Just an FYI... Everything at Belkin's website is 50% off until September 30. Just use the checkout code "FB50".
We love our customers, and apparently you love us too! But due to overwhelmingly high traffic, our website is currently down. We are working as quickly as possible to have it back online, but it may take a few days to fully resolve. We are sorry for the inconvenience. But don't fret - our 50 percent off promotion runs through September 30, so you have until the end of the month to take advantage of the deal.
