Peels (Thread Spool Wraps)

I happened across an ad on Facebook for Smartneedle.com's Peels, which are a spool wrap system.   The company's website has a little video of Peels in action.  The Guterman thread spools in the video are the same size as the spools used for Trebizond, Accentuate, and other similar threads.  I have not been able to find any reviews on this new item, though.
