Bento Stack, a new project is being funded in Indigogo, a Bento accepts the concept of lunch box and applies it to the iPhone and iPad accessories.
Available in three colors (Silver, Space Gray and Rose Gold) in $ 38, Bento Stack is a container that provides several sections that can only contain various accessories such as Apple Watch Band, an Apple Pencil and more. I was able to miss out with Bento Stack and I thought it was a nifty organizational equipment, if a bit heavier.
I have a gray -colored Bento Stack and it looks good to match Apple’s Space Gray device. It contains a soft, rubber element that is very nice to touch and it has a little shin in it, it makes vision attractive for a simple plastic company box.
The Bento Stack measure is 7.48 inches long, 3.35 inches long and 3.22 inches deep, so it does not really fit well in a small purse or bag.
Except for some customization of Apple Pencil holders and Apple Watch Bands, the Bento Stack is not very different from the Bento Lunch Boxes. It has four storage elements, an ID and a silicone strap that hold them together.
The top id is designed to hold an Apple pencil or the same size pen, which is connected to the cover. You can remove the apple pencil from the ID and use the ID as an iPhone stand to watch the video.
The top buggy of the Bento Stack can hold an airpodes case or the iPhone cables can be wounded and below the id tanne has two Apple watch bands in small plastic slots. It can only hold two – no more.
The bottom part is deepest and can be adjusted to hold the MacBook Pro-size charger with excess cable and accessories. All your accessories can be removed and re -deployed as necessary to the top and below the buggy to fit. If you want to store things like dongles and adapters, you need to remove the dividers, because they usually cannot be wounded and spread just like that.
When packing the Bento Stack, the cables need to be carefully wound and nothing can be too long or the material does not fit together. I had a lot of trouble getting Apple Watch with the band inside, for example, because it was too tall.
Bento Stack Indigogo Page says that the top bogies and the lower parts can keep 3 to 5 Apple accessories. If I really try I can get four in the bogie below I am not sure which five accessories fits in a bogie together.
As you can see below, I fits my Apple Pencil, two Apple Watch Band, my Airpods, a USB-C power adapter, a USB-C Cable, an Apple Watch with Additional Band and two thunderstorms in Bento Stack and fits the time of power.
This is just what I accept while on a short trip, but it doesn’t fit some big accessories like the mouse.
Any component of Bento Stack Snap is connected together or without the inclusive silicone strap that keeps everything in place, so it is something that you need to keep and remove it when you use the Bento Stack.
Bottom line
I like Bento Stack but I don’t know how practical it is still everyday use. You need to take the time to be careful with caution and put all the ingredients on the proper spots to fit the correct fit and then if you travel, you need to add the elastic band, which you need to enter the box multiple times a day may be annoying.
By size, it is heavy due to rectangular size but it will fit the backpack, large bag or suitcase for travel. I was a little disappointed with how low it was able to keep for the price, but at the same time, I don’t think I want it to be even bigger because it will be unreasonable for travel.
However, what is beautiful is if there is a Bento Stack XL with more storage designed to be a desktop collaborator. I could see it used to be used as an organizational equipment more often than Standard Bento Stack. In its current avatar, I think it is a bit bigger for travel but all my accessories are too small to keep at home.
It is noteworthy that some Bento Stack components are the device specified. For example, I am not sure you can use the Apple Watch Band section for the key.
You can break the Bento Stack and simply when you need a few cables during travel, it can only take a half with you, and you can also make the ingredients if you need to easily go to all your accessories.
Amazon and other sites have hundreds of accessories organized equipment available but amazingly, I didn’t see anything like Bento Stack. Most Bento boxes are stored for food, so that the company is not particularly dedicated.
If you do not object to most of the Bento Stack during the trip or if you need a minimum desktop solution for cable/accessories storage, it is possible to check the Bento Stack.
How to buy
Bento Stack can be “backded” in Indigogo for the next two days. For a single Bento stack, which consists of all pieces, four dividers and two silicone straps, it is $ 38. Estimated distribution for Bento Stack is December 2017, and production seems to be underway already.
Note: Function 101 provides a Bento Stack to macrumors for this review. No other compensation was found.
