Pros: This thing is so USEFUL!. It is very portable, and can be used almost everywhere. The color matches almost every device I use with it. I use it mostly for my Ps3 to talk to people.
Cons: When you type, it feels like your not hitting the right keys, and that makes you feel like your hitting the wrong buttons, but your not. Sometimes you might hit the wrong key, because they aren't in the right spots. You need a flat surface to get the best out of this
Other Thoughts: Why is there such a big Caps lock that doesn't work..?
Bottomline: Overall, if you need a portable keyboard, then this is the thing for you. I highly recommend this.
Great price & idea, but poorly executed

Pros: -It's cheap
-It's fun
-It rolls up, it's easy to carry
-Liquid-proof
-Accidental food spillage proof
-USB, even my Macbook recognizes it (granted you have to do the quick and simple keyboard setup that'll pop up once you plug it in). MAC NOTES: The option and apple keys will not have a corresponding button on this
Cons: It's awkward, like the reviwer said before me, this is not for fast typists. I personally use it for my 360 to send messages but even then, the response and errors have me regretting this purchase
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: It's cheap and it's fun but the novelty wears off fast
I wouldn't get it
Nice at the price, not for coders or fast typists.

Pros: Very handy to have around as a spare keyboard and also is ideal for situations where dust and dampness is an issue. This works fine despite getting wet, and even if it does get damaged, it's not a big issue replacing it given the price is so low.
Cons: The keyboard has a really weird texture to it, especially when you pick it up. The back of it just feels odd in the hand. A bit flimsy perhaps. Also, in the area where the electronic components are enclosed, it feels a bit vulnerable. I am cautious holding it as it feels like I could be squishing something.
Also there is no SysRq which is a bit inconvenient for a linux user like myself.
Also as mentioned before, the buttons can be a bit unresponsive. You can't type quickly on it.
Other Thoughts: There are 4 shift buttons and 2 space bars. It's a bit excessive!
Bottomline: Good keyboard at a grand price.
Fun a s gimmick

Pros: - cheap
- plug and go
- nice soft feel
- easy to read letters
Cons: - unless keys pressed dead on they tend to tilt to the side which works but gives a strange "feel" to typing
- only works on a flat hard service
Other Thoughts: wipe-able but wire to keyboard join probably not waterproof.
Given the soft silicone type rubber "indestructible" is quite a stretch.
Bottomline: As a gimmick or but of fun it works well enough and I'm happy with it. It could also be a fair backup in an emergency. Not suitable for everyday use.
