There’s a certain charm to a peripheral that does one job and does it well.
In the world of geeky accessories, EXGPro’s “Cable Guys” have carved out a niche for themselves, offering stylish and sturdy holders for your phone and console controllers. I recently had the chance to get my hands on my very first Cable Guy: the future Pirate King himself, Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece.
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. For a reasonable price, you get a figurine designed to hold your tech. Simple, right? But I was genuinely impressed from the moment the package arrived. The box itself has a premium feel, and inside, I found a surprisingly hefty and well-made Luffy. He’s chunky and solid, a stark contrast to his stretchy, rubbery anime counterpart.
Living on the coast of Scotland, I’m no stranger to a bit of wind. The Firth of Forth can be unforgiving, so I decided to put Luffy to a real-world test down at the harbour. On a day with gusts that felt like they were reaching storm force, a lesser holder would have been sent flying into the sea. But Luffy stood his ground, rock steady against the wind, cradling my phone without a single wobble. It was at that moment I knew this was a quality product. I trusted this vibrant, grinning pirate with my expensive phone on the edge of a harbour wall—that’s a testament to its build.
The design itself is fantastic. The colours are bright, and Luffy’s excited expression is infectious. When you place your phone in his hands sideways, it looks a bit like he’s about to take a massive bite out of it, which only adds to the character and fun of the piece.
It’s hard to find fault in a product that so thoroughly exceeds expectations. The EXGPro Luffy Cable Guy is more than just a piece of plastic; it’s a well-crafted, surprisingly durable, and genuinely useful accessory for any fan of One Piece, or for anyone who wants to keep their gaming space tidy. It’s a fantastic addition to any desk, gaming room, or “man cave.”
With Halloween just around the corner, I’ve heard whispers of some monstrous new additions to the Cable Guys family. And while I’m a die-hard One Piece fan and couldn’t be happier with my Luffy, I’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for what EXGPro has in store.
For Luffy, it’s a definite thumbs up from me. You can get your own here.
