sized compartment for your smaller items, like a mouse, small notebook or your charging cables.

You still have the side (or top?) compartment that’s always going to be great for pens or something low profile.

Keep your things neat with the Aer Split Kit, a must-have for any traveler

And if you’re looking for something a little smaller, check out the Aer Split Kit .

Moment MTW Tech Organizer

The Moment Tech Organizer Mini is what I think about when I want to organize my cables and chargers. It has everything you need and is affordable.

It’s designed to contain your slimmer and low profile items, as the pouch itself isn’t very deep, like some of the other options. That shouldn’t turn you away, because it makes a perfect solution to organize your charging station. And it’s designed to fit inside of the MTW Tech Organizer as well.

After you’ve organized your low profile items, you’re ready to check out the Moment MTW Tech Organizer . The (non mini) MTW Tech Organizer has a lot of great features, like zipper compartments inside and stretch pockets. It sits upright, so it’s great to have on your desk and easily pick out some of your essential items.

Warehouse returns are now on sale at 15% off (never used, just open box!); plus, get free shipping on US orders over $98.

The Moment MTW Tech Organizer helps keep your digital devices and accessories secure and organized, perfect for the modern traveller.

Bellroy Tech Kit

Bellroy makes quality products and that’s why the Tech Kit originally caught my eye.

The size is optimized to take with you on any type of trip. It can be going to work every day or taking a few cords and cables with you on a longer trip. It should accommodate lots of options for you.

What’s nice is that when you open it, the Tech Kit lays flat. This is perfect to allow you to quickly grab your most used items and not have them get lost in some stash pocket along the way.

You won’t have to worry about any bad quality. The zippers and material are all high quality.

The Bellroy travel backpack that I have balances being lightweight and high quality at the same time.

Keep your tech essentials neatly organized and within reach with the Bellroy Tech Kit, your compact solution for tech gadget storage.

And you may also want to check out the Desk Caddy for something a little smaller. It’s available on Amazon or directly on Bellroy .

Troubadour Goods Rig Case 2.0

This tech pouch comes from Troubadour , one of Becca’s favorite bag and accessory brands (you can check out her Momentum Backpack review , Ki Backpack review and Bivy Tote Backpack review ). Troubadour has continually wow-ed us with exceptional quality, chic and elevated designs and thoughtful products for the modern traveler.

The Rig Case , of course, is a fantastic addition to the Troubadour lineup. It has the same sleek design as the backpacks, handbags, totes and weekenders that we admire from Troubadour. It’s made of waterproof recycled polyester and vegan leather, qualifying as a sustainably-made product from this B-corp-certified brand.

The Rig Case is innovative because it stands upright on its own and has crease-free fabric (it’ll hold its shape even if it’s compressed in your suitcase). It has a pull-zip closure with a handle, so you could carry it from a hot desk in a coworking space to a meeting room for a presentation, if you’re traveling for work.

As for the interior of this 4-liter tech bag , it has cool hidden magnets for secure closing, a double-zipper opening, an internal divider for staying organized and strong zipper pulls. There’s even a zippered exterior pocket for an AirTag , one of our favorite travel accessories. How’s that for a great tech bag?

A Troubadour original, this tech bag stands up on its own, has an AirTag pocket, sustainable materials and and comfy carrying handle.

EVERGOODS CIVIC Access Pouch

I was really impressed by the CIVIC Access Pouch . It is one of the more expensive items on this list. It has a few features that contribute to these prices, so let’s check them out.

First, it stands up on its own when you unzip the main compartment. This is fairly unique and allows quick access to items without the hassle. It has a really neet look on the exterior.

It has a top zipper pocket, which is perfect for your stray pens, keys or any other loose items. The materials are top-notch, with weather resistant materials and quality zippers. There’s a handy red key clip that comes out of the top zipper pocket, and the zipper sleeve pocket in the inside is good for loose items that lay flat.

The shape of the entire interior is nice because I can fit something like my Macbook Pro charger in there. The zipper divider is also movable, so you can change the layout based on what you pack inside. Finally, the exterior is padded, which is not a feature you see in most tech pouches.

As a bonus, you can customize the patches and zipper pulls , so this makes a great gift for travelers!

Topo Designs Tech Case

I’m a long time fan of the bags from Topo Designs. I like the utility of their Tech Case a lot.

The tech case is going to be more like a cooler for your tech. It’s taller and boxier than most of the options on this list. It’s good to through something like a small camera or your bulkier charging bricks inside.

It has a few compartments and straps to keep your primary headphones and charging cable at the ready.

Brevite Cable Kit

The Brevite Cable Kit offers you a stylish option to store some of your smaller items, like cables, a phone, small hard drive, a mouse, AirPods and so on.

In my opinion, you choose Brevite because of the style and color options available. The cable kit has a slightly protective outer shell, so things won’t get as crushed in a pouch without any type of padding.

And for something a little smaller, you can check out the pouch that they offer.

Lastly, if you’re a photographer, the photo kit is especially useful! It has room for batteries and memory cards. It fits into other bags while protecting some of your smaller and easy to lose items.

Keep your tech accessories secure and untangled with the Brevite Cable Kit, a must-have for every digital nomad.

Keep your tech essentials neat and minimalist with the Native Union Stow Organizer, crafted with durable materials and a sleek design.

IKEA Accessory Bag

If you have an IKEA near you and are craving a hotdog or meatballs, check out what your local IKEA has in the accessory bag department.

Travel + Leisure / David Hattan

Owning a dependable suitcase is already a game changer for easeful travel, but any piece of luggage can be improved drastically with the addition of the right organizers. Travel organizers, from packing cubes to cosmetic bags, can help maximize space within your bags by neatly compartmentalizing items, preventing over-packing, and ensuring that every inch of your suitcase is utilized effectively. This not only allows you to pack more efficiently, but also helps keep your belongings easily accessible. Without organizers, even the best packed suitcase can transform into chaos after a week on the road. Meanwhile, the dedicated compartments of organizers help keep your clothes, toiletries, jewelry and more in their intended spaces no matter how many times you unpack and repack.

Since the world of travel organizers is incredibly vast, we’ve rounded up some of the best in each category, from shoe bags to innovative compression bags, to tame the unruly chaos of clothes, toiletries, and accessories. Say goodbye to the tangled mess and hello to a meticulously organized suitcase, paving the way for a journey where every item always finds its perfect place.

Best Packing Cubes

Gonex compression packing cubes.

The compression capability and high-quality construction make these packing cubes a must.

They aren’t technically waterproof.

What sets the Gonex Compression Packing Cubes apart is their ability to maximize packing efficiency beyond the standard. Their robust zippers not only make compressing the cubes a breeze but also nod at the longevity of these organizers, thanks to their durable construction and stitchwork.

Despite the non-waterproof nylon material, our tests revealed that they still repel water when a bit is splashed on the exterior. Coupled with the added protection of a suitcase, this ensures that the contents, particularly clothing, remain dry during travel.

An additional highlight is the user-friendly design, featuring convenient handles on the top of each cube. This thoughtful addition simplifies the process of grabbing the bags for both packing and unpacking, enhancing overall travel convenience. Lastly, the set's inclusivity of extra-large, large, medium, and small bags provides versatility.

The Details: 3 or 4 bags included | 17.3 x 13 x 3.54 inches (extra large), 14.5 x 10.6 x 3.54 inches (large), 11.8 x 8.9 x 3.54 inches (medium), and 9.8 x 7.5 x 3.54 inches (small) | Ripstop nylon

Best Cosmetics Bag

Béis the cosmetic case.

It’s durable, capacious, and nice to look at — plus, it has a large built-in mirror.

We feel it could benefit from interior straps to hold products down.

The Béis cosmetics case effortlessly blends reliability, style, and compact design with surprising spaciousness, making it a standout option for travel cosmetic bags. Besides an easy open and close main compartment, it has a versatile central compartment designed for brushes and smaller items that can be removed depending on your needs. The thoughtful design extends with multiple additional pockets, pouches, and discreet slots, providing designated spaces for all your beauty essentials. A large attached mirror also makes for a handy companion for on-the-go makeup application during travel.

Our own tests showed that when combined, the PU leather and hardware resulted in efficient padding that protected the case's contents from bumps and drops. Also, impressively, the bag maintained its shape and aesthetic despite the inevitable wear and tear of being on the go. Available in a spectrum of colors, this cosmetic case ranges from classic beige to navy, olive, and slate blue.

The Details: 9.5 x 4 x 7 inches | PU leather, nylon, PVC, poly | Zipper closure

Best Shoe Bag

Eneteck shoe bags.

Individual compartments keep shoes clean and organized.

It’s better for slim profile shoes like flip-flops and sneakers.

For short trips where versatile footwear is a must, Eneteck's multi-pocket shoe bag is super ideal. This breathable bag, capable of accommodating three pairs of shoes, provides individual compartments to prevent any potential dirt or scuffs, keeping your footwear in top condition and totally organized.

The outermost pocket, designed with partial mesh, adds an extra layer of functionality — perfect for storing damp flip-flops or any shoes that benefit from additional ventilation. A notable feature, per our tests , is one compartment's spacious design, tailored to accommodate larger and heavier footwear like sneakers. We love that it also includes a convenient trolley sleeve with an extra zipper pocket, providing quick and easy access to your essential items such as keys or a cellphone.

The Details: 11.8 x 8.7 x 5.5 inches | Fits 3 pairs | Twill, mesh

Best Toiletry Bag

Away large toiletry bag.

Its minimalist design is surprisingly spacious.

If you only plan on bringing a carry on you might want to consider their smaller size.

You probably already own an Away suitcase, but did you know they make travel accessories, too? One of them is this editor-loved toiletry bag with a versatile design that effortlessly accommodates all your travel essentials and more.

Zip open this minimalist travel bag, and you’ll see what sets it apart is its thoughtful interior organization, featuring a range of compartments for all your travel must-haves. The exterior pocket, strategically placed for easy access, proves handy for stowing sharp items like razors and nail clippers, while a zippered middle pouch is perfect for a toothbrush and toothpaste. The bag's grab-and-go zip functionality allows it to expand generously, offering convenient access to all your products. Inside, a clear cosmetic-type bag, a middle zipper pouch, two mesh linings mean there’s a designated space for every essential. The lightweight, water-resistant material is also a plus.

The Details: 10.2 x 3.7 x 5.9 inches | 8.8 ounces | Nylon | Water-resistant

Best Travel Document Organizer/Passport Wallet

Leatherology zip around travel wallet.

Its RFID-blocking capabilities means you’ll be safe from cyber hacking of your credit cards.

It’s larger than your typical wallet, since it also accommodates a passport.

This travel-perfect wallet by Leatherology stands out thanks to its sleek leather exterior and adaptable design, making it a great choice whether you’re headed to the airport or just running errands. Unlike typical passport wallets featuring snap closures, this one boasts a wraparound zipper instead — ensuring the secure storage of passports, credit cards, cash, and more during your journeys. Not only does it offer ample space, accommodating multiple passports, up to eight credit cards, and currency without adding bulk, but an additional exterior pocket creates convenient access to boarding passes, so you don’t have to rummage around in a moment’s notice. While its larger size can make it difficult to fit into smaller purses, you can also opt to carry it as a chic clutch or pop it into a larger bag like a backpack or tote.

The Details: 9 x 4.75 inches | Full grain leather | RFID blocking

Best Travel Tech Organizer

Calpak tech organizer.

Calpak 

Its soft design makes it easy to pack inside any bag or suitcase.

Be careful not to pack overly bulky items inside of the retention bands, or they may lose elasticity.

Who said tech organizers need to look monotonous? This one by Calpak is slim, light, and available in a multitude of colors and patterns, making it easy to spot and pluck from inside your bag when you need to reach for any tech essentials. Its clamshell design is also extremely convenient, putting all your items on display for you once you zip the organizer open. Its built-in padding and storage pockets keep your valuables snug and secure, and its soft design makes it easy to pack away without the bulk.

The top handle also makes it easy to grab and carry, and all three full-size storage pockets feature convenient pull-tab zippers, with two having front mesh fabric for easy content assessment. During tests , the two interior slip pockets proved spacious enough to accommodate a portable charging bank, and we appreciated the effectiveness of the four elastic retention bands in keeping cords separated, snug, and readily accessible. It's worth mentioning that these bands may stretch out over time, especially if used with very thick or bulky cords.

The Details: 9.5 x 7 x 1.5 inches | 0.25 pounds | Polyester, polyethylene

Best Travel Jewelry Organizer

Cuyana travel jewelry case.

The small, attractive organizer is the perfect size for a shorter getaway.

We wish there were specific latches for necklaces and bracelets.

This deceptively spacious case by Cuyana fits more than it leads on to at first glance, which is why we gave it the top spot on our list of the best travel jewelry organizers . The attractive oval-shaped design is far from bulky, helping it to easily fit inside our carry-on bag and keep our favorite jewelry safe during our travels. It’s a great pick for minimalist jewelry wearers considering it is still on the smaller side, but it has plenty of room inside its soft, padded interior for rings, earrings, and more. Slip pockets on each side of the case could be a great fit for jewelry or small watches, but run the risk of getting tangled since there aren’t specific latches to hold them tight.

The Details: 5 in. x 3.5 x 1.25 inches | Italian leather

Travel + Leisure / Joy Kim

Best Travel Pouches

Mark & graham fillmore vegan diamond travel pouch.

Mark & Graham

Besides these handy pouches, Mark & Graham has an entire matching travel system available to build from.

It can be tough to fit into slimmer profile bags.

If you despise rummaging around the deep well of a storage pouch looking for your items, you’ll love the unusual diamond-style zipper of this one by Mark & Graham, which came out on top of our list of best travel pouches . It allows the bag to lay out nearly flat, providing you with easy visual access to everything you have packed inside. The smooth vegan leather and shape of the bag also makes it very attractive, looking good in or out of your luggage. The pouch comes in several water- and sun-resistant hues, and we love that the brand has an entire travel pouch collection, from small structured options to larger travel organizers and flat pack styles.

The Details: 3.5 x 8.5 x 3.5 inches | Vegan leather

Best Vacuum Compression Storage Bags

Vmstr vacuum storage bags.

These bags come with a convenient USB-compatible electric pump.

Larger-sized bags will take a while to fully compress.

Compression storage bags are perfect for longer trips, or making an entire week’s worth of clothing fit in a small rolling suitcase. These VSTR Travel Vacuum Storage Bags are a must for compression and available in a range of sizes, from small to extra large, depending on your packing needs. This versatility allows you to efficiently pack different clothing items, from swimsuits for a beach getaway to thick coats for snowy destinations, without wasting valuable space. Through our tests , we found the larger bags conveniently fit into standard wheeled carry-ons, while the compact sizes easily slide into backpacks, totes, or other travel bags. We love that these bags come with a lifetime guarantee, and that each has a dual-zipper seal that provides an extra layer of protection, ensuring the bags remain securely closed and compressed during your travels. With the electric pump, you'll experience less effort compared to using hand-pump compression bags, and the convenience of a travel-friendly USB vacuum means you're not limited to using a wall socket.

The Details: Vacuum compression | 8 bags (2 small, 2 medium, 2 large, 2 extra-large) | 11 x 8.6 (small); 12.6 x 10 (medium); 14.1 x 12.6 (large); 17.7 x 12.6 (extra-large)

Best Pill Organizer

Sukuos weekly pill organizer.

Each compartment is super roomy, and removable.

Made of rigid plastic, it can’t bend or shift to fit into all bags.

This handy pill organizer is a must-have for those on a daily regimen of medications, vitamins, or supplements. Its lightweight design is compact but still maintains generous storage space, accommodating pills of all sizes, as proven by our tests . With seven detachable containers, each a different color, labeled for the day of the week, and conveniently segmented for morning and night doses, managing your medication schedule becomes a breeze. The roomy compartments are designed to hold multiple pills with ease.

The secure snap-shut lids ensure your capsules stay in place, while the transparent plastic material provides a clear view of the contents in each section. Its practical size makes it a travel essential, fitting effortlessly into carry-on bags or luggage without sacrificing space. We also love that the smaller daily containers are portable enough to slip into your pocket.

The Details: 5.94 x 2.83 x 2.52 inches | Plastic | 14 compartments

Best Travel Hair Tool Organizer

Usa gear large hairstylist traveling bag.

The compartments are customizable, and it’s extremely spacious.

It’ll take up a significant amount of room in your luggage.

This hair stylist case is perfect for anyone with several heat tools and hair styling accessories they’d like to bring on the road. Made from extremely durable RipStop nylon, the case will keep your gear safe within its sturdy walls, and it includes both a hand strap and sturdy shoulder strap if you decide to carry it on its own, rather than fit it into a larger suitcase. Hook and loop dividers allow you to easily change the size of the interior pockets depending on your needs at any time, making it easy to pack in and organize anything from bulkier items like blow dryers and straighteners to grooming scissors, hair ties and more. The center divider ensures that your tools on both sides of the organizer stay in their place, rather than banging into each other while you make your way from point A to point B.

The Details: 16 x 13 x 6.5 inches | RipStop nylon

Best Briefcase Insert

Leatherology bag insert.

Leatherology

It’s versatile and helps organize the contents of almost any briefcase or tote bag.

Check the dimensions before purchase to make sure it will fit within your briefcase.

If you’re looking to add structure and organization to your briefcase or tote bag, this bag insert by Leatherology will definitely do the trick. We love that it’s made from water-resistant nylon, meaning it will help protect your bag from any unfortunate spills and smudges, and that it features several different types of pockets for whatever you might need to stash on the go.

Insulated pockets in the core of the organizer are great for anything you need to keep warm or cold, and it also features an easy access front pocket and mesh side pockets. If you have multiple bags you use on any given work week, use the organizer’s two handles to easily move it from one briefcase to another.

The Details: 7.9 x 11.8 x 5.9 inches | Water-resistant nylon

Best Travel Cosmetics Containers

Ries refillable travel bottles.

These reusable bottles feature airless pumps for easy use.

They’re a bit pricey.

These refillable travel bottles are stylish and durable alternatives to what you’d typically find at your local drugstore. Crafted from a recycled plastic resin that is FDA-approved and safe for skin and hair, we like that there are not only different sizes available but also several colors to pick from, such as sky blue, dark brown, or tan.

Their very own patented airless pump makes it easy and sanitary to access your products, from shampoo and conditioner to face lotion, serums, and more. This removes the need to open the container and introduce the product to potential bacteria or the threat of oxidation.

The Details: 5.3 x 1.8 for a 3.4-ounce bottle | PCR (a recycled plastic resin)

Tips for Buying Travel Organizers

Consider what you’re packing.

Before investing in travel organizers, it's essential to take a thoughtful inventory of what you own and carefully consider your packing habits. Understanding the types and sizes of items you typically carry in your luggage will help you choose organizers that best suit your needs.

Consider the variety of belongings you travel with, from clothing and accessories to gadgets and toiletries, and assess the dimensions of your luggage. This necessary evaluation ensures that the organizers you select will align with your packing style and the available space in your bags. By taking stock of your possessions and packing preferences, you can make the best decisions about the types and sizes of organizers that will maximize efficiency and keep your belongings neatly arranged during your travels.

Opt for high-quality materials

Another crucial factor that demands your consideration when it comes to travel organizers is materiality. The choice of material significantly influences the organizers' durability, weight, and flexibility. Make sure to assess your specific needs and preferences before selecting between options like lightweight fabrics for easy maneuverability, or sturdier materials if you have delicate or especially pricey belongings.

Water-resistant or waterproof materials may be essential for those venturing somewhere rainy or rugged, helping them to safeguard the contents of their luggage from unexpected weather conditions. Investing in organizers that have high-quality zippers (we’re partial to YKK), handles, and seams can provide longevity to your organizers — making them a smarter investment than those that are merely attractive or lower in price.

Prioritize additional built-in organization

Finally, before purchasing your travel organizers, make sure to assess which ones have the correct quantity and type of interior compartments and dividers for the items you need to store. All organizers are designed with purposeful compartments and pockets, but only the ones that actually have the correct built-in storage potential will enhance efficiency and accessibility during your journeys. Looking at the number of pockets and pouches on an organizer prior to purchase, and where on the organizer they are located, will help save you time and money in the long run.

Likely, yes. Travel organizers can significantly enhance your travel experience by keeping your belongings neatly arranged and easily accessible. They help prevent the frustration of rummaging through a disorganized suitcase, saving you time and effort during packing and unpacking. With dedicated compartments for various items, travel organizers not only maximize space but also contribute to a more efficient and enjoyable journey, making them a valuable addition to any traveler's toolkit.

It depends on what kind of suitcase you’re using. Pack your luggage organizers strategically to maximize their effectiveness. For example, consider placing smaller organizers within the mesh pockets or other dedicated compartments of your suitcase for easy access to essentials like toiletries or chargers. Make sure you’re packing toiletry bags in your checked luggage if they have liquids containers over 3.4 ounces. Jewelry organizers and other high value items should usually stay with you in your carry-on. For larger organizers, such as packing cubes, position them within the main compartment to keep clothing neatly organized and prevent excessive shifting during travel.

7 best cable organizers of 2024

Your phone, tablet and laptop all need a cable to charge, your smart speaker likely requires one, as well as your television and a slew of other appliances — in other words, it’s nearly impossible not to have loads of cords in your life. But just because you need a bunch of cables, doesn’t mean they have to turn into a tangled and chaotic mess. There are a number of organizing tools out there to help you keep them under control.

Not only do organized cords look nicer, a tidy space can help keep your brain from being overwhelmed by clutter, which can increase productivity and your attention span, says Jamie Hord, founder of Horderly Professional Organizing . To help you find the best cable organizers for your home, office or any other setting, we consulted experts about what to look for. Then, we gathered expert-recommended and highly rated cable organizers based on their guidance.

How we picked the best cable organizers.

After speaking with organizing experts, it became clear that there are a handful of things to consider when shopping for products to help you manage your cables and cords. Here’s what they recommended thinking about as you shop: 

• Type: There are a number of different kinds of cable organizers. If you are traveling, you may want bags with different compartments to keep phone, laptop and smartwatch chargers. If you are looking to streamline the cables behind your desk, cable ties can help you coil up long cords to keep them tidy. To cover all needs, we rounded up various types of cable organizers. 
• Aesthetic: In many cases, your cable organizers will be visible on your desk. Experts we spoke to suggest finding items you won’t mind looking at or that have a minimal footprint so they aren’t as noticeable. 
• Price: Our experts agree that you do not need to spend a lot of money on tools to streamline your cables. All the products that made our list cost less than $30. 

The best cable organizers of 2024

Gydandir leather cable straps cable ties.

Marissa Hagmeyer, co-founder and COO of the Neat Method , likes these leather cable ties because they are aesthetically pleasing and allow you to store cords that aren’t in use. Simply wrap up your cord (like a phone charging cable), then snap this leather strip around it to keep it neat and tidy. This set comes with a total of 20 ties in five different neutral shades to help accommodate all sizes of cables.  

Nite Ize Gear Ties

While the cable ties above snap closed, these are bendable wires that can be wrapped and twisted around cords to contain them. This means you can easily adjust the fit, making them as loose or tight as needed. Hord recommends these for any cables you have hanging around or to tighten cables that are plugged in but dragging on the floor. The ties have a tough rubber exterior that provides good grip and the six inch length is best for wrapping up small to medium appliance cords, according to the brand. 

Zgdyui Cable Management Box

Prevent piles of cords from accumulating and turning into a  tangled mess, by placing different cables in different compartments of this box, says Hagmeyer, who also suggests labeling each compartment so you know where each cord goes. This acrylic box has a clear lid, eight compartments and comes with eight white cable ties so you can secure your cords before placing them in the box. 

Bluelounge Cable Box Organizer

If you have a bunch of different devices in one area, a surge protector can be a safe way to prevent power spikes from damaging your gadgets. But a bunch of plugs hanging out in one area? Not so attractive. This streamlined box can hold your surge protector to make it look a little more appealing, says Hord. That way you aren’t stuck looking at a mess of cables and plugs. It is 16-inches long and made of flame retardant plastic, according to the brand. 

Wrap-It Cable Clams 

Wrap-It Cable Clams

This six-pack of cable clams are especially useful for wrapping up cords behind appliances, says Hord. Rather than having loose cords when kitchen appliances — like your toaster or blender — aren’t in use, these allow you to conceal the cords behind the gadget. They have adhesive on the back, so you stick the top part of the strip to the back of your appliance. Then, you wrap the cord up and use the strap to velcro it in place so that it is hidden out of site. 

Fyy Travel Cable Organizer Pouch 

Fyy Travel Cable Organizer Pouch

If you’re going on a trip, haphazardly throwing your cables into your bag will likely result in a jumbled mess. Instead, store them in an organizer pouch. This one is slightly larger than a phone and has ten different netted pockets for organizing cords. Each pocket can fit a cable up to three feet long, according to the brand. It zips shut to keep everything contained and comes in 15 different colors. This pouch has a 4.5-star average from over 19,100 reviews on Amazon.

OHill Cable Clips

Keep your desk organized with this pack of 16 cord holders. Stick them on the back of your desk and thread your cables through them so they aren’t jumbled on the floor. These can also be stuck to the back of an entertainment center or anywhere else you have cords. This set comes with clips that can hold one to five cords. They have a 4.4-star average from over 60,000 reviews on Amazon.

How to organize your cables

You know what to look for in cable organizing tools and have specific products that seem like they’ll fit your needs, but what’s next? According to our experts, there are a few basic steps you can take to quickly streamline your cable and cord situation. Here’s what they recommend doing: 

• Start by doing an edit:  Whether you want to clean up a bag of cables or you want to focus on a specific area (like behind your television stand or desk), the first step is to do an edit, says Hagmeyer. “Take time to go through all the cables and determine what devices they belong to,” she says. This will help you determine what you need and what you don’t. “Those whose purpose can’t be determined or any unnecessary excess of the same type of cord should be recycled at your town’s next e-waste event.”  
• Get cords off the floor: Long cords have a tendency to pool on the floor, which looks messy and can cause them to tangle easily. Instead, loop the excess length and wrap it with a rubber band or twist tie,” says Hagmeyer. Hord offers up another way to deal with long cords behind a dress, nightstand or entertainment center. Buy Command hooks and affix them to the back of your furniture, then loop the excess cord onto the hook to get it off the floor, she says.
• Contain loose cables: If you are traveling with various chargers or have a drawer at home full of cables, wrap each one individually and use a cable tie to keep it wrapped. You can even label the cable ties so you know what that cord is used for.  If you are traveling and have a pouch with compartments, stick the labels on those compartments so you never have to search for the charger or cord you need.

To make things easier for you, we’ve done some research and investigation to determine what to expect from the best cable organiser bag. And as a result, here are three factors to ponder when choosing a cable organizer for travel.

The best cord organizer for travel should be compact and easy to store. If it’s too bulky or takes up too much space, you better stay away from it. Apart from that, consider the weight. The more things you stuff into the bag, the more likely it will overwhelm you during the trip.

Organization

Next, you have to remember that the best cable organiser bag is designed for one purpose: keeping things organized as you move from place to place. So, see if the cord has enough pockets and holders for your needs. Smaller stuff like SD cards, USB drives, and adapters will probably require their own dedicated space. And some of you may prefer a bag with special compartments for passports and boarding documents.

Unless you plan to buy a new cable organizer for travel every year, make sure to buy one that’s really sturdy and durable. See if it’s made from high-standard materials. For the best bang for your buck, we recommend getting a nylon, leather, or even canvas bag.

Can I Bring Cables on a Plane?

What is The Best Cable Organizer?

This really depends on your needs. If you only intend to carry a few cables, a pouch with a couple of elastic loops will be excellent. But if you’re planning on adding a few bigger gadgets to the equation, get yourself a smart bag with adjustable dividers.

How Do You Organize Your Cords Yourself?

Well, there are a few tricks you can try. First, put a label on the end of each wire so you know exactly which one is which. Next, keep them separate with a clothespin or binder. This is a simple trick but will work great for travel.

7 Must-Have Cord Organizers to Declutter Your Space & Keep Your Cables Tangle-Free

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Messy and tangled cords create an eyesore, but they're essential for keeping our commuter gadgets and appliances powered. If you can't stand a tangled mess and don't want to continue staring at the piles of cords collected on your desk, a quick and easy fix would be to buy a cord organizer.

You don't need to sacrifice the amount of cables you own in order to keep your space organized. Cord organizers can act as a charging station , helping to condense all your cables together and declutter your space, whether it's your desk or purse.

What Is the Best Way to Organize Cords?

This will mostly depend on where you're looking to organize your cords. Travelers will want to consider a packable bad with pockets and slots to wrap cords in and keep them separated. If you're looking to organize your desk area, you'll want to consider a design that separates each cord while hiding the cables from view.

What Can I Use to Keep Cords From Tangling?

Make sure you invest in a cord organizer that divides and separates each cable. This will help keep the cords from wrapping around one another and resulting in a tangled knot you have to take time to undo. If you want a bag version, then consider the amount of cords you're looking to pack, and make sure there are enough pockets and slots to put each one in. Wrapping and securing each cord with a velcro strap will also help keep cords from getting knotted.

When is the best time to visit Moscow? | Weather, budget, events by month

• July 14, 2023

Discover when is the best time to visit Moscow. In this blog post, I will talk about weather, budget and other things to know to choose the best time when to go to Moscow for you. I cannot account the times when we went in Moscow. Here are the pros and the cons of each month taking all main criteria into account!

I will first describe the main criteria that will help you choose when to go to Moscow:

• Climate in Moscow: temperatures and weather

Special events in Moscow

• Budget and visa

Then I will talk about each season (go directly to this party if you already have an idea of ​​the desired departure date):

• Advantages and disadvantages month by month

The weather cannot be the only criterion to decide when is the best time to visit Moscow for you. Even if the temperatures drop low, Moscow in December is just magical! This is why I advise to take into account several criteria at the same time. Also remember that it takes at least a month to get the Russian visa.

When to go to Moscow: climate and weather

The seasons are well marked. The mid-season months are not necessarily the best for the weather. However, they are not necessarily to be avoided, because, as we will see later, Moscow is a city that changes all the time and the prices can be more attractive. For example, for a lot of people winter is the best time to visit Moscow.

Weather in Moscow. Moscow is inland, making the city “more protected” from changing weather. For example, the weather is much more changeable in St. Petersburg. On the other hand, the weather in Moscow is more and more scorching in summer, we can then easily reach 30 degrees (for the Russians, it’s already the heat wave).

Moscow temperatures

As soon as you think of Russia, you want to do “Brrrr”. Let’s prepare our down jackets! Indeed, the Russian climate is not the mildest on the planet. However, it all depends on the region, because the country is very large. Moscow is almost at the same latitude as Copenhagen. As Moscow is relatively far from the coast, there is a pronounced continental climate. It is hot in summer and cold in winter.

In addition, global warming is there. For several decades, annual average temperatures have always been recorded above the past. I suggest you look at the averages over the past five years to be as close as possible to reality:

Sunshine and precipitation

Sunshine. This is surprising, but there is more sunshine in Moscow than in Paris or even in Berlin: 1,731 hours in Moscow, compared to 1661 in Paris and 1626 in Berlin.

Duration of the day in winter. We had questions about the length of the day in winter. So, here are a few things. As in Europe, the shortest days are in December. In Moscow, at the end of December, the sun rises around 9 a.m. and sets around 4 p.m. Then the day gets bigger until the end of June, when the day is the longest.

Precipitation. There is more precipitation in Moscow than in Paris (705mm against 637mm).

When is the best time to visit Moscow: interesting events

Moscow is a city that moves a lot. It is even said that this city never sleeps. So there are a lot of events, forums, exhibitions, conferences. Here I’m going to talk about the main recurring events that punctuate the year and that may help you decide when to go to Moscow.

End of year celebrations in Moscow

December 31 rather than Christmas. The Russians are eagerly awaiting the holiday season. Here on December 31 is like Christmas with us. Religion, “opium of the people” according to Marx, and, above all, its official absence marked the country during the Soviet years. This then reinforced the celebration of December 31, while Orthodox Christmas is January 7.

Russian calendar. In addition, it should be known that the first week of January is a bank holiday. Many Russians therefore do not work during this period. Europe also greatly influences the habits of Muscovites. Consequently, the Christmas markets start in early December and, for some, continue until early February!

Fairytale atmosphere. If you are wondering when to go to Moscow and you love the holiday mood, then the end of December – early January, and even February, is for you! There are many things to do during this time: for example, Christmas markets, decorations, winter games, skating rinks. In 2016, Moscow opened the largest ice rink in Europe. In short, the city is doing a lot of entertainment during this period and the general atmosphere is at the top! However, everything comes at a cost. You can see more detail below in the article, month by month.

Visit Moscow in May

May 1 and 9 are two big festivals in Russia. Both dates are known worldwide. May 9 in Russia is May 8 with us in France. The signature that marks the end of the Second World War. The shift day is explained by … the difference in time zone.

The May 9 holiday is a very important holiday for the Russians. The Soviet human losses amounted to millions. So there are many families who have been directly affected by the war. The first big parade was organized by Stalin on June 24, 1945 in Red Square in Moscow. Later each year the USSR and then Russia organized a parade on May 9. Here is the video of the first parade dating from 1945 in color, then the last – that of 2016.

A disadvantage of the beginning of May. For the planned events, Red Square will not be completely empty. There are always installations for May 9, but also rehearsals. So, to the question “when is the best time to visit Moscow”, I would not say that May is the best one. You can find out more in the article “Moscow in autumn” below.

Throughout the year, the Moscow City Hall organizes free events (festivals, small markets, concerts, etc.) in the Red Square and in the streets of the city center. For example, there are two major interesting events:

• Festival of Lights “Around the World”: in 2019, it was from September 28 to October 4.
• Anniversary of the city of Moscow always celebrated the first weekend of September.

When is the best time to visit Moscow: budget, price seasonality, visa

Most touristy periods. Many travelers come to Moscow from May to October. This is the period when we see the most tourists in Moscow. In addition, many are also those who come at the end of December and at the beginning of January for the New Year. The beginning of May and the first week of January are also strongly requested, in particular by the Russians (school holidays, public holidays).

Accommodation. Hotel rates therefore necessarily increase during these periods of the year. But they do not go so far as to triple. To give an idea, count at least 80 euros in the city center for a double room with breakfast. You can read more about the districts of Moscow in my article: Where to stay in Moscow?

Guides and tours. Also take into account that during these periods it will be more difficult to find a guide at the last moment. It’s best to do it 2-3 months in advance. There will be more waiting or difficulty obtaining tickets during the months of high tourist influx: late December, early January, May, June, July, August.

Visa for Russia. The cost of the visa does not change depending on the month of the year. On the other hand, the deadlines can be longer if you make the request for the high tourist season (from May to October). Allow about a month. Getting the Russian visa is not complicated, there is a procedure to follow.

In Russia, the seasons are divided as follows:

• Fall: September, October, November.
• Winter: December, January, February.
• Spring: March, April, May.
• Summer: June, July, August.

Discover Moscow in autumn: when is the best time to visit Moscow in autumn?

From the beginning of September, we feel that the temperatures begin to drop gradually, especially at night.

Moscow in September

More and more travelers are choosing the month of September to go to Moscow. Because it is not cold yet and there are fewer tourists than in summer. Prices drop slightly, but remain higher than in the lean months of the year. There is also the city’s birthday on the first weekend in September, but also the “Around the World” festival towards the end of the month.

Moscow in October

You are likely to come across the colors of autumn from the beginning of October. The accommodation prices are starting to drop gradually. There is less waiting in the places to visit. Temperatures are not very low: during the day they are generally around +6 degrees. On the other hand, the only negative point can be the cost of plane tickets, if you leave during the French school holidays.

Moscow in November

It’s one of the least calm! Temperatures drop and can approach zero during the day in mid-November. Hotel rates are low, there are few tourists, and therefore less waiting in museums. It’s easier to get tickets for the Kremlin Palace of Armor, which can be very difficult in the summer. Guides also have more availability. So why not go to Moscow in November?

Discover Moscow in winter: when is the best time to visit Moscow in winter?

Winter is a very nice time to go to Moscow, because the Christmas and New Year decorations are installed from the beginning of December and are not removed until the end of February. To learn more about the different activities in winter, read this article: What to do in Moscow in winter? If winter temperatures scare you, check out Moscow in the spring (see below).

Moscow in december

Normally, negative daytime temperatures set in, although the weather can vary significantly from year to year. In general, from mid-December the snow is durable. It is from December 20 that more and more travelers come to Moscow. December 31st is celebrated like Christmas in France. Accommodation rates are higher from mid-December. It’s also more complicated to find a guide at the last moment. Furthermore, as in Europe, the days of December are the shortest of the year. But if you want to mark New Years Day, you will have lots of memories!

Moscow in january

January is also a very festive month. The first week of January is a public holiday in Russia. Besides, it’s also a week of Russian school holidays. There are more people in the streets, museums and everywhere in the city. To find out more about this time of year (Christmas markets, itineraries, etc.), read: Christmas and New Years in Moscow . Prices remain high during this week, but drop from mid-January.

Moscow in February

It’s the second quietest month of the year. In February, winter clearly takes its ease. The temperatures are the lowest, it’s a real winter! The days are longer in February than in December. So we’re enjoying the day more, and with the snow it’s really nice, because the weather in Moscow in February is pretty sunny. Accommodation rates are at their lowest, and the decorations are still there. So, if you are looking for when to go to Moscow, if the cold does not scare you and you appreciate the snowy landscapes, why not consider the month of February?

Discover Moscow in spring: when is the best time to visit Moscow in spring?

Spring is a contrasting period between March, which is still quite cold, and May, when we really feel the arrival of summer.

Moscow in March

The ice and snow begin to melt around mid-March. Winter is coming in March, but spring is not quite there yet. It’s the third quietest month of the year. It is therefore possible to visit the city more quietly. Accommodation prices are low, guides are available. The weather in Moscow in March is milder than in February. In addition, the days are longer, so you can take many walks.

Moscow in April

It is only from mid-April that we begin to feel the beginnings of sunny days. The weather in Moscow in spring and April in particular is getting milder and colder: we can expect +7 during the day. In addition, there are not many travelers yet and we fear to enjoy the places more quietly, but we feel that the start of the tourist season is approaching. Accommodation rates are lower than in May.

Moscow in May

The early May holidays attract many travelers to Moscow. There are also many Russians who come to the capital on public holidays. It is therefore advisable to plan visits in advance to avoid queuing once there. Red Square can be closed or partially closed for rehearsals for the May 9 parade, the same day and one or two days after. More info in: Moscow in May: events, budget, what to do?

Discover Moscow in summer: when is the best time to visit Moscow in summer?

All summer months are great, if you take temperatures into account. The weather in Moscow in summer is quite pleasant. However, in recent years, there have been great heat peaks or heat waves in July (30 degrees during the day).

Moscow in June

From June, you can take long walks in the city’s parks, very numerous and much appreciated by the locals. Boat trips are more enjoyable from June. On the other hand, the prices of accommodation in Moscow are higher than in the lean months. There are also more tourists. Book your hotel, tours and activities in advance.

Moscow in july

July is the hottest month, but we’re not on +40. Moscow is a city inland and therefore there is little fresh air, if it is very hot. We can do lots of walks to discover the city. We have written several complete itineraries so as not to miss anything of Moscow in our special Moscow travel guide. It also contains tips to save time and enjoy the city off the beaten track, as there are so many tourists during this time of year.

Moscow in August

Temperatures are starting to drop gradually, but there are still so many people. In order to be sure of the choice of accommodation, I advise you to book in advance. The same goes for guided tours or entrance tickets to the Kremlin. It’s also a good time to discover the city differently by going to places that are less touristy and more frequented by locals.

When is the best time to go to Moscow? In summary!

The best time to discover Moscow depends on the criteria you want to favor: the weather, the budget, the tranquility of the visits, the special events to be experienced on site.

In summary:

• The peak tourist season in Moscow begins in early May and ends in late September.
• Late December and early January is the best time to experience the holiday mood, but it comes at a cost.
• End of January, February, March, beginning of April, November are the quietest months of the year, when you can visit the city more calmly and on a reduced budget.
