- price is misrepresented
- Amazon is wrong about the suggested retail. Even Belkin sells this thing for 25 bucks on their own website.

- Nice idea, works well but bulky
- I travel every week for work and usually have to scout out the few available outlets in the airports. This is handy because it gives you 3 outlets while leaving one of the wall outlets still available for another weary, electricity craving traveler to use. The USB ports are a great idea. I use it for my iPod, GPS and bluetooth headset, and it work just fine for all of those and saves me from carrying extra adapters. The fact that the plug rotates is a great feature, so it can fit many more places and not cover the other outlet. The only drawback is that it's quite chunky, and the prongs stick out even farther to make a big bulge in your computer bag. Foldable prongs would make this perfect. Well worth the twenty or so dollars I paid-but where did the alleged over a hundred dollar list price come from?

- $106? That must be a typ0
- This indicates 'regular price' is $106. That simply cannot be. So just be sure you don't get too excited over "85%" off.

- Good for what it is designed to do
- I own this product (was a gift to me from my spouse). Anyhow, it works great for the regular plugs. The thing about USB is there are different types, and some items overclock USB. It will not charge an overclocking device. Other than that, it works well for charging my cell phone through the USB charger. Everything else I own does the thing (proprietary enabling) of overclocking their product so that the USB charger cannot recognize the device.
This happens on computers a bit. If you buy a Saitek keyboard, it overclocks the USB, so only a Saitek mouse will work with it. That is not the only brand that does this, but an example.
So, items that are proprietary (game systems, etc) would probably not work charging from this charger. Mine don't. - 2008-09-09, 1 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great little Surge Protector!
- I use my Belkin Mini Surge protector with my laptop. It's small enough to carry around and gives me 3 surge protected outlets. The two USB ports are great for charging my IPod. Love it!!
