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!!

Belkin has missed the mark with this adaptor.
It simply is not "mini." At least, it is not mini as compared to other three outlet grounding adaptors. It is 4x the size and 4 the weight of a typical cheap (i.e. $3) three outlet grounded adaptor. This means that it cannot easily be dropped into a bag; you have to make room for it.
While it is surely is smaller than most surge suppressors, buyers only need something this small when traveling, and this is so much bigger than what it might replace that it is not likely to be brought along for the trip.
Belkin -- a company whose products I generally like -- clearly decided to make solid and sturdy product. The plastic is thick and strong. I have no doubt that the thing could even hold my weight, where I stand on it or even jump on it. But the trade off there is bulk, both in size and weight.
This is unfortunate because the product is a great idea. Between phones, MP3 players, bluetooth headsets and BlackBerries, there is quite a need for USB charging, especially on the road. Power outlets are usually in short supply in hotels and airports, so carrying this kind of device would be a good idea, if only it was easier to carry and forget about until needed.
Great for travel or home/office August 11, 2008

Bought this primarily for the multiple outlets & surge protection, and the size is nicely compact for that. Bonus features are the USB ports for charging, which means device chargers can stay home (as long as you have a cable), and the swivel plug. Very happy with this!

Works as advertised. Easy to throw in a bag and have multiple outlets surge protected. Lightweight and the swivel feature helps in tight situations. The charger works well too with a USB cable.

Great device...charges usb devices and allows you to plug other devices in. I keep one in my bag for on the go....
I used to carry 2 phone chargers for usb...now I just plug one usb cable into the usb slot and it charges both of my devices. This actually saved space in my BAG...unheard of.
Awesome device...and a name like belkin behind it means you can rest assured your power is clean and your devices protected.
