Reliable power on the go!
I really love having this portable surge protector for travel and daily carry. It's small enough to fit easily into my regular laptop bag. The built in USB ports are convenient for charging small devices, and having 3 grounded plugs have saved the day when I've been working with colleagues near a single outlet. The only thing to be cautious about is using this 3 outlet protector with an overseas outlet converter. It's only intended to plug in to US-style wall outlets.

Travelr3 is a must have travel surge protector.
If you travel for business the two must have devices are a power inverter and the Traveler 3 USB surge protector from Tripp-Lite. Travel devices and accessories are typically designed by people/companies who do not understand what features are important to business travelers who spend significant time working in airports, planes, rental cars and hotels. Tripp-LiteÃ?s Traveler 3 USB travel surge protector has useful design features that make it an effective travel tool that I have found to be indispensible. The Traveler 3 is small, just 3.5Ã? x 4.75Ã?, with a streamlined plastic design that reduces the weight to less than 8 ounces. It has an 18 inch power cord (not a fold out prong) with a right angle plug that provides a low profile and tight charging connection to limited access outlets. Outlet height is 18Ã? from the floor so the heavy duty power cord allows the weight of the cables and devices to be on the floor, not on the plug, so it wonÃ?t fall out of the wall. There are 120V outlets on both sides that accommodate oversized charging adaptors and the 3 surge protected outlets (total) will convince the person hogging the only outlet in the gate area to share it with you. There is an LED diagnostic light that conveniently confirms if there is power from the outlet so you donÃ?t waste time trying to use a dead outlet. When you are finished the 18Ã? cord and right angle plug wraps around the sides and fits neatly into a concealed space. There are flaws and areas for improvement on the Traveler 3. The Mini USB cable provided is outdated and so few devices use it that it is unnecessary. The USB charging ports output is rated at 1 amp but in reality it is too low (less than 500 mAh) to be recognized by most devices so nothing will charge on any of the replacements Tripp-Lite has sent me. The 3 prong plug needs an 2 prong adapter for international travel. Overall though the key design features of the Traveler 3 USB outweigh any deficiencies or flaws and make this a reliable and productive travel accessory for the professional business traveler. Pros: Compact size and light weight. 120VAC outlets on both sides of surge protector (3 total) for charging multiple devices Accommodates larger transformer charging plugs 18 inch power cord for access to outlets with restricted access. Right angle plug wonÃ?t fall out of worn out outlets. Power cord wraps around device when not in use. Diagnostic LED confirms power availability and warns of wiring problems. Cons: USB charging ports insufficient to charge devices (output (less than 500mAh). Mini USB cable used by very few devices. Needed Improvements: USB ports (2) rated output at 1.0 Amp and 2.1 Amps. Shorter USB cable (6Ã?-12Ã?) with 3 way Ã?hammerhead styleÃ? adapter with Mini USB / Micro USB / Apple Lightening connectors. International model with Global 2 prong plug and 100V-240V compatibility. Carry case with pocket for USB cable and Velcro retaining strap for surge protector

Great but could be better.
It would be great if this was available in 24 inches, long enough to help with distance, not just extra plugins. Other than the short cord, I love it.

Exactly what I needed for travel!
More and more hotels have one grounded outlet located at the base of a lamp next to the bed, and the travel surge protector I have used in the past would not fit given the direction of the outlet plug. As a result, I had to move the nightstand, unplug the lamp and/or the clock, plug in my surge protector, then have to reverse all of that when I checked out. Now, the Protect It! 3-Outlet Travel-Size Surge Protector 18-in. Cord 1050 Joules 2-USB Charging Ports allows me to easily use the one outlet at the base of the lamp without any additional effort. It works great and has all I need - multiple outlets and USB charging ports for my phone and iPad. The unit also stores nicely, so it is compact to pack in my carry on luggage. I couldn't be happier!

Compact & Awesome
I travel throughout the year and in some airports it's difficult to find an unused power outlet. This allows me to use a power outlet along with two other travelers. The USB outlets are great since I can also charge my iPhone without having to connect it to my laptop.
If you travel, this is compact so it doesn't take up the space of a power strip.

PERFECT FOR MY APPLICATION
This small surge protector is perfect for my application:
1. It is small and fits the space I had available.
2. It has a short cord so I don't have to work at hiding or coiling a long cord.
3. It has excellent energy dissipation (1050 Joules).
Recommend if you have similar needs.

The right choice
I travel quite a bit for a living. This unit is the proper choice for charging and protecting expensive electronics on the go. Compact and easy to transport. The 18" cord allows me to plug it into any hotel outlet configuration where the bar type protectors may have difficulty. The USB is extremely convenient for charging devices that are USB charge only.

Quality Surge Protector Perfect for Travel
Finally, a quality surge protector that was designed specifically for travel. It is small enough to stuff into any suitcase or bag. The unique way the plug stores prevents damage to other objects in your suitcase. My primary usage for this device is to protect my sensitive electronics while travelling. Secondarily, I find that many hotels have worn-out outlets and my cords either fall out or do not make good electrical contact. The Protect It allows me to leverage a good outlet for multiple devices. I own many Tripp Lite products and expect this to last forever. In the event of issues, Tripp Lite offers something unique... a Lifetime warranty!

Tripp-Lite Mobile Surge Protector
I should have read the specs more closely or asked questions about the device. The plug takes up both spaces on a duplex wall outlet because it is fixed in a down position that must be plugged in the top outlet. The cord very cleverly wraps around the device when packed for travel. But, the cord is so short (about 18 inches that the device can’t reach a table top next to the wall when plugged into a wall outlet 15 inches above the floor (common height).

After trying to use this charger several times and in several places, we threw it away. It blew the circuits in Italy. So then we thought - whoops, must be only for US electricity. Got back to US and tried it again. Same result. BAM—blew the circuit. Since I had tossed the box, I threw it away. Don’t buy this surge suppressor!!!

anytime i head out of the house with computer in hand, i take this surge protector with me. You never know what or how dependable the power source is you're using to power your valuable equipment. Simply can't afford to have my equipment get fried out there. And the usb charging ports are a bonus. The joules protection was nearly double the next competition's rating was, and nearly at the same price. no brainer.

My only constructive criticism is the shape of the unit. Did you really need to give it a hour-glass shape?
it's a waste of space as it takes up more room in already crowded suitcase.

Solidly built
Love the update to the USB ports. I had the previous version with lower amperage. One improvement would be some type of 90 degree adapter for the plug or a swivel. I had to plug into a strip at a customer site recently where the outlets were mounted such that the cord extended parallel, which required me to find two empty outlets so I could bend the cord out of the way.
