Unfortunately some cables are particularly difficult to replace - like the cables for in-ear monitors. I have three sets of Shure monitors of various vintages, and over the years I've had to send them in for repair at least 6 times - every time because the cables went bad. Now this isn't an inditement of Shure quality, as every other brand would likely fare the same given how much I use them, but it's a real pain that I have to send these things in for warranty repair every six months.

When I find cool things like this I immediately start to think, "What else can I use this for?" Things like:
- Stress relief ends for cables
- Custom molded bumpers for my guitar tuner
- Color-coded caps for the knobs on my mixing board
- Adding grippy-bits to guitar picks
- Repairing the bridge on my glasses for that extra-nerdy look
- Fashioning removable Elvis-like sideburns
- Making snot-balls to gross out my kids
The possibilities are endless. Check out Sugru's site. They have a growing list of user-contributed uses for the product.
