This review is from: Belkin F5L008-BRN Mouse Trap Mouse Pad (Personal Computers)

Pros:
-Nice way to carry your mouse
-Surface works well an optical mouse

Cons:
-Not stiff enough for using on anything but on top of a table
-Zipper stays up after opening it, creating a small lip that can be annoying (you can't flip it over and use the other side due to a piece of plastic that is glued on to prevent the pad from slipping)
-Little tab/carry handle is useless and gets in the way

While the carry handle is not that big a deal, the other cons are fairly annoying and why I gave it such a low rating. Since the material has no stiffness to it, it can really only be used on top of a table or other hard surface, which you could do without the pad using an optical mouse. And the little lip that the zipper creates makes it uncomfortable for continuous use (essentially, the zipper attached to a separate piece of fabric, which is then attached to the pad surface. This piece of fabric is sewn basically backwards which makes it stand up when the pad is laid down like it is supposed to. This makes the pad look nicer when it is zipped up, but I would preferred it sewn the other way. I have tried to flatten it out with a heavy book, but after leaving it under the weight for several weeks it only helps a bit).

So cute! Practical, too. The mouse and my pen fit inside and they get tossed into computer bag. Keeps mouse safe and pen handy. It's a house for the mouse.
