Is the more of a plastic, or rubber coating? Does the chord tend to stick to itself while you are trying to untangle the inevitable knots?

The coating is more slick than rubbery. I find that it's on the less tangly end of the spectrum. Also, since the left earbud cord is longer (so you can drape it behind your neck, so they stay in better, which is awesome), I use the method of wrapping the length of the cord around my hand, then wrapping the extra few inches of the left earbud cord around that bundle to keep them from getting tangled in my purse/pocket. Works pretty well.

It tangles more if you roll it up than if you fold it over several times. But yes, the leads are more of a sticky rubber than a plastic. Sticky is probably too strong of a description but definitely not slick plastic. Overall, I really like the sound of these for the low $20 range... Haven't found anything that sounds better for the price range. The worst thing is that they have a bit of memory so have a bit of curl in the leads so they might not hang perfectly straight. I like the other answer mentions baby powder... good idea. And if a bit of curl is the worst - life is good.I just noticed these are listed for $59... I've never paid more than $29 for these.

Its more rubber like, easy to untangle....Have had mine for a long time...they can get "sticky"...simply put some baby powder on the chord and they'll be good as new.

It's made of silicon rubber. My first one, both strings slowly ripped off in the same way as you describe. Not to worry, there is a fix for it. My second one has now lasted for a long time: simply move the button-spring adjuster close to the phone case (as opposed to behind your neck), so that the strings coming off the case are held close together (in a Y shape). This will keep them from being pulled away and apart from the case, which is how they got ripped off in the first place. This will make your Lanskin case last for a long long time. Overall I'm very happy with my (second) case, now that I have it in this configuration. No sign of the base of the strings ripping. All is good. It's made of silicon rubber.

I was wondering the same thing. The "rubber" look like pieces of heat shrink. The white tape is velcro.

It is just Silicone tape. You have to stretch it a lot around objects to be sealed, and it will only stick to itself. Unlike electricians tape, it bonds fantastically to itself and does not peal away with exposure. It does somewhat seal to rubber and plastic, but the stretch is the main seal, like an O ring seals.

I have not seen any signs of what you're describing but I try not to wrap the cord to tight or at least not enough to bend the rubber (that protects this joint) and put to much stress on it. Hope that helps.

I used the cord cover on a painted wall with minimal texture to keep a cord out of the reach of children. The adhesive is typical of other items -- a sticky foam pad that conforms a bit to the surface. It has held for a year, so I'd imagine the adhesive is strong. I haven't tried to remove it.

I would say it's in between. Very good quality, easy to work with and most important to anyone crafting with Paracord, it splices very good. I have never had any problems with Paracord Planet cord.

I use rubberbands. The first try using the self stick backing did not last that long. For the second try I hot glued it which was fine untill I had to open up the phantom shel l(what a mess).Yeah rubberbands.

it's a stretchy material, so if you really wanted to you could, but i don't because it could possibly scratch the plastic cover. i usually just wrap the cord up and keep it separately!

I have tried spit, gum and scotch tape; no glue, so as not to ruin the instruments. It still falls off. Not much of a pick-up. D

There is nylon rope wound tightly around the tube- not sure what the "tube" is made of but it's rigid. After the first week of play the tightly wound rope began to come loose, but it still seems to be hiding together. My grandkids really enjoy it

Yes, it's plastic, but very smooth and flexible (also swivels). To get the "curls" out, you can dunk it in hot water, and then stretch it straight and run it under cold water immediately after the hot water dunk. I do this with all my circular cords and it works really well.

The outside sheathing on the rope is flexible and fairly coarse. I have not had any problems with knots loosening. This is a utility rope, not intended for climbing, rappeling. etc. I use it mostly when working up high to apply tension to branches to direct their fall after cutting. It is a good general purpose utility rope and I have used it for many things from tree work to camping to raising light loads. As always, use the proper knot for the application. Hope this helps!

It does seem to take a long time to cure especially if you give it several coats. I used it on my guitar stand several months ago and when I remove my guitar from it, it seems to stick a bit but nothing that comes off and adheres to the guitar neck. On a lighter note, it may be good, as it keeps the instrument from being accidently knocked out of its stand. To answer your question, it seems to dry as a plastic and if you stick your finger nail into it, it is hard and does not "Indent" like rubber.

I have not had too much of a tangling problem. I have noticed the last couple of times that it tangled a little bit. I had to untwist it and lay it out straight before I could roll it back up and pit it away. The last time I used it I layed it out flat again and stayed with it for a few minutes to make sure it was feeding out ok and not twisting at its longest run. good luck with it. Hope this helps.

Yes, it's like plastic wrap. The actual tape is white, webbed and a little stiff.

Hello Ash, Thank you for your inquiry. It really is up to you, if you want to use something a little heavier depending on the project this is the Elastic Cord to use. Also it is easier to tie this one at the end into a knot. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Kind Regards, Elsie Customer Service Representative S&S Worldwide
