Abstract
An earphone wire cover with three separate arms resembling drinking straws joined together in a Y-configuration into which the ear phone speakers and plug are inserted and passed through. These covers enclose most of the wire from the electronic device to the earphones. The three sections are joined together with a flexible tape or string so that, when the earphones are to be stored, the three arms can be brought together as three parallel tubes holding the bulk of the wire by simply flipping the bottom section into alignment with the upper two sections. The invention can be easily re-deployed by simply folding the bottom section out again and separating the top ends to make a Y. An alternate embodiment of the invention can have a microphone hole in one of the arms.
