No more tangled cords
Cords will inevitably make a mess no matter how or where you store them. They tangle up and break if they are stuck somewhere inside your bag, so keeping them separated is essential.
A great way to do it is to put them inside specific pouches or to be even more accessible, put them inside a glasses case from the sunglasses you might be wearing during the trip. This way, they will be safe and sound when you arrive and will save you from buying new ones because the ones you took are broken.
