Default Headphone Automatic Cord winder

Ok, so I have been looking for a better "cord management system" than wrapping it up and shoving it in my pocket, only to spend a few minutes untangling it every time I wanted to use it.
I found these :http://www.a-speed.com.cn/yipod.htm Go to the middle of the page.
They are uglier than sin, but exactly what I was looking for. Everything between the plug and the wire split to the earbuds can be wrapped up in the retractable "spinner".
Has anyone seen anything similar, but that look good?

Actually those don't look too terrible, although they could be better. I just wonder how much of the cord they will handle. Will the winding stop when it gets to the splitter, or the mic/clicker, leaving the buds dangling at the end of a foot of cord?

It says that the rewind length is between 32-38 cm ( I'm guessing it depends on the amount of tension use wind it to) which is about 15" or so - not a huge length when you still have a lotta length still hanging
take a look at the pic here:

I may not have a clue what I am talking about, but make sure that 'iPod" earbuds work on the iPhone. The iPhone plug is different because of the speaker function. Three rings on the plug versus two. I know that to use my Bose headset I need to use a Belkin adapter or something similiar where I didn't on my iPod. Just a thought, and like I said, I may not have a clue what I am talking about. LOL

Phil, you misunderstand. It's the cord retractor that I'm talking about. I don't think that it comes with earbuds, only that it was made primarily for them- hence the apple (not Apple) logo

The link no longer seems to be good. Does it still work and do you have updated information on where someone can get one of these? Thanks!
