How to store iPhone 5 earbuds?

Has anyone figured out how to get the iPhone 5 earbuds back in the case they came in? After I put the mic into the case, one of the cables is longer than the other and I can't figure out how to get the cables to wrap tightly enough to get the top of the case to fit properly.

It's driving me nuts, because I'm sure some guy at Foxconn spends all day wrapping these things perfectly.

I'd sure love to see a YouTube video on how to do it correctly.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1), iPad 2 and iPhone 5

Noboy has mentioned that this is the stupidest case in the history of stupid cases.

Videos and tutorials needed to put earbuds back in the case. How un-Mac-like.

The Nest Earbud Case is a quick and easy way to store your earbuds. I have one for each of my kids becuase they would always find a way to ruin them. No more earbud replacements!

I didn't watch the videos... so I'm not sure if my method is the same.

After reading this thread, I was about to go buy a case when I figured out how to get them into the stock case without issue!!

When you are almost done wrapping, fold the connector back and tuck it to the left side. This will leave ample room for the lid to close.

Can't believe this took me 2 years to figure out!
