Reddit reviews Belkin BST300 3-Outlet USB Surge Protector w/Rotating Plug– Ideal for Mobile Devices, Personal Electronics, Small Appliances and More (918 Joules)

I have a 3:1 grounded electrical outlet adapter I bought for $3 at a hardware store a few years ago that I keep in my laptop bag.

It is super convenient when using public transportation. All you have to do is ask people to share their outlet.

And on that note: holy hell I need one of these. http://amzn.com/B00ATZJ5YS

This is what i used, it will make you more popular

Said this before but if you are at a hostel extra chargers, iPhone and android wires and this bad boy ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ATZJ5YS/ ) can make you best of friends with your hostel mates.

Of course each situation is different, but I am pretty sure I left my mini-surge protector plugged in by the TV the whole time. I looked at some "Cruise Critic" forum posts and they seemed to indicate a dislike for power cords (extension cords, power strips, etc) because of the fire hazard, but no cord should mean no problem. A few posts even suggested the Belkin because of that.

How many outlets do you need? There are a few in the regular room: by the desk, by the bed, there was an iDevice dock that my wife used to charge her iPhone, I think another in the loo. There should also be some "international" outlets that can work with an adapter.

What do you expect on a boat? The connection back to land isn't great or cheap. If you are just trying to communicate amongst devices, why not use a wireless router to make your own WLAN?

Mac are computers are PCs too.

One of these to plug into the seat outlet, or one of these If you have more devices that need a plug.

Audio Books

A hard copy book/novel (or two).

Stay up all night prior if you want to try to sleep on the plane.

Belkin makes a mini surge protector that converts a single US 3-prong outlet into 3 outlets plus 2 more USB charging-only ports. The 3 prongs also rotate to help make it fit in oddly spaced areas.

I fly over 40 weeks a year and attend conferences, so that adapter has saved me plenty. Although there was one time when I was sharing with two other random people and had to unplug them both when I was leaving but they were not!

Maybe this?

Any recommendations on a cordless power strip without surge protection? I took this with me two years ago and no one said anything (couldn't use it anyway, cause it has a blank prong for a second outlet): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MU49AAO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kTWyCbSPHYREM

Regarding your last point, it's always a good idea to bring a compact power strip with you when travelling. Something like this or this, though you may need a 3-prong to 2-prong converter for some places in Japan. They are great for nights when you have to charge multiple devices and make you a hero at airports.

> Power strip

I prefer one with USB ports - like https://smile.amazon.com/Belkin-3-Outlet-SurgePlus-Protector-BST300/dp/B00ATZJ5YS/ ... I travel with one of these about 50% of the time. It is awkwardly blocky but useful.

I have both a battery and a mini 3 way outlet adapter in my bag for exactly this, sharing is caring

This one

Here's a handful of things a lot of new folks neglect:

Read reviews of the departure port (e.g., Ft. Lauderdale or Boston). Some ports are a pain to get to, get in and out of, and have little amenities (seats, bathrooms, parking, HVAC). If your cruise is slightly delayed due to customs or whatever, it can make the start of your trip miserable.

Cruise.com offers some of the best deals and bonuses out there.

As for viruses, wash your hands, be defensive regarding personal contact with strangers, door handles, elevator buttons, and use the hand sanitizer wherever available. Cruises are no better or worse than airlines or college dorms, in the sense that you get a diverse group of people together and people are bound to get sick, but a little prevention goes a long way.

Don't overpack. Take advantage of laundry deals onboard mid-week if you're worried about running out of clothes (often $20 for all you can fit in a paper laundry bag).

Consider getting something like the Belkin 3-Outlet Surge Protector. Rooms on ships have limited outlets, and having power plugs and USB plugs is really useful if you have phones, cameras, ebooks, whatever.

Do the math on drink packages ahead of time (wine, alcohol, or soda), and remember that 15% gratuity is tacked on to all purchases. Sometimes the packages can be worth it, but you may find out you have to drink a lot to break even.

Consider trying traditional cruising first...set dining times, the same servers all week, getting dressed appropriately. Yeah, it may seem a little odd, but it's good to know if you do/don't like it before you pursue a non-traditional approach like Norwegian.

Be careful not to buy drinks in "souvenir" glasses...it's costs you several dollars more and you'll likely not actually want them (some people do, though).

Check out cruisecritic.com for bunches of info.

Don't be shy about exploring the ship and telling people you're a first-time cruiser. You'll get plenty of advice - some of which may actually be useful!

A warning: Once you go for a balcony room, you'll never go back to porthole / interior room again. That said, interior rooms are awesome for sleeping, since you'll never see the light of day.

Don't expect to spend a ton of time in your room, so don't worry about the room quality too much.

Room service (barring certain items) is still free/included and nearly 24-hours on most cruise lines. Order breakfast on a port-day will not get you off the ship faster...going to the buffet or dining room is almost always faster.

Don't be shy about dinner seating...sit with other people...you may meet some interesting folks...that said, don't be shy about asking to be moved if they're complete jerks.

Snow snow go away.

Bring one of these.

I got the idea from this thread a while back.

I used to have it like that, them I started to hate the booting sound. Now I have a small surge suppressor with USB power outlet behind the screen. No more booting sound.

I carry one of these in my laptop bag at all times, not just when I travel.

Balloons are fun ! :D I think we should both be gifted something useful, such as this power outlet. I don't know about you, but I know I always lose those USB blocks haha. I hope your birthday is wonderful <3

This is the best one.

Replacing bc old outlet lost its grip.

So then this on top

And this on bottom outlet should be ok?

Confirmed. I use it for travel.

It sounds like you're wanting to mount a wall outlet + USB outlet into your table, and then run a cord from the table to the wall outlet, right? I'm considering doing this for a project as well and am definitely going to use a usb wall outlet, and then strip an extension cord (or get one of those fancy braided fabric cords), to run from the table to the wall. It will require wiring, but I figure that's an important skill to learn, as I can add similar outlets all kinds of places like my computer desk, workbench, or the wheeled kitchen island. There are lots of guides out there, and even though it's new to me, I'm sure it can be learned if I put some time into it. I'm getting over the fear of cutting my fingers off in woodworking by learning best practices and learning respect for the tools, I can do the same with electricity (and zapping my whole self, not just my fingers).

I'll also be able to add light switch boxes to homemade gizmos like on all of Matthias' machines. I really like how he has set up one switch to turn on both his sander and dust collector!

If you're hell-bent against wiring, you could try something like one of these travel surge protectors, mine has been good to me for years worth of use, but I feel like the trouble of mounting this elegantly would be much more hard work than learning to wire an outlet!

my recommendation would be to grab a surge protector and an adapter. That's what I usually do. I used to use this one. adapter It swivels, but my button it was really stiff. Also the plug doesn't fold down which irritated me a bit and I swapped it out for one that did. Edit: This one looks better. It has only two ports, but surge protection and a 3000mah battery which is cool. I think I'm going to grab one to replace my monster strip.

I use this and love it

you could also for about the same price as USB receptacles get a small 3-4 outlet power strip with USB outlets build in. As a bonus they usually are also surge suppressors.

I always carry this with me.

Replace her charger for your own and promptly make eye contact. And without breaking, slide that motherfucker as far away from you as you can. Making sure not to toss it at someone else's feet. Perhaps under some furniture.

EDIT: I travel a bit. And travel power strips will make you the most popular person in the terminal. (NOTE:Write your name on it or some identifying mark)

Strongly recommend the Belkin 3-outlet 2.1A power strip. It comes with two USB ports, is very compact, and comes with a pivoting head so you can fit it into any outlet situation. Please be careful to get the 2.1A model, especially if you have a tablet. Double check, but most electronics now are dual voltage and will be marked 110-240V to indicate that. Phone/laptop/tablet/camera chargers, electric toothbrush, etc. are commonly dual voltage. If you find that you only have, say, an electric razor that needs US juice, you're probably better off replacing the razor. Just get a plug adaptor, which will cover you in Western Europe except for UK and Switzerland. The simpler the plug adaptor, the better it will hold, as the multi-country ones have lots of internal prongs that you don't need.

I really wouldn't be playing games on the plane. More for doing some light productivity (Word, Excel, Visual Studio) or possibly videos, but for videos I have the iPad with 8-ish hours battery life.

For any real work or gameplay, you're correct I'd be tethered to a wall.

Flying Virgin America though, they have the power outlets next to every seat, even in coach, so there's that. I'm not sure how many other airlines have that.

You can definitely eke out another 30-60 minutes by dropping the brightness quite a bit. Windows 10 makes this easy with the Action Center where there is a shortcut to cycle through display modes.

Basically, if you can wait, wait. As with most tech, the model you buy is always obsolete a few months later.

I always carry a portable Belkin 3-Outlet mini-surge protector (Amazon link) in my backpack. That way, if the power outlet at the airport or coffee shop is in use, I ask one of the people plugged in if I can interrupt their work for a few seconds to add the surge protector and get myself some juice.

If you really need a mobile productivity machine, I'd say wait for the new MacBooks which Apple should release soon. They'll get 8 hours of battery life easily, however for gaming they may not be optimal. I think the current MacBooks are using nVidia, so there's a small chance they switch to AMD for the next round as they seem to flip flop now and then between refreshes. Ideally, nVidia releases the GTX 1050 and Apple actually uses them.
