Agreed, great idea!
I think what they are wondering is how did you find shoelaces that are tube-like, where they have a hollow inside so you can slip the cable in.

MUAHAHAHAAHAHAHA thanks guys... so glad all of u liked them...makes a n00bie feel proud of himself
i actually got the idea when i was doing research on DIY cables (before i found this forum) and stumbled upon a site (forgot) that used shoelaces as sleeves. and i also know that a shoppin mall near me has them funky shoelaces for sale... and they have ALOT of it and tonnes of designs too. so out came the lightbulb that and also cable sleeves such as techflex arent easily available here. hell...even the vantec sleeves for PCs are in shortage.
like mb3k said... the shoelaces are hollow inside so u just slip the cables in them. alot of shoelaces are made hollow inside.. although there are laces that arent hollow...u just gotta...errr... 'feel 'em up' to make sure. another downside is that theyre pre-cut length... hence u see the heatshrink on the black cables and some peeking out on the red one too.
the black ones were a real b!tch to sleeve coz the laces are a little smaller than the other 2. so make sure u guys get some that are slightly bigger...once u stretch them out over the cables itll sit nicely. another problem i had was it was really tight to work with the plugs... coz the mini plugs i had were friggin SMALL. i even had to drill out the entry to the max. but they were easier to work with with bigger plugs like the RCA plugs like the ones i posted before.
Awesome cable sleeving! Very original idea I would note if some hasn't done it use.
