Pros: -Mine was a dark blue color +1!
-Easy and quick to inflate
-Textured surface - suede like.
-Prevents a 'crick' in one's neck due to excessive bending.
-Simple to use - follows the KISS rule - keep it simple, stupid!
Cons: -Odor characteristic of new vinyl. Some people are sensitive to it.
-Excess flaps of plastic - easily trimmed.
-Your friends will wake you up and ask you where you got it!
Other Thoughts: I commute to work 1 hr each way in a 15-passenger van. When there are > 10 passengers we sometimes sit 3 to a bench seat, and it's impossible to lean back and take a nap - until I got this little pillow. Now I can nap while sitting up, and my neck is in a more natural position!
Bottomline: Buy it if you're planning to travel or if you have a long commute and want to take a nap.
Does what it's supposed to. Awesome

Pros: -Does exactly what it's supposed to
-Perfect for office lunch time naps
-Better than laying your head on your desk or trying to sleep under your desk
-Easily and quickly deflated before the boss comes in
-Does not leak air at all
-CHEAP IN PRICE
Cons: -There is a slight discomfort on the back part for your neck. The back flap kind of stabs you int eh back of the neck, not enough to leave marks but it is uncomfortable. I fixed this by cutting it and taping over the sharp parts
Other Thoughts: Besides the above mentioned modification it will take a few weeks to get that "New plastic smell" out of the pillow. But that happens with expensive ones as well.
Bottomline: Pretty good if you're like me and you have a long commute to work and prefer to sleep for an hour rather than taking lunch. It's well priced however does take a little simple modification for maximum comfort. Definitely beats resting my head on the back rest of my chair which causes something I like to call "Open Face Sleep". I highly recommend this product.
If you like to rest your neck... buy this

Pros: Very nice bordeaux colour. Good construction and excelent design.
No bull*** air noozle. Just a simple safety blow and it is done.
Cons: Could have a way to chose the colour. Apparebtly it can be found in blue.
The need for 500 words is really boring
Other Thoughts: Nice and usefull for everibody, young or aged, that has a bad back or neck and needs to relax for a while.
It is very confy and smooth. Not very warm finishing.
Bottomline: Excelent product with unbeatable price. The design is innovative with the small cushion support for the back of your neck. It really makes a difference ion your confort.
Amazing price and product

Pros: Nice, easy to inflate.
- Fairly comfortable, doesn't really pinch the neck like some other inflatable pillows.
- Compresses WAY down when you deflate it, making it very nice for travel.
I've seen these available recently at local retailers for similar prices -- would be nice if DX could negotiate a better price for these. Still not a bad price thought.
If you do a lot of travel (especially in economy class flights), it's a really nice solution, when compared to the mediocre pillows most airlines give you. Buy it well before you fly though so you'll have it for the trip though :)
Cons: Cons: - There's a little seam between the U-shaped neck part and the extension that goes behind the head. This seam has some extra fabric that's supposed to cover it, but it always folds upwards and just causes trouble.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Great value of money. Amazing and Very Usefull product for travellers.
