Digital camera reviews of Belkin BZ103050vTVL Mini Surge Protector/Dual USB Charger
Digital camera Review: Great Portable Surge Protector
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great surge protector for travelers... it is compact, lightweight, and best of all can charge two USB devices. If I could change anything about it, I'd wish it could be a little bit smaller... but considering everything else good about this device, why complain? The plug rotates, too, so you can plug it into an outlet facing in any of four directions. After I saw this previewed, I held off on buying other similar products... it was worth the wait and I carry it with me whenever I travel.Digital camera Review: Great Surge Protector

This is truly a great item. It charges my Iphone, Ipod, etc. and also has 3 regular outlets. It can also be tilted in any direction.Digital camera Review: Great Travel Mini Surge Protector
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this only a couple weeks but took a trip last week and it was great to have with me. I was not only able to charge my Samsung NC10 but also my iPod. This surge protector has space to charge 2 USB devices and connect 3 conventional plugin devices at the same time. No more worries that your hotel will have a power problem and fry any of your favorite toys. Way to go Belkin!!!Digital camera Review: Great Versatile Product - Saved Me On An International Trip
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great and flexible product for charging up to 3 ac power components, and 2 USB devices simultaneously.
I was recently in Prague, and used this product each day. Iwas able to charge numerous gadgets and gear at the same time. My netbook via AC, iPhone via USB, extra iPhone battery via USB, travel router via AC, and a PDA via AC! As needed, I could also swap my Symbian phone in to a USB port or AC outlet. All this with just one electrical outlet and one international plug adapter!
I have bought several of these for use at my desk, in a guest room, and other places in the house. The item would make a great gift for anyone with gear for use at home or on the road.
The best thing about this device is the flexibility it offers, as you can plug many kinds of usb devices in to it.
Things I would improve, in order of priority:
*Agree with the earlier review that you cannot plug numerous items in with bulky block type adapters. The suggestion to put one ac outlet on the opposite end where the usb plugs are is a good one;
*Make the ac outlet prongs somehow fold in to the unit so they do not protrude out;
*Include retractable usb cables;
*Offer an included or accessory case for the device and associated cables.
This is still the best product in this category that I am aware of, and I would buy it again and highly recommend it! The suggested improvements would just make a great product even better.
Digital camera Review: Great but beware
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product. I use it when traveling to charge two iphones and other devices. When plugging in two iphones via the USB connectors, the iphones will beep and blink endlessly until you unplug one of the iphones. I have solved this by turning off one of the iphones before plugging it in. A bit annoying at first, but a simple solution. The USB must not be providing enough power to charge and run two iphones at the same time. Otherwise, I love this device because it saves so much room in the suitcase.
