Lots of replies, so this may have been suggested already

Taken from any 'click' pen.

That's the best idea ever!

The pen spring was suggested but until I saw your photo I didn't think the
pen spring would work. You showed that a pen spring _is_ big enough to roll
onto the Apple cable becoming what I had called a strain relief but I don't
know what it's called because others said it's not a strain relief.

That picture is PERFECT for what I want to do, and is the best and cheapest
answer yet and it relieves the strain gradually which is another perfect
thing!

Now I have to root through the trash to find all those Bic click pens I've
thrown away over the years! LOL
