Review for Belkin iPod TunebaseFM:
Great piece of kit at a good price.
Was looking for an FM Transmitter for my iPhone and had a bad experience with a cheap and nasty 'Made in China' effort which was a waste of money. Saw one of these Belkin Tunebase FM in halfords and PC world but they wanted £80 which i thought was a bit steep, considering it doesnt state its compatible with the iPhone. Had a look around the internet and found it at half the price here, took a chance and hey presto!! Put the iTouch cradle on, put it in the car, pushed the clearscan button and it works perfectly. Really pleased with this and for £40 its a good price. If you have an iPhone and want an FM Transmitter you wont go wrong with this.3

Review for Belkin TuneFM for iPod - Digital player FM transmitter / charger for car - black:
works great
I live in a community (not a commune) and we share cars here, so i can be driving any one of 15 different cars or vans. this tuner works in all of them, new cars and old cars alike, its easy to use and the sound quality is just like listening to the radio. my only complaint is that there is no stand for the ipod, which is a real hassle in some cars. I should also point out that i use a 2nd generation nano, i don't know how it works with 3rd generations.4

Review for Belkin TuneBase - FM Transmitter for iPod:
Poor build quality
These things started off being sold for about £60. By December 2007, I got one for under £20. They are now being sold here on Amazon for under £8. Wonder why ?Mine fell apart at the plug after only a couple of weeks use.

Review for Belkin iPod Classic Leather Folio - Black/Chocolate:
My first gripe was with the frivolous and, in my view, unnecessary hexagonal embossing on the front and inside. I completely missed this when looking at the on-line pictures. Perhaps I should have looked closer - for whatever reason, I just missed it. For me, it ruins the effect of an otherwise reasonably well crafted piece of leather. It could have looked like an expensive gentlemen's wallet, but instead, it looks more like a cheap Top Shop fashion purse.
Second and, to me, more important, it was described as having a magnetic closure, but the one I got has cheap and nasty Velcro. This one I really can't blame myself for. Put simply, if it had said Velcro on the product decription, I just wouldn't have bought it, so I *do* feel a bit cheated.
I could send it back but, like I say, it does work and fits reasonably well (I didn't experience the slippage with my 80Gb Classic that other purchasers did.) However, I can't imagine it'll be too long before I'm looking around for another case.

Review for Belkin iPod Classic Leather Folio - Black/Chocolate:
Not quite what I was expecting
For me this was one of those occassions where the ability to visually inspect the items before you buy would have been a plus. I ordered the folio as it looked pretty sleek and receieved good reviews. To be fair, I'm not too disappointed with it, after all, it protects my iPod which is all I bought it for.My first gripe was with the frivolous and, in my view, unnecessary hexagonal embossing on the front and inside.

Perfectly fine printer cable
Not a lot you can write about a printer cable. Belkin are the masters of covering their packaging with claims of gold contacts and superb transfer speeds, to be honest I haven't the time or the inclination to test these claims. All I can say is, I attached it to my computer, then to the printer and printed a test page, which came off fine and I've been using it ever since.The build quality is nice too, a good cable all round.

Review for Belkin Surgemaster 8 Way 2m Cable Phone/Modem and DSL Broadband Protection:
Propper Job!
Perfect solution for someone who has loads of stuff to plug in. Currently i have three external harddrives, a wireless TV receiver, my electric piano, my monitor and my printer all plugged in, and it works fine. Two of the sockets are 'swivelable', which is great for those plugs with upwards facing wires. Phone surge connectors: 1xInput 2xOutput. So i guess this works as a splitter too. Brill :DIt's solid too, so i think it will last a fair while :)
Great buy!

Review for Belkin Providence Street Laptop Case for 15 Inch Display Laptops, Ballistic Nylon:
Its tough fabric, pockets in all the right places, perfect for business or students. The shoulder strap has padding that makes it much more comfortable to carry everything.
The laptop section has a velcro band and a padded bit that adjusts to the width of your laptop (within reason).
I am very happy with this product.

Does what it should
I agree with other reviewers comments that the packaging is far too big and a complete waste, however this review section should be for the product alone so I cannot understand how others can give a low star rating when they either agree the product works fine or haven't even used it yet!On balance....it's inexpensive, works well, no problems.
Plus the box will come in handy if you move house!

Review for Belkin iPod Classic Acrylic Case - Clear:
WORTH BUYING
When I first saw this i was ready to buy it, after reading other peoples reviews else-where this is a must have. The product comes with 2 back trays one for the 80gb moela nd one for the 160gb so fits both. It protects from scrathes well and looks the part. I got mine from an amazon seller at a good price , but else where these are around £24.99 ! so worth having a look around before you buy to get a great deal- only downfall would be that the arylic does mark, and picks up surface marks- but better that than your ipod....

Review for Belkin 802.11g Wireless G USB Network Adapter for Win 98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista:
Waste of time
If you want to be able to painlessly connect to the internet via wifi... don't bother with this adapter. It is unable to connect to essential websites such as web based e-mail systems and in any case cuts out every five minutes, resetting your network connection. I think of myself as fairly computer savvy, but I haven't got time to waste fiddling around to make it work. Usb peripherals should work right out of the box. Wifi shouldn't be this difficult.14
Review for Belkin Class 2 Bluetooth USB Adapter (Version 2.0 + EDR):
It doesn't work very well at all with the Mobile phone software for my Nokia N95, Sony-Ericsson W580i or my LG Viewty. It may work with others but no joy at all with my phones therefore a useless piece of plastic to me. My old BT Dongle worked perfectly with them (sadly lost in house move)Getting returned as I type.
Disappointing Belkin :(

Review for Belkin iPod Touch Leather Folio - Cameo Pink/Chocolate:
There are few minor negatives about this product to do with the design.
One is that if your ipod is on auto-brightness, your screen will always be dark when in this case as the light sensor is covered. Another issue is that the velcro strap has to be securely attached, as if not pressed properly it only 'sticks' at one side and you can easily get fluff and all sorts from your handbag sticking to the velcro!
You do have access to all buttons of the ipod, it is secure, fashionable and your ipod fits snugly inside. Overall this is a good product, and is great in it's purpose of looking after your ipod.

Review for Belkin iPod Nano 3G Leather Folio - Black/Chocolate:
Nice product - Poor design
This cover was purchased to protect my Nano when connected to my car radio using the iPod charging and connecting cable. Subsequently the Nano just lies in the console well with all the clutter getting scratched. It is impossible to use the cover and charge the iPod at the same time. It is well made and looks good but with a little more thought could have been a perfect cover. Nowhere in the product description did it allude to the iPod cable access being covered.19
Review for Belkin iPod Classic Silicon Sleeve - 80Gb - Black:
It's difficult to get on and off, a trivial thing but irritating none the less. And believe me, you're going to be removing it as soon as the iPod no longer needs the"protection". As mentioned in previous reviews, there are problems with operating the wheel. In many cases best described as"a complete impossibility to operate". One can only imagine what went throught the designer's head as he covered the iPod's wheel, perhaps"what is the best way to inconvinience the customer?" For all its good looks, it cannot make up for the sheer impracticality and uselessness of the wheel cover, for what is the point of the sleeve if you cannot use the product contained within?
On another note, the sleeve also affords absolutely no protection to the screen. Why any producer would ever believe the wheel is more delicate than the iPod's screen is beyond me.
My suggestion is that you look elsewhere for a more practical container for your iPod, as this certainly isn't the one to buy.

Review for Belkin iPod Classic Silicon Sleeve - 80Gb - Black:
Don't judge a book by its cover...
Never has the proverb been more true than with this product. Unfortunately however, the phrase is meant negatively. The case fits the iPod perfectly, it looks good and protects the main body. However, that is the limit of its ability.It's difficult to get on and off, a trivial thing but irritating none the less.

Review for Belkin iPod Nano 3G Sport Armband - With Cable Management - Midnight Blue:
Great Armband
Fantastic item, abit tight putting in the Nano but i suppose its to keep it snug and fitted hence it wont fall out then.Really comfy and washable.
Great and reasonably priced.
Sweet fit
It fits snugly into your ipod with all ports and button accessible. It closes well and looks neat.Be aware that in the picture that flip over part that covers the screen has no strap but the one you receive will. It;s a velcro strap that holds it in place. It doesn't change it much but just makes it uneven when laying on the table. I've actually tried another site to see if they have one without a strap but i couldn't find any.
A problem for me is because i am left handed when using my left hand to navigate round the ipod touch the screen cover always flips over making it very difficult.
Overall the ipod fits in the case well and the case does the job of protecting the ipod as well as looking good.
