Ummm, WTF? My understanding of most basic surge protectors is that they will just become an outlet extension once the surge protection runs its course. More premium surge protectors come with a green light indicator to let users know whether or not their devices are still protected. I've never seen a power strip that has surge protection marketed to "stop power to devices when surge protection expires". Does this just stop working altogether once it reaches its surge protection capacity? If that is how the product works with only 720 joules of protection, they should keep this product at this price or lower because it will just be completely useless if you happen to use it somewhere that surges may be even relatively common.

It's also best not to rely upon a surge protector device for USB charging purposes. The usefulness and quality are generally substandard (as compared with a separate, higher quality USB charger).
When it comes to surge protectors, avoid cheap, "dime a dozen" generics such as this and stick with name brands! Here's something to consider. It's just a few bucks more and actually very inexpensive (for a better quality, safer and more reliable name brand product). There are upgraded "APC" models as well (if your needs vary).

It's actually better to use a name brand, inexpensive surge protector (such as the APC above), since basic power strips are typically of lesser quality (and less safe)!
Additionally, the majority of these types of devices have some level of surge protection (even if it's basically useless), simply because it gets more attention and sells better!
Need a low profile plug for an outlet behind a dresser.
Don't care if the humidifier plugged into it doesn't have the highest level of surge protection, lol
