The Bento Stack, a new project being funded on Indiegogo, takes the concept of a Bento lunch box and applies it to iPhone and iPad accessories.
Available in three colors (silver, space gray, and rose gold) for $38, the Bento Stack is a container that offers up several sections that can hold a variety of accessories like cables, Apple Watch bands, an Apple Pencil, and more. I was able to go hands-on with the Bento Stack, and I thought it was a nifty organizational tool, if a bit bulky.
I have the Bento Stack in gray, and it seems to match well with Apple`s space gray devices. It`s covered in a soft, rubbery material that`s nice to touch, and it has a slight sheen to it, making it visually appealing for a simple plastic organization box.
Bento Stack measures in at 7.48 inches long, 3.35 inches tall, and 3.22 inches deep, so it`s not really going to fit well in a smaller purse or bag.
Aside from some customizations like an Apple Pencil holder and a place to store Apple Watch bands, the Bento Stack isn`t much different from the Bento lunch boxes. It has four storage components, a lid, and a silicone strap to hold it all together.
The top lid, which attaches to the cover, is designed to hold an Apple Pencil or a similarly sized pen. You can also remove the Apple Pencil from the lid and use the lid as an iPhone stand for watching videos.
Bento Stack`s top compartment can hold an AirPods case or wound up iPhone cables, and the bottom lid holds two Apple Watch bands in little plastic slots. It can only hold two -- no more.
The bottom compartment is the deepest and can be adjusted to hold a MacBook Pro-sized charger along with additional cables and accessories. All of the dividers in the top and bottom compartments can be removed and repositioned as necessary to fit all of your accessories. You`ll need to remove dividers if you want to store things like dongles and adapters, as those can`t generally be ...
