Still looks like it might not work though. It was the area where the wire emerges from the brick that was the problem for me. That spot receives the most stress and flex and is the area that cracked open. The way I have it wrapped now, the wire comes straight out for about an inch before it bends. I even added tape to reinforce that joint where it comes out. I am not sure from the angle of your picture if there is enough slack with your method. Let me know how it works out though. Ultimately it is up to Apple to fix this crummy design. Josh: Thanks for sharing. Still looks like it might not work though.

I have had it this way for a year and a half and its not showing any problems of wear and tear http://staff.washington.edu/jwendt/Photo82.jpg Hey I figured out a simple way to resolve this.
