Not as functional as I thought
So the idea nad design seemed to be sound. I am a frequent traveller and this was intended to solve my "essentials" category when on the road. My essentials were a few adapters and dongles, minimalistic cables with the largest item being the power block for my 2017 Mac Air. Conceptually sound but in practice, this carrir is very bulky. The outer elasticity is nice but has a price that makes it morph into "all of your things" at once. I liken it to vacuum sealing a ziplock with all of your cables, albeit neatly arranged. So as you can imagine, it grabs onto everything in its path if I have to take this slimmish carrier out making it necessary to unpack more than I need to, just to get this out. Overall, I wasn't expecting the world here but I certainly expected more.I hope this helps as these are just my thoughts and opinions.

The Perfect, Forgiving Tech Pouch!
After receiving my Power Packer, I immediately dumped out the loose contents of my backpack and began stuffing this case full of my usual cables, dongles, accessories and the like. I'm impatient when it comes to testing out new products that I order! :)It took a little bit of planning to figure out where each item would live, but once I got it situated with all of my usual tech gear that I travel with, I already can't imagine not having this case with me! The build quality of this case is outstanding. The fabric, zippers, everything feels very durable and well built. Even the stretchy exterior fabric feels like it will hold up very well, and that little detail is what really makes this case forgiving when you pack it. You are not hard limited to the dimensions of the case. The exterior fabric will stretch and snuggly fit what you put in it, which provides a lot of re-usability as you may upgrade your gear over time and your required space may fluctuate.The interior organization seems very thoughtfully laid out. There are all different sizes of elastics for cords, dongles, etc. I love the small zippered section for smaller items like mini thumb drives. I was even surprised to find a semi-hidden internal pouch which runs the full length of the case, which is a perfect spot to hide away some microfiber cloths.I'm loving this case already, and it has found a permanent spot in my daily carry backpack for work and my travel bags for trips I take. Thanks, Side by Side, for making a fantastic tech organizer!

Holds all my medical supplies!
I could easily use this for the tons of chargers and cables I have, but I got this to hold all my medication pump supplies. Syringes, reservoirs, infusion sets, alcohol wipes, and protective adhesive covers - the same paraphenalia a diabetic would need to drag around "just in case." The true genious of this bag is the strechy material that expands to allow the dome-shaped infusion sets to fit in. I'm going to order another one to carry my tech stuff.

Nifty item. Well made, Can hold a lot of stuff
Nifty item. Well made and put together. I've maximized it to full capacity just to see how much it can handle. The stitching, seams and zipper as well as the elastic portions held very well. At full capacity the form factor and angles were retained. At its thickest and widest it's about the dimensions of a 20 oz Klean Kanteen bottle. About half an inch or more. The stretchy fabric allows storage for bulkier items and holds them in place while the organizer is carried by the handle or inside a bag. It goes without saying that irregularly shaped objects will deform the sides (referring to the areas with the elastic portions).The unsightly bulges and the worry that some of the items will be damaged in the long run. From being packed tightly together, made me remove infrequently used items like: the Belkin Portable Surge Protector, the magnetic charging cradle for the Samsung Gear watch, the microfiber cloth and the 15mL bottle of cleaning solution. And relegated them all in a smaller case.Inside reveals a number of slips, a fully slotted divider and pockets allowing for optimal organization. There is a dedicated pen slot on the spine of the main compartment that can hold your Apple Pencil. However, I don't want to risk my Apple Pencil so I use this for other stuff, like a regular no. 1 pencil or a pen. For reference, I carry a 23L backpack everyday. Articles I've packed into Power Packer include: 1) 5TB Seagate external hard drive; 2) Belkin SurgePlus USB Swivel Charger (10 Watts, Combined); 3) power cable for my 13 inch HP Envy laptop with adaptor; 4) cables : 2 micro and 1 type c USB charging cables, an Olight magnetic charging cable and Olight UC Magnetic USB Charger; 5) 2 Sandisk Type A to C OTG USBs, and 2 regular USB thumb drives; 5) Apple Earpods (not the Air Pods); 6) a variety of connectors for USB A to type C and micro USB to type C; 7) a microfiber cloth and a small 15mL spray bottle with screen cleaning solution and 8) Magnetic cradle/charger for my Samsung Gear 3 watch.The Power Packer is a superb product. And has achieved more than any pouch I've used before. It can compact most of your everyday necessary accessories.Without taking precious main compartment real estate in your tech or EDC bag (20L and above bags) .Just be mindful and practical of what put inside.

The only cable holder you will ever need!
I originally bought my Side by Side on kickstarter and have been using it for over a year. As a frequent traveler, I am constantly looking for the best products that will make my life easier and this is it. My side by side holds a Rav 6 USB holder on one side, which is great for both 110/240V and can charge all my devices at once. The other side is... amazing. It holds a fitbit charger, multiple lightning cables, microUSB, fitbit charger, foreo charger, USB sticks, and more. I can leave this holder packed at all times and just move it from bag to bag quickly without worrying about if my items are going to fall out. It's one of the best travel items I own. I love it so much that I just rebought one for my brother to make his travel easier. Just do yourself a favor and buy this product!

Especially good for a back pack
I like this a lot, and am surprised at how much I can fit in without it giving any sign of being “stressed”. It’s shape lends itself to staying upright in my back pack which means I can easily slip it in/out without it being underneath other items. The handle on the top makes this even easier.Not the cheapest, but the design and quality of materials (and build) are very good - I expect this to last longer than I will.

Sleek, subtle and surprisingly capable.
There are a lot of options when it comes to cable organisers and everyday carry. You can pay a little, or you can pay a lot.Sidebyside have made a really good product here. Its at an accessible price point and the organiser itself feels great quality. The zips feel solid and there's a sturdy though small handle at the "top".There are plenty of options inside, with straps, small pockets and a zip pouch, comfortably fitting most mobile device chargers and/or small laptop chargers, USB drives, memory cards and about as many cables as you could conceivably need.All of this while remaining compact and easy to store - it might end up thicker than other options but the narrow/long design makes up for that.Good purchase if you need to organise and carry a good amount of tech paraphernalia.

versatile and compact
absolutely amazing. It fits all my cables , dongles, charges + SSD!!!The best thing to know if this suits your purpose is knowing what you currently have and where would you place it.I preferred a longer pouch as it can sit vertical on mi backpack (Boundary Prima, that I don’t use for photo but tech) with easy access from top and side quick access pocket.
