If you travel frequently and are in need of a surge protector, especially one that charges iPhones, then this is it — Belkin Mini Surge Protector Dual USB Charger. This one gives you three electrical outlets and two USB ports. Also comes with a 360-degree rotating plug with 4 locking position.
This unit is perfect for travel, since many hotel rooms only have one or two outlets. It will charge the iPhone, iPod, Samsung Galaxy S2, Motorola Atrix, Motorola RAZR phone, Kindle Fire, and many others. Will work with some Blackberry devices, but not all.
The Belkin Mini Surge Protector does not really have enough power to charge an iPad, and this is discouraging to some buyers. So, please take note of this. It is not completely iPad compatible. (Some claim it works with the iPad.)
That being said, this is a very practical gadget for travelers needing extra electric plugs and the capability to charge a phone also. It’s not a do-it-all piece but it gets the job done. For the low price of $11.89, this is a great deal.
If you’re going to travel internationally, then you might need this — All-in-One Travel Power Plug Adapter for US, UK, EU, A. In one convenient and easy-to-use unit, this travel adapter plugs into the power outlets of more than 150 countries.
