I usually like Belkin products, but I was very disappointed with this one. I was hoping it would neatly hide 3 cables over 1 yard of open space. It did, but it didn't look pretty.I tried the hot water trick to straighten out the plastic and stop it from curling at both ends. It helped a little bit, but the ends were still raised off the ground with the cables in. The double-sided tape (supplied) worked for about a day.All in all, very unhappy with the cable protector. I found a sturdier version made by ChordSavers, which is rigid and comes in a greater choice of colours including wood effects, although admittedly more expensive. In this case, you get what you pay for!Sorry Belkin, not this time.
