I have found my bluetooth, the earbud style, on the ground and exposed to the elements, for the last time. I decided to make sure that didn't happen again with a simple paperclip.
By keeping a large paperclip on the cord, I can now secure it when not in use. It's cheap, easy to replace should something happen, and works great. N-JOY!
