Jeremy Horwitz, Editor-in-Chief at iLounge:

“We were especially impressed with Belkin’s lineup, which combined both practical and innovative accessory ideas with great industrial designs. With rare exception, Belkin puts more thought into its niche iPod products than most companies put into their supposed showstoppers.”
