Here's my review of Belkin's Mouse Trap. I'll show you a bit how it works and tell you why I like it. Simple as that. Belkin F5L008-BRN Mouse Trap Mouse Pad

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.

Great for travel and storing I-pod cable. I like the sticky stuff on the bottom-keeps it from skidding around on a glass table.

Functional, smart and great looking. The snap on loop allows you to carry on the outside of your bag if needed but your mouse remains protected because of the padding. There is a "gripper ring" on the bottom to stay put when used as a mouse pad. Plenty big enough to carry a regular/large sized mouse with a cord - not just for the compact wireless ones - as well as a flash drive, iPod, pen, etc. I selected this along with the coordinating computer bag. What a great set.

There is room for your cordless mouse, any miscellaneous cords you have and BONUS, we love the mousepad feature. It lays flat, there is a small rubber/grippy/non slip ring on the brown side to keep it put. Zipper is smooth. Great buy

I bought the Belkin bag that matches this mouse pad, too. Both are very nice. Well made and easy to use. Very pleased with the color choice, too. I think both products are much nicer than some of the other items I have seen. Derfinitely happy with both!

A very pleasing color scheme and a roomy pocket and mousing surface are the high points here. The rubberized rings on the back to keep the unfolded mouse pad in place are close to useless, however (they are plenty grippy but the pad is too light for them to be effective), and the thing needs to be flattened a good deal before you get a level surface. The snap handle is a nice touch, though; you can hang it off your bag if you are in a hurry. I just wish it would latch a bit tighter.

In all, a decent travel pad for the money that can provide extra storage in a pinch.

I bought this mouse trap pad to go with my Belkin messenger bag. One obvious plus is that it matches the bag in style and color. I use it constantly to carry my mouse as it just doesn't fit in the bag well. My mouse has a roller ball so I don't use the mouse trap as a mouse pad but I can see that this may be hard to get to lay flat. Since it is advertised as a mouse pad, I took away one star for this reason. For my use, I love it.

This is a great product! Handy little thing! Works great as a mouse pad - and can hit my travel drive inside as well!

BRAVO!!
