Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin BZ103050vTVL Mini Surge Protector/Dual USB Charger
Customer Review: Would like more USB ports
Summary: 4 Stars
The is a good travel surge protector, especially when compared to other travel surge protectors. I really like having USB ports on a surge protector, and I wish that there were more of them. I would even give up one of the full outlets for 2 more usb ports. I think 2 outlets and 4 usb ports would be perfect.
For my purposes, I would happily trade the grounded outlets for ungrounded outlets which took up less space.
Customer Review: Needs another design iteration
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Customer Review: Good for road warrior
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a good unit for the price and handy for road warrior" portable computer applications in hotels or for locations where you bring your portable and data projector and are not sure of the quality of the power (school auditoriums). USB charger works with iPod and other electronics.
If you just want to charge your iPod, you should get the Apple adapter because it is more compact.

Customer Review: Excellent travel surge protector
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree that "mini" is not the best word to describe this surge protector but it is not so bulky that it can not be easily stowed for travel. I've taken it on several trips out of the country and it has worked well. The best bonus though is the very useful powered USB outlets. This allows me to charge iPods and my iPhone. Older chargers--even Apples older chargers--will not work for newer generation products.Customer Review: Just what I needed
Summary: 5 Stars
The product so far has lived up to it's description. I do agree with another reviewer, that it was larger than expected. I got this unit because of the extra outlets (difficult enought to find one in a hotel room) and USB charger ports. The USB ports alone will come in handy charging my Mp3 player and other gadgets. It has a new home in my suitcase rather than my backpack and will be used during each trip.
