Review for Belkin Headphone Adaptor and Remote Control for iPod Shuffle:
works fine...
This works fine, no longer have the earphones falling out of my Not Made for iPod ears...it would be better if it were a bit longer so that the controls are further away from the iPod itself though. If you have the iPod in an inside pocket of your running shorts you're running the risk of getting arrested for indecency every time you skip a tune.4

Quality cable at at a great price
Can't say too much exciting about a cable. Does exactly what it should without any problems whatsoever. The seller was faultless with very quick and secure delivery. Highly recomended. Why is it that printer manufacturers don't include a lead with their machines anymore? At these prices it can't be cost?5
Review for Belkin PRO Series Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Device Cable - USB cable - 4 PIN USB Type A (M) - 4 PIN USB Type B (M) - 3 m ( USB / Hi-Speed USB ):
This has in-turn twice caused things to disconnect whilst transferring data, in the worst case whilst I was backing up my Laptop to an external drive. This caused my back-up to fail and also corrupted my external dive and I lost all my previous back-up data.
I may have a one off bad cable, but I would recommend that if you get one of these and fit it to anything and it seems to be loose.. Don't precede to use it!

Review for Belkin Neoprene Messenger Bag for Netbooks up to 12.1-Inch Jet/Cabernet:
Regardless of the specified maximum 17 inch it perfectly fits my dell studio 17.3 inch laptop with dimensions - 41.5 x 28 x 4cm, however if you have this laptop with a big battery like mine (making the back end 6cm thick)you must put it in front first to fit.
I wouldn't recommend any laptop wider than 41.5cm, other dimensions have plenty more space.

Review for Belkin NOTEBOOK CUSHTOP CASE * CHOCOLATE W/TOURMALINE:
What a good idea this is. It is highly practical and absolutely perfect for the purpose for which it is intended. No longer does my laptop slide about on my knees or, worse, on a cushioned tray! It sits nicely, at the correct angle for typing and viewing, and cables fit inside the open interior if you are using them. It also keeps the heat from the machine off my legs - and anyone with an old Dell laptop will know just what I mean!

Cheap...but so far useless
I plugged this into my brand new DELL desktop (Windows 7) and it crashed it, with a blue screen! May try it on my XP laptop if I can be bothered. Would have sent it back, but for the fact I ripped the packaging while opening it.13
Review for Belkin 17 Inch Messenger Laptop Bag - Jet/Cabernet:
I'm a student and bought the bag to carry my laptop to the library, however, annoyingly I need to take another bag with me as I struggle to fit even a pad of paper in as well.
It is good for flights, where it is thin and versatile. However, as mentioned, I struggle with it's carrying space.
My boyfriend has the 15inch black and red one, which he also finds is very limited on space.

Review for Belkin 17 Inch Messenger Laptop Bag - Jet/Cabernet:
Good laptop bag
This laptop bag is perfect for my 16 inch laptop. It is a great bag, really strong and cushioned enough to prevent bumps on your laptop. The only quarm is that the space inside is limited. It barely fits my charger. The pouch they provide for your charger cable is a good idea, but i struggle to fit mine in, and when I do, the pouch takes up my whole bag!I'm a student and bought the bag to carry my laptop to the library, however, annoyingly I need to take another bag with me as I struggle to fit even a pad of paper in as well.

Review for Belkin Pro Series VGA Monitor Replacement Cable 5m:
Ok, its not 'the end of the world' bad but I would not recommend it to anyone using it to connect to a monitor or TV if they plan to READ anything from the screen.
Another reviewer here has said that from looking at all the other reviews it appears to not work on monitors but seems ok with TVs. I tried with both and it produces ghosting on both (a bit less on the TV). Perhaps those who used it with the TV were sitting further than about 4 feet from the screen, in which case its not too obvious.
I tested it on my Dell desktop and it produced ghosting with two faint images to the right of the original. It makes it harder to read text and I am sure it will give people a headache. The original cable that came with my computer does not cause any problem when used in exactly the same place, near all the other cables. Other reviews elsewhere have said to move it away from other cables but that does not seem to work too. This Belkin cable does not have the 'Ferrite core'/'Induction shield blob' in it. However, from what other reviewers say, some cables from other manufacturers do not seem to suffer without it.
With an LG TV the image seemed a bit better, one of the two extra ghost images was harder to spot. (Perhaps the TV is processing the signal, but that is just a guess since I dont know what happens.) Text was a bit blurred but video seems alright. With movement in videos, the ghosting will not be apparent. Since I bought it primarily to watch videos on the TV, it is enough.
So there it is, it is acceptable for videos but definitely not good for text. Use a better cable if you want to read from the screen. People who bought this: Fisual Pearl VGA Male To VGA Male Cable - 2m seem to be happy with it and no hint of ghosting they say (wish I had gone for the 4m version of this). Amazon has it in a variety of lengths, so you have choices :-). For those of you that still want a Belkin one, have a look at this one: Belkin Pro Series High Integrity VGA/SVGA Monitor Replacement Cable 5m (also available in different lengths)
Thumbs up for Amazon, it was delivered ahead of time, as always. These guys work too hard. Well done, keep it going.

Review for Belkin 4.8M USB Extension Cable:
Does what it says on the tin - ideal
I've been considering a wireless printer/wireless usb adapter for a while now, as my laptop's generally at the other end of the room to the printer. This sorts that problem easily and effectively, for a fraction of the cost. I bought an additional lead to connect to my external hard drive, so that can also sit somewhere permanently. There's no discernible loss of speed, and the cables & connections are robust and well designed. A great product.Delivery was 2 days later than promised.

Review for Belkin Surgemaster 8 Way 2m Cable Phone & Modem Protection:
As far as protection goes... the mains is stable in London, so I haven't been able to put it to the test and to be honest, I don't want to.
The 4 stars is because of the on/off switch --> It only takes a fly to land on it to switch everything off. So be careful where you place it and make sure a cable won't switch it off.

Belkin Hub
Stylish and well designed hub that really is USB2 (many claim USB2 but in reality are USB1. The blue light adds to the style and may be a security risk as my son has tried on more than one occasion to acquire the hub from me! The spacing of the ports are spaced in such a way as to enable 4 devices to be fitted - some products claim 4 ports but space sockets in such a way as to prevent connection of 4 devices.

Size problem
I have no problem with the quality of this product - it's fine.There's an issue over sizes, though. A previous reviewer could not get his 10" netbook into the sleeve - mine is the opposite, and much too big for my 11.6" Toshiba. Will keep it, however, as it's perfect for my 13.3" Macbook.
