Apple Store robberies, where thieves grab display devices from tables, can be traumatic for those in the store at the time, as well as a hassle for the company and customers alike.

For anyone present in an Apple Store when one of these robberies takes place, it must be a pretty scary experience.

Such product-display systems may also make the displayed products available for use (e.g., for testing) by potential purchasers while limiting the potential purchaser’s ability to remove the product from a display area.

For example, embodiments include a product-display system having a retainer bracket with at least two arms that extend around opposing sides of a displayed product.

The product-display system may also include a retainer body that has an edge and has a continuous, smooth outer surface extending from the edge.

The retainer body may be coupled to the retainer bracket at a portion of the retainer body on an opposite side of the edge from the smooth outer surface.

The product-display system may also include a retaining cable that may be coupled to the retainer body at an opening of the retainer body through the outer surface of the retainer body!

The smooth outer surface of the retainer body may extend continuously from the opening to the edge.
