I like the fact that everything fits into a form fitted pouch about the size of a CD holder. At some point I'll probably use everthing in the package -- except maybe the phone cord.

The included products are high quality and I really like the USB port replicator because it's very compact. The pen with the laser pointer is useful and the USB light is too. The mouse is tiny but I prefer ANY mouse over the trackpoint or touch pads on most laptops.

3.0 out of 5 stars Superior Product... Inferior Casing., July 7, 2009

I read (in another review) that the casing was snug for most of the items, but I figured that this was not a big deal, for I'd rather have the items fit into the casing securely than have them constantly falling out.

The problem is that the case itself is extremely cheap, and the padding which is designed to hold the item in place was disconnected on the left side when I opened the case, before I even touched anything inside. Furthermore, the items were so tightly packed that it was rather difficult removing the items to test/use them without ripping the inside casing even more (it's just extremely cheap foam).

While I could have returned the item, I figured it wasn't worth it because even though the case should not have arrived with the inner packing already disconnected, chances are even a replacement wouldn't be much better given the quality of the casing itself.

All of the items within the case work fine, and it is a neat little kit that I would still recommend. I can fit these items in my own case and I simply used a bit of hot glue to secure the padding of the one that came with the device. Overall I would still recommend the product.

On the whole it feels very cheap for a sharper image product. I like several of the gadgets but not all of them. I really enjoy the Network cable and IPhone connector
