I bought one of these about a year ago because I got sick of paying $80 for new Macbook chargers, and it has worked really well so far: http://pythoncords.com/

The idea is to reinforce the place that usually breaks. I'm not affiliated with this company in any way, just a happy customer.

Interesting idea but really, you can do this without buying anything extra. Just make sure the cord is perpendicular to the charger and then loop it down after about an inch or two before wrapping it. I've been doing this for awhile without fail.

I do this very thing myself and it just frays the cable in a different spot.
