So I bought this and another brand

I don't like cables. They look messy and get tangled up in things and I just wish there wasn't a better way. It worked. Make no mistake, they worked. I plan on never deleting them, so anyone who does will have a mess. If I had to remove them I would try to steam them. You will destroy the walls if you pull them out. Advantages: β€’ They stick well and hide cords. β€’ Suitable for larger cables and multiple cables. β€’ They are heavy. Cons: β€’ Difficult to crop. Another brand I bought I used a razor to cut and break them - I used my dremel to cut them. Made a mess. I will not buy a saw to cut through the cable cover system. That's counterproductive. β€’ The seams are dirty. Why does the seam have to be on the inside? Her own ends weren't even straight, so getting them clean was a lot of work. I chose white tape and threw it away β€’ No instructions. I mean, I know it wasn't meant to be rocket science, but the inside had to be abandoned somewhere. Another brand I bought all snapped on the outside. No fuss, no fuss. I used white tape again to hide the seam. The corners are an outside click but not a straight seam. This is INSIDE. it's just stupid. β€’ Glue on the ENTIRE strip. From another brand I bought, I put double sided tape on the ends and down the middle, about 1 inch each. It was enough to keep them in place. The tape on them was pre-taped onto the strips. The whole strip. WHY "I pity the fool who removes them. Please God don't let it be me. β€’ I have flexible hands, so opening them was difficult. Closing them was even worse - they don't make a clicking sound, so I wasn't sure they were fully and securely closed most of the time. I can recommend it. Depends on the situation at home.

Pros
  • control cable
Cons
  • not reliable
