Cable Guy Xbox Ikon Controller Holder (5060525896002) Review
Introduction
The Cable Guy Xbox Ikon Controller Holder (Model Number: 5060525896002) promises a stylish and functional way to store and charge your Xbox controller. But does it deliver on its promises? After several weeks of testing, I’m ready to share my thoughts.
Features
The most striking feature is, undoubtedly, its design. The vibrant multicolour scheme is eye-catching and instantly recognizable as a Cable Guy product. It’s officially licensed, so the quality and detail are excellent. The included 3-meter micro-USB cable is a definite plus, offering ample reach, and the addition of a Lightning adapter adds extra versatility. The holder itself is approximately 20cm tall, which is a good size for most controllers without feeling overly bulky.

Performance
The controller holder performs its primary function admirably. My Xbox controller fits snugly and securely, preventing accidental drops or damage. The cable management is surprisingly efficient; the long cable allows for flexible placement, and the holder keeps the cable neatly organized. Charging via the micro-USB connection works perfectly. However, I did notice that the plastic feels a little less robust than I expected for the price. It’s certainly not flimsy, but it doesn’t feel as premium as some other accessories.
The overall stability is good on a flat surface. However, on slightly uneven surfaces, there’s a minor risk of tipping if the controller is heavy. This isn’t a major issue, but something to consider.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Stylish design, secure controller hold, long cable, Lightning adapter included, officially licensed.
- Cons: Plastic feels slightly less robust than expected for the price point, minor stability issues on uneven surfaces.
Final Verdict
The Cable Guy Xbox Ikon Controller Holder is a good-looking and functional accessory that mostly lives up to its promise. While the plastic construction could be slightly improved, the convenience of the long cable, the included Lightning adapter, and the secure controller hold make it a worthwhile purchase for many. If you value style and practicality, and the minor drawbacks don’t bother you, I would recommend this product.
