5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfect, October 10, 2008

By	A. Crossman (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We have two power strip covers at our house--one by safety 1st and the other by Mommy's Helper. The Safety 1st cover far exceeds the quality and durability of the Mommy's Helper cover (whose buckles looked like they might break if opened too often.) I like the Safety 1st cover because it allows for adjustability in length and is very wide inside, as well as looking quite sturdy. There was plenty of width inside ours as well, so I'm no sure what other reviews were referring to. For extra safety, we covered the unused sockets on the strip with plugs...wish I had purchased this one first!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, wish it were wider., March 31, 2008

By	D. Shaw (Lanham, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a great buy if you have a slender power strip, and I would whole heartedly recommend it. If you own wider power strips, though, it doesn't fit them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pluses and Minuses vs. Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover, December 19, 2008

By	ReviewerWhoPrefersToBeAnonymous (California) - See all my reviews

I bought this "neutral" color (off-white) cover (UPC 5218110409, model 10409A - I don't know how that differs from model 10409) and Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover to compare the two. Unlike that item, this cover is expandable from 9" to 13.5" in length. The roughly-cylindrical compartment is about 3.5" wide and 4" high. The slot where the cords for the equipment come out is 5/8"-1" wide and a maximum of 10-3/4" long. When closed, the hole for the power strip cord is 1-3/8" by 1/2". Holes are provided in the base for wall mounting, but no accessories are provided.

To open the thing, you press two tabs on the inner lower cover, then slide off the outer cover, then lift the inner top cover. Place the power strip into the inner lower cover, then replace the inner top cover, then slide the inner cover into the outer cover.

The plastic is stiffer compared with the Mommy's Helper model, but it also seems more brittle. I don't like the fact that there is no way to flick the power strip switch without half-disassembling the thing. It can hold a wider and higher strip and transformers than the Mommy's Helper model by about 3/4" in either direction, which is nice. Buy this from Amazon.com!
