 I suppose 'Mini' is a subjective term... May 20, 2008

I ordered two of these devices to take traveling with me. I was primarily looking for a way to replace the need for multiple power adapters in my carry-on gadget bag and charge my devices via USB cables. The surge protection and additional outlets were secondary for my needs. With that said, this item may not have been the best choice for me, but from the pictures this 'Mini Surge Protector' appeared to be the answer to my problem.
When I received my package from Amazon I was shocked to see just how big the unit actually was. It weighed 6.6 ounces, and was way too big for my streamlined gadget bag (I travel with a Tamrac Velocity 8x bag 99% of the time). This is more 'checked' luggage friendly than 'carry-on'. Even in a laptop case you're going to need quite a bit of room to fit this unit in.
As for it's performance, it worked just as intended. I had no problems charging my USB gadgets, including my PSP contrary to the previous review on here. For the record, my PSP is the original model and I used a specific charge cable for it (USB to power adapter) as the old PSPs CANNOT charge via USB alone (unlike the new models).
Out of the two units I purchased I did have to return one of the them due to a misaligned USB port. It prevented me from getting a USB cable connected unless I held the cable in place. This may have been fixable, but since I was not happy with the unit I didn't bother trying.
A nice feature of this surge protector is the ability of it to rotate allowing you to align it either horizontally or vertically as not to block additional outlets on the wall.
Had it been smaller and lighter it would've been a perfect addition to any gadget bag, but if you are traveling with minimum available space you might be out of luck. The surge protector is much thicker than the photos let on (check out my user posted photos to see).
 Great charger. May 17, 2008

I usually stay away from Belkin products, but this thing looks and works great. USB charging works well with our BlackBerry, iPod and Motorola phones. The plug can be rotated 360 degrees, which is a great plus.
Handy and works great. May 27, 2008

I bought this with a cruise in mind. Have since been using it at home as well. The USB chargers come in handy with our Ipod and our telephones as an extra charging station.

I purchased this to replace the bulky travel adapters that I use for a multitude of gadgets and it fits that role very well. Although it is a little larger than expected, it has still reduced the amount of bulk that I carry. Charges my iPhone very well using the standard cable and I have purchased a few other usb cables for charging as well so devices like my Kindle and PSP can both charge from it as well. It's also nice to have the extra outlets in a hotel room that is stingy with such things. I would like to see USB ports for charging added to more devices in th future.

This is a wonderful product-- 3 plug surge protector and 2 USB charger. I use it with my macbook pro, and IBM Thinkbook, Ipod-- anything. Once nice feature is that the unit swivels so that the orientation of the plug does not create a problem. I recommend it for anyone!!
