Reddit reviews VELCRO Brand 5 Ft x 3/4 In | Black Tape Roll with Adhesive | Cut Strips to Length | Sticky Back Hook and Loop Fasteners | Perfect for Home, Office or Classroom

Depends on your desk and how permanent you want the solution for ONE layout.

My first choice would be a good cable management channel that can hold it, it's permanent while maintaining flexibility in use, and ease of access if you need to move it. something like this or like this. Depending on your desk, there may be some specifically designed for it.

After that I'd go with Velcro is a great option since it is less permanent than

Custom Screw mount is basically the last option I'd go with - it's permanent and not at all versatile, if you need a new brick you might be SOL.

Easy peasy

I have always used 3 cables tied together with these [VELCRO wraps](VELCRO Brand - Sticky Back Hook and Loop Fasteners| Perfect for Home or Office | 5ft x 3/4in Roll | Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IC2L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mLODDb57DXZ66) cut to size. And I got 3 different colored electrical tapes to have each cable color coded. For the proper input/output. You can even cut a small piece of tape to put on you pedal/amp input/output/send/return to make it foolproof. There are more expensive solutions. But this has always worked for me and is pretty inexpensive. I definitely don’t recommend cable ties as they will damage cables over time.

Good call! I keep the extra lengths (typically 2-3ft) of my straps tidy with double-sided velcro. Never had a problem with them coming loose.

buy some Velcro tape like this, and only use one side of it to attach to the side already on your bag.

The size itself is great. You may have a bit of trouble furnishing it, though. For depth of bedding, you could probably add some simple "tubs" like cardboard boxes with the top cut off or those inexpensive sterilite shoe boxes. Hamsters need about 3-4 inches of deep bedding, but they really only need it for nest, a few fun tunnels, and food storage. A couple hundred square inches of deep bedding with more shallow bedding in other places would be fine.

The ramp is a bit steep, and would be unusable for a sick or old hamster, but you could just replace it with a longer board and glue down some coarse sandpaper for grip.

Secure the top with something better than gravity. Hamsters can lift quite a bit with their wedge-shaped heads. I'd screw a pair of "screw eyes" or hooks onto each front corner and use reusable zip ties to hold it secure. Easy, strong, and cheap.

With wood, there's a chance that a determined hamster could chew a hole through it if they can get a good purchase to start chewing from. The back looks especially susceptible because it seems like masonite or some similar fiberboard. Check it every few days. If you see a danger spot, you can just cover it with aluminum flashing. It's basically super thick aluminum foil for waterproofing the edges and corners of roofing. You can cut it with scissors and bend it to fit nicely on weird shapes. Attach it with cheapo silicone caulk for a bond that will last decades. Aluminum and caulk tube are just a few dollars each. Caulk gun may run you around $10 if you don't have one. But you probably know someone you can borrow from.

Put food and water on both levels because if your hamster gets hurt or sick, you want them to have it. They may be stuck on one floor while they wait for you to notice they have an issue.

Edit: I looked at the reviews by users on amazon, and it looks like this particular hutch may not be worth the money. 170 beaver dollars is too much to spend on something that may not fit together well. With that budget, you can get a 40-gallon breeder aquarium and a nice quality wire mesh lid for it. The floorspace on one of those is wonderful, the bedding depth is perfect, glass is completely unchewable and easy to clean, and you'll never get better visibility for watching your hamster. Just attach water bottles to the inner surface with adhesive velcro tape. I don't trust the other brands unless I can feel them in person.

It doesn’t have to be a pain. Get some of this and a strong pair of scissors.

Cut the lengths you need and you can easily bundle wires together, but more importantly bundle them to those speaker stands, table legs, etc. That velcro roll might even be cheaper somewhere like monoprice, but it’s handy to have around.

Couple of thoughts:

You could paint the zippers black.

There exists Velcro tape with adhesive on both sides (like this) and if you look around a bit you can probably find one that has fairly ridiculously strong adhesive. You could cover the zipper with the Velcro, adhering one side (the hook side, say) to the boot and cutting it in half so one half is on each side of the zipper, then adhere a strip of black cloth or black leather to the other side (the loop side, say) so you can use the zipper functionality and then cover it with the Velcro cover. Note that the adhesive will probably start to fail if it gets very wet but you could stitch the hook side on and the stitches wouldn't be visible so wouldn't have to be very pretty.

As a simple hack, I've used double sided velcro like this one before to help with this, just put one side each on the fabric between buttons and it's magic! You have to replace it after ~5-10 washes but still - better than nothing :)

I put velcro on the batterys and on the area where the battery goes on my RC aircraft, Never have a problem.

Just do what you did before but try again. Make it a little nicer looking if you want. Velcro tape is your friend if you'll need to redo it or take out/add cables. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00006IC2L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PmnTDb926W3QT

Do you have a link to these on amazon or wal-mart set up where they can be shipped directly to you?

For Example: http://www.amazon.com/Velcro-Sticky-Back-Fastener-Dispenser-90086/dp/B00006IC2L/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1377053995&sr=8-6&keywords=Sticky+Back+Velcro

But you will need to create a wish list with a ship to address (hidden) so that we can just add it to our cart and have it shipped right out to you ;)

I mean, can't they change their company name? I guess its probably not cheap, but then this is a problem literally because they have been too successful in their marketing

edit: Maybe I'm wrong, not an expert, but it seems to me they are in this predicament because they advertised their products as Velcro, not Velcro hook and loop.

None of them list hook and loop anywhere, though to their credit they do list Velcro BRAND very clearly. And one of them does mention the product type as fastener. They should start advertising and packaging them as Velco brand hook and loop fasteners. That way if someone challenges their trademark in court, they can point out that every single one of their product's promotional material clearly separates the product from the company - right now, that's not clear in their own marketing (outside this video of course).
