    Stick one of these to the rear door on your 29. Clip the power wire in it and prevent the angled OEM power supply from tearing off the power port cover.

    Jerkstopper

    or

    cable clamp

    or

    Cble management

    Pretty Interesting! But at $8.00 (USD) each, plus S&H, they are pretty proud of it...

    in place of the Jerkstopper rj11 or 45 a regular phone or RJ45 end and a small bit of epoxy and glue it to your cable makes a permamant one. ( we have been doing this for vehicle mounts for years and it costs about $.30 )

    for the toughbooks steal a GOOD metal snap from your wifes sewing kit and epoxy the female side to the backplate and put the male end on your cable and it makes for a fast detach and long living one too. ( again I keep using epoxy or JB weld )

    That 1st one is great. I don't feel as bad about not thinking of it 1st like the backwards robe/blanket scam.
