Pros: By far this is the best flashkart out there for the DSi. Had to upgrade the firmware on it first though so I recommend you borrow a friend's Ds lite to make it compatible with the new 1.4 update. Also with the release of the AKAIO update this thing is near perfect now so I can call this a sound investment for the price you're paying for
 
Cons: The sticker started to peel on the kart after a few days, so I took it off, which was a dumb idea cause it left behind a really sticky mess on it. other than that it's gold.
 
Other Thoughts: What else is there to say? If you're looking at it you already know what its for, so GET IT!
 
Bottomline: Buy it, unlock your DSi's full potential ;)

a dang good card for its value,

Pros: Supports 16GB SDHC(so far 10GB used)
Works
Accesses roms quickly
There are many different skins that you can install.
I haven't installed the AKAIO firmware yet, but I hear its better than the AceKard firmware.
 
Cons: Feels Flimsy
Hard to put the microSD card into it.
Hard to take the microSD card out of it too.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: I've only had this a couple of days, but it works well and is as described. Games save and are accessed quickly. All in all, this is a good device and very useful.
I may be buying another one. This does feel a bit flimsy so I'm not sure how much I can play with it before it falls apart.
It comes in a cardboard box that contains only the card and instructions.
