Belkin BZ103050vTVL Mini Surge Protector/Dual USB Charger

I've seen those cooling plates for laptops for sale all over, but I didn't want to buy something that would strain my laptop's power supply. This little beauty allows me to have surge protection for my laptop -and- run a USB powered fan cooling plate directly, without straining the Power supply of my laptop! If your laptop has issues with heating, get a cooling plate and this device!

Great idea, but not quite there. The USB charger is great -- charged my iPhone 3G, and the surge-protected outlets and swivel plug are just what is needed. However, it's anything but 'Mini' -- it's way too bulky and should be at least 30% smaller. Second, for world travelers it must support 240v (it doesn't). Third, why not throw in another USB port or two? I actually travel with at least three USB-chargeable devices.

I travel with quite a few electonic devices and this surge protector/USB charger is the best thing I have purchased to help keep all of them fully charged and ready to take on the road. This thing rocks!

Helped reduce my travel bag of AC extension, cables, chargers etc. Worked perfectly with my iPhone, iPOD and Garmin GPS. There's 3 AC adapter I could leave home! The plug turns 360 degrees which adapted to virtually any wall outlet I tried it with. Seems pretty sturdy - I'll let you know after it has traveled 50,000 miles - if it holds up as well as me - I'll give it another Thumbs Up.

This is a great item it is small enough to use anywhere. My husband really likes the usb access on the end so he can charge his ipod and not have to use his computer. The cord which came with it also works with my motorola cell phone and will charge that. You can not get a cell phone charger from the dealer for less than this item. We like it so much I am going to order another one with my next purchase. Great product all around!
