Abstract
A desktop organizer, intended for use in managing mobile device cables, in holding writing implements and earpieces, and in standing up mobile devices, has a main body that is optionally made of elastomeric material. The main body optionally contains a weight in a weight cavity. The main body is flexible. The main body has vertical end channels and cable channels. The cable channels have a smaller cross section than the end channels. In some versions, the end channels or the cable channels have features that make it easier to put items or cables in the channels. The main body may have a bottom channel that allows it to sit atop cords and keep them corralled.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a main body having dimensions, the dimensions of the main body comprising a main body length along a first axis, a main body width along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and a main body height along a third axis perpendicular to the first axis and to the second axis;
- the first axis and the second axis defining a first plane, the first axis and the third axis defining a second plane, and the second axis and the third axis defining a third plane;
- the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis intersecting at a common reference point of the main body and defining axes of the main body;
- the main body further having pairs of sides including a first pair of the sides, a second pair of the sides, and a third pair of the sides, the first pair of the sides comprising a main body front side before the second plane and a main body rear side behind the second plane, the second pair of the sides comprising a main body top side above the first plane and a main body bottom side below the first plane, and the third pair of the sides comprising a main body left side and a main body right side;
- the first pair of the sides, the second pair of the sides, and the third pair of the sides defining the sides of the main body;
- the main body comprising flexible material;
- the main body further comprising a first end channel communicating between the main body top side and the main body bottom side;
- the first end channel having a first end channel passage that communicates from an interior of the first end channel to outside of the main body through one of the third pair of the sides;
- a second end channel communicating between the main body top side and the main body bottom side;
- the second end channel having a second end channel passage that communicates between a same one of the third pair of the sides;
- and
- the main body having a divider separating the first end channel from the second end channel and extending in a direction parallel to the first axis.
