If you can yank your eyes from the flat tummy, check out the Neat Products Hangman. It plugs into an iPod or iPhone and you wind your earbud cord around it. The cord locks into notches, which keeps your cord taut and not flapping around.

There's a better view of the Hangman, sans belly, when you click Continue. The metal arch is actually a belt hook to hang your iPod from, hence the name. Hangman is available in black or white for $20.
