A utility clip may include a base and a cover that is pivotably secured to the base. The base may include a pair of guide flanges that, along with the cover, cooperate to create a passage to retain and support a cable or wire. The guide flanges may be angled in the manner that creates a generally smooth path of travel for a cable or wire retained in the clip. As a result, the flanges may prevent kinking or over-bending of the wire or cable. Furthermore, by creating a path of travel for the wire or cable the user may avoid tangling the wire or cable around himself/herself or around other nearby wires, cables or equipment.
