Kensington Travel Winder Cable for KTGadp
It works, but it could be better.
(Note: This is an updated version of the review I first posted in April.  Two months later, I've had more experience with the product and I now feel that 3 stars is more appropriate than 2.) <br /> <br />The Travel Cable Winder is certainly an improvement over regular power cables that tend to get all tangled up . As you'd expect, one end connects to the Kensington power adapter and the other end connects to your device. The wind-up case sits in the middle, and you turn the handle to retract the cable into the case when it's not needed. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, this winder has one major flaw: There's no way to lock the cable in place once it's been wound into the case. The handle is very loose and an accidental pull on the cable will release quite a bit of cable. Even worse, there's so little resistance that the cable falls out by the force of gravity alone: If you pick up the winder while it's still attached to the power adapter, the whole cable unwinds itself. <br /> <br />The winder works better if you disconnect it from the power adapter every time and keep the handle in its down position (where it doesn't move as easily), but that gets to be a hassle after a while. <br /> <br />Essentially, the product works and it does what it's supposed to do, but I wish Kensington put a little more thought into the design.  That said, however, I definitely prefer it over the standard power cables and would not hesitate to buy it again if I had another power adapter. <br /> <br />(One last note:  Remember that this only works with Kensington power adapters and Kensington SmartTips.  It's NOT a generic/standard power cable, so don't get one unless you have compatible Kensington accessories.)
