I just read an article by The Points Guy or maybe NYT Wirecutter (can't remember) about the FYY Electronic Organizer. I haven't seen anything about electronic organizers on the Forum after conducting a search. For those of you who have an EO, does it suit your needs? If so, what brand/size works for you?
I would use it for my MacAir charger, Kindle charger, Samsung Galaxy charger, Fitbit charger and Anker power bank charger.
I have a Bagsmart EO which is very similar to the FYY (and several others on the market). It definitely suits my needs, especially since I travel with 2 iPhones (one is my wife's), an iPad, a portable charger, hearing aids, an AirFly, AirPods, and an Apple Watch. I like the fact that it holds all the relevant cables and chargers and still has a fairly small profile, which makes it perfect to carry in my Patagonia backpack.
Happy shopping!
I think it's unnecessary for most people. Realistically, you enough space to easily organize 2 power bricks and 5 USB C cables. I think these are more designed for people who are traveling with a home office setup, video editors, photographers, etc.
I carry a lot of chargers and cords, but I have found it easier to store them in smaller containers. I use the smallTom Bihn travel trays to store the plugs and electronics and the Cubelet to store the cords. That way I can tuck them away in various areas. Those organizers wind up being so big that they’re difficult to pack sometimes.
Thanks everyone. As you can see from my list I don't have that much and I certainly don't want to add more bulk to my luggage. I might actually need something to tie the cords in a loop so that they're not so unwieldy.
I bought the large size FYY this week from Amazon. (It was on sale during Prime Days.) Unfortunately, it couldn't fit everything I take. It has been returned.
I use a small firm compression cube for my electronics. (Mine is by Thule.)
I’ve got several electronics organizers that I thought were going to be “the best”. I’m with Mardee that I have gone with either the Tom Bihn small travel tray or this trip I wanted something flatter so have a small Travelon cube from TJMaxx.
I have an iPhone, Apple watch, iPad Mini, a Power Bank and this trip a UK plug adapter that has ports so i only have one small cube to plug in.
I do have the small Bihn travel tray (thanks to Mardee). They really should be called Small Bihn and Large Bihn, but. . .
I also have a small "stuffing bag" that I might use, also. I'm now trying to find the best twist tie type of thingy to keep my cords contained while in the Bihn and stuffing bag.
Thanks everyone.
I have tried all types of cable ties and now use these. I love them.
25 Pcs Silicone Cable Ties,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3CYXGVN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
They stay attached to the cable at all times. Less chance of losing them. I have them on everything from a 3 foot cable to a 10 foot cable.
Thanks Frank! I just ordered them! I appreciate it when someone has already done the testing of products for me.

Nice to have the label things as well
I put all my cords in a small packing pouch that came with a set of various sized packing cubes. Yes, they have to all snuggle together in the same bag but it's very lightweight and easy to access as needed
goanywhere and Frank II thanks for your timely posts on cable management and labels - just today I realized I need something like this as I am sorting through my travel goods for my upcoming trip. I have used the velcro cord straps before but I find they get hung up on things. Anyway, I found a set on Amazon that has Frank's silicone ties and Goanywhere's velcro labels - score! Thanks for asking this question Lindy super helpful.
The FYY Electronics Organizer looks like a good product, and it should certainly keep chargers and cords easily accessible.
I've been using a Tom Bihn Small Snake Charmer - https://www.tombihn.com/products/small-snake-charmer?variant=40995033317565 . It holds all the chargers and cables that I travel with, and has lots of room to spare. I typically pack a few cables and chargers in my carry-on, and the rest in my checked luggage. I recently bought a Power Bank and of course that will have to be in my carry-on.
Thanks, Ken. I'll check out the Tom Bihn. Can't wait to check it out.
