5.0 out of 5 stars Good little product , August 31, 2008

By	KaiMac "coolcat" (Snellville,GA USA) - See all my reviews

I use this to plug in my MacBook Pro when I'm at home, although I occasionally take it with me to my local coffee shop. I have no trouble fitting it inside my bag. I hope people realize that to do what it does, this product really couldn't be any smaller. Yes, there are mini power strips that are smaller, but have no surge protection or USB charging. Besides, Amazon does provide the product's dimensions; take a moment to pull out a tape measure to get an idea of what you'll get. Unless you use a really tight fitting sleeve or bag to carry your laptop, I don't see why it would be such a problem to fit this unit inside the average laptop bag. A lot of power supply "bricks" are larger and heavier.
The rotating plug allows you to fit this unit in any position without covering other outlets. I have not tried the USB outlets yet, as I tend to use AC chargers for my portable gadgets, but the idea is great for road warriors that need all their laptop USB ports.

I wanted to add that I recently purchased an iPod Touch and it charges without a problem off of this device. It has continued to give me good service and now lives permanently attached to my laptop's power cord. I see that people still can't be bothered to use a tape measure. Really this is not that big for what it does.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Portable Surge Protector, June 27, 2008

By	David N. (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, May 20, 2008

By	W. Stohler (Honolulu, HI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This unit is about 30% larger than I thought it would be. But for what it is, it's great! Was able to use the unit to charge my Zune!
