    I agree with BetsyW, but I see your reasons for doing it the way you did. In that case, my suggestion would be to consider making the iPod cable longer than the computer power cord, so that you could keep them both straight on the top of the box (with the head of the iPod cable going over the end of the power cord). I can't put my finger on why, exactly, but something about the way the iPod cable zigs out over the middle of the package strikes me funny. Of course, I imagine you have a well-considered reason for doing it that way, which I am looking forward to hearing. Other than that, your design and philosophy are great, and I appreciate what you've accomplished.
