Digital camera reviews of Ziplinq ZIP-PWR-NB Retractable Universal Notebook Power Cord (5 feet, Black)
Digital camera Review: BEWARE
Summary: 1 Stars
First, this is a great product idea...
But I ordered a couple and both have now exhibited a pretty bad problem. In both cases, the connection of the cord to the PC-side adapter is a bit loose and bare wire (!!!!!) starts to show. This does not happen on the wall-plug side. This happened to one of the cables after only a couple of days of very gentle use. I figured it was just a bad sample. Then my 2nd cable did exactly the same thing. If you have one of these, you should check it...
Digital camera Review: Better than the original
Summary: 4 Stars
The price for this power cord is a little high - but it is a nice addition to my travel bag. I "upgraded" from a large 15.4" notebook to a Samsung N120-12GBK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 6 Cell Battery recently. I was tired of lugging around a big backpack just to have my laptop handy. The Samsung is so much lighter and fits in a bag that goes under the seat in front of me on an airplane.
Unfortunately, the Samsung comes with a power supply that's almost as big as my old one. And the power cord from the wall to the power supply is surprisingly large. I got this as a replacement. It saves much space inside my smaller laptop bag. I also replaced the power supply - but that's a different story: Replacement AC Adapter/Charger 19V 2.1A 40W for Samsung N110-12PBK,N120-12GBK Netbook
Overall, it's great replacement cord that keeps itself tidy. But you'd be better off with a plain, thinner cord with a velcro strap. The plastic spool on this cord is rather bulky.

This is very handing. Wish it was the full cord and not just an attachment to the other portion. Easy to travel with.Digital camera Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
The more I read on the review sections the more I get the feeling that the competitors come to trash their rivals products.
I have about 8 varieties of Zip-Linq products and after over a year of heavy use, they are doing their job without any problems whatsoever.
When I read "Great product idea, but" I start wondering if the Acme Coyote is writing a review for a competing product. The reel is plastic. Don't use it to hold up a car whilst changing a tyre. Don't toss it in the bottom of your back pack and then cram a 10 pound laptop on top of it. And for God's sake don't chew on the wires. I mean this thing has the same wires that would be on a power brick or USB. You need to have a little kindness toward the gadget, but I find them amazingly durable and as a man with OCD, clean, neat and tidy (without nasty wear and tear making my computer look ugly) is of the utmost importance.
Buy them, you will be happy.
Digital camera Review: Good

Is really much bulkier than it looks on the photo. But again, it is much more convenient than a regular power cord. Handy to just toss into your bag when packing a laptop or such. Wish though, they could make a smaller model - which is quite possible if using a thinner cord, suitable for low-power devices (that most personal electronics are). And still keep the present model for other application.
