Pros: Excellent price for screen protectors, much better than what most stores in the US charge for them. Comes with a cleaning cloth, and protector itself is well designed.

Cons: Protector is slightly difficult to line up properly, but that is an issue with the Dare itself and not the protector. The Dare has a small intent at the top that needs to be lined up, and the screen has a small raised border all the way around. You need to make sure the protector is inside of this border or it will not stick.
The protector is not quite as clear as the more expensive ones, and there is a slight rainbow effect when looking at it in certain lighting conditions.

Other Thoughts: I was very surprised to see this pop up, as I didn't think the LG Dare would have much of an accessory market, especially overseas.
But I was pleased to find that these protectors fit the LG Dare perfectly, or at least as well as any other protector I have gotten for it. A little tip when putting the protector on; snip off the two rounded edges on the top to make it much easier to line up. If you only snip off a tiny bit, the screen will still be completely covered.

Bottomline: If you have an LG Dare, you need to get at least 5 or 6 of these screen protectors. The BULKRATE price is simply unbeatable, and the quality is more than adequate.

Pros: Very easy to setup
Looks nice for as cheap as it is
Clickable scroll wheel
Can be powered/charged via USB

Cons: Feels a little flimsy

Other Thoughts: Not much bad I can say about this mouse. While it feels a little lighter than I would like, it looks very nice and certainly works quite well. It feels very responsive, assuming your signal is good.
Tested this device under Linux using BlueZ 3.36, worked right out of the box without any special setup.
Also, while it is described as a "mini" mouse, it is actually a little bigger than my previous wired mouse. I suppose each person's definition of "mini" might be a little different, but this certainly seems normal size to me.

Bottomline: Build quality isn't the best I have seen, but overall this is probably better than I expected. It looks very professional and I can't find any serious fault in terms of performance.

Pros: Excellent price
Very small
Well supported chipset

Cons: Sticks out too far to leave in many laptops
Limited range due to small antenna

Other Thoughts: I was really hoping I could get this adapter and leave it plugged into my Eee 701 full time, but that is simply not going to happen. The body of the adapter sticks so far out from the actual USB connector that it's small rounded form factor is essentially pointless. Instead of pushing obstructions aside, the rounded edges actually act like a hook, getting the adapter stuck every time something passes along the side (like the case).
On the plus side, this adapter uses the Cambridge Silicon Radio chipset, and thus is well supported on all platforms. Had no problems using this with Linux 2.6.24 and BlueZ 3.26. In addition, this adapter had a valid MAC address, unlike some of the cheap adapters which all ship with the same MAC.

Bottomline: It is hard to be too positive about this adapter. While it works perfectly fine, the entire point of the device seems lost since it sticks so far out of the machine. Granted this effect is probably less pronounced on other machines, but for the Eee this is basically useless. If you want full-time Bluetooth on an Eee, your best bet is to open it and install one internally, or at least get one of the other small adapters sold here on DX.

Pros: Works on all iPods
Relatively cheap
Long cable
Boosts audio volume
Turns iPod On/Off

Cons: Track buttons are reversed
Slight background hiss in audio

Other Thoughts: I can't complain too much about this remote. I would have rather it been black, but beyond that my biggest gripe is that the track forward/back buttons are inverted, at least as far as logical placement goes.

I have used this mainly on my Nano 3G, where it has worked wonderfully. I was especially impressed that the forward/back buttons worked in Cover Flow. The only issue I noticed on the Nano was that the on-screen volume doesn't update when you press the buttons on the remote. Besides the Nano, I also tried this on my iPod Mini and it worked fine there as well.

This remote does turn the iPod on and off, though my Nano makes a rather nasty noise through the headphones when it comes on.

Bottomline: For as cheap as it is, it is certainly worth picking up if you don't want to have to keep taking your iPod out to change songs. It isn't the best made product I have ever used, but certainly isn't the worst either. The only problems are really just cosmetic, so if you aren't the type of person to obsess over that sort of thing, you will be very happy.

Pros: Attractive design
Small size
Very easy to use

Cons: Feels cheap
Completely inaccurate

Other Thoughts: It is hard to knock the price and design of this detector, but the sad fact is that it is simply too unreliable to do you much good. In my home with no less than 3 WiFi Access Points, it would often claim that no signal was present.

Bottomline: It felt like every second or third scan would come up negative, so if you scan a few times you can get an idea of the real situation by doing a mental average of the results. But of course it shouldn't have to be that way, you should get a reliable result every time; and you simply won't get that with this detector.

Pros: Small size
Great price
Impressive range for so small an adapter
Bluetooth 2.0 EDR
Blue LED flashes with activity

Cons: Design is a bit boxy
Lack of metal shielding on USB plug
Not really small enough to leave in laptop

Other Thoughts: I am really impressed by this little adapter. I got this hoping it would be small enough to leave in my Eee full time, which sadly it isn't. I have to knock it a bit for that, as there really isn't much point in it being so small if you still need to pull it out to put the laptop in the case.

Still, I was amazed at the range of this adapter, even compared to my traditional Bluetooth adapters. I was easily able to communicate with the phone at 30+ feet, which is considerably better than I expected considering the antenna must be the size of a grain of rice.

Another nice feature of this adapter, one that my others don't have, is that the LED flashes faster relative to what the adapter is doing. At a glance I can tell if there is a connected device or a transfer in progress (though this may be a function of how well the various chipsets are supported under Linux).

Bottomline: This is an absolutely wonderful adapter, I couldn't be more pleased. I ordered it on a whim but will now be getting a few more. This is the best adapter I have gotten from DX thus far, without question.

A final note, this adapter uses the Cambridge Silicon Radio, which should give excellent OS support. I personally tested this adapter on Linux 2.6.24 and found it to work better than my adapters with Integrated System Solution Corp radios.

Pros: Very cheap
Pen/Stylus action is smooth and impressive
Light and laser both work very well
Box and extra batteries look very professional

Cons: Goes through batteries a bit quickly
Apparently no way to refill ink
Questionable construction

Other Thoughts: While I really can't complain too much about a pen this nice for ~$4, the less than stellar build quality is somewhat of an issue. Admittedly my line of work is rather more active that most, but carrying this pen in my pocket for only a few weeks has almost completely destroyed it. Originally the front and end caps would just pop off of the center tube (which is an easy enough fix, just push it back together) but now the aluminum tube itself is now bent and distorted to the point where it barely stays together.

Bottomline: At this price, you can just buy more if you manage to break it like I did. Would make a very nice gift too; it always gets attention when I use it at work, especially the stylus, as a lot of the employees work on touch screen terminals and see the obvious benefit of a pen/stylus. Make sure you switch it over to stylus before you use it on the screen though, I made that mistake already...

Pros: Amazing value
Small size
Very attractive
Impressive features

Cons: Range quite short with my phone, audio quality starts degrading after only about 4 feet.

Other Thoughts: I am extremely impressed with this headset. I don't know if this is a OEM product or a knock-off, but if it isn't official it is certainly the best forgery I have ever seen. The headset, charger, and manual all have the Motorola logo on them; and aside from the occasional Engrish in the manual you would never suspect it might be a fake.

You can use the headset in either the right or left ear by flipping the earpiece over and setting the headset to swap the volume up and down buttons.

It has a four color LED indicator to alert you to various situations and options, QUICKLY pairs and unpairs, and can handle things like 3 way calls and call waiting with ease.

The only problem I have with this headset is the limited range. It could be my setup, but I can only move the headset a few feet from the phone before the audio starts to crackle enough to bother me. This limits the device's usefulness to a degree, but I can't really complain for the price.

Bottomline: Buy this headset, in fact, buy a few of them. I will be adding a few more to my next order.

Pros: VERY cheap
Retracts for storage
8 conductors

Cons: A bit larger than I expected

Other Thoughts: At this price, you really can't go wrong. I have paid ~$15 USD for retractable CAT5 cords in the past, so this is an incredible deal.

The only downside is that it is a bit shorter than I would have liked. I have had retractable cables much longer than this in the past, but it should be sufficient for most tasks.

Bottomline: It is worth noting that this cable has a full 8 conductors, rather than the 4 conductors found in many other retractable cables.

Very good deal, get a few of them and keep them in your laptop bag.

Pros: Impressive build quality
Excellent stripper
Unbeatable value

Cons: A little larger than I expected; punchdown tool not much better than the ones that come with keystone jacks.

Other Thoughts: I was VERY surprised by the build quality of these tools. Looking at the images I expected some cheap and flexible plastic that I could snap with my hand, but it turns out they are exceptionally well made. I have bought "real" tools that didn't feel as solid as these little things.

The wire stripper works very very well. Simply slide the wire into the appropriate indent along the arm and spin the tool around the wire. A few spins, and you can pull the jacket right off. I have stripped a few CAT 5 cables with one already, and it hasn't nicked the wires once (which is a better average than I have with my professional strippers).

Bottomline: While the strippers were great, the punchdown tool is not a whole lot better than the disposable ones you will get when you buy a keystone jack. Of course, this is really not for professional use in the first place; and is better suited for the hobbyist or emergency repair kit, so I can't knock it too hard.

If you are planning a simple wiring project, pick up this three pack instead of putting $20+ down on a tool you really don't need.

Pros: Very small
Seems fairly well built
Simple operation
Does what it says

Cons: Design is somewhat juvenile and it is a little expensive considering how simplistic it is.

Other Thoughts: This device is very simple, but it does what it is designed to. When you hold your thumb over the silver disc and press the black side to a grounded object, the charge in your body is harmlessly discharged. To indicate this, the device has a small LCD which shows a face with lighting bolts shooting out.

Bottomline: For actually working inside of electronic devices, I would suggest you use a proper grounding strap. But if you are prone to static shock or just want a neat little gadget for your keychain, this is a great buy.

Pros: VERY high build quality
Generous length

Cons: Only allows some functions of the PSP to be displayed on TV. Disables PSP speakers when connected, even if you are not actively using TV-Out.

Other Thoughts: As soon as I opened the box, I was struck with the build quality on these cables. They feel very solid, and the ends are clearly quality components. While the price is a little higher than I would like, the product is certainly made well enough that you don't feel like you were ripped off.

Bottomline: The biggest flaw with these cables is not actually the fault of the cables, but the PSP itself. When using these cables, you will only be able to display the Photo, Music, Video, and Network functions on the TV. Games (commercial UMD, homebrew, demos, anything) will NOT work. These cables are only useful for watching videos and looking at images on your television. If you want to play games on the TV, make sure you get the component cables and that your TV supports 480p.

Pros: Outstanding build quality
Wide OS compatibility

Cons: Included USB cable is short, and of questionable quality.
No power or activity LEDs

Other Thoughts: This is a very nice device to have if you work in the IT field. From connecting to a server through a null modem cable to configuring a router, there are still a number of uses for serial cables in today's world. This adapter allows you to connect to a serial device even if your motherboard doesn't have a serial port (for example, many laptops).

The build quality is very good here. it feels exceptionally solid, especially compared to some of the other cheap hardware I have bought over the years. A power/activity LED would have been nice, but not crucial.

Bottomline: Not only is this a good deal and well built, but it's chipset (Prolific PL2303) is supported in pretty much any operating system you are going to encounter.

Pros: Very cheap for an MP3 player
Easy to use interface
Status LEDs
Doubles as SD reader

Cons: Difficult to remove SD card
Very picky with batteries
Minimalistic controls
Constant audio hiss
Included headphones are horrendous

Other Thoughts: The build quality on the player is not terrible, but it still feels a little cheap (especially the battery door). You can really tell with the SD slot, which is friction based and doesn't have a spring. Once the card is in there, it is hard to get back out. Luckily the player works as a reader/writer, so you actually don't need to take it out often.

The same goes for audio quality. It isn't terrible, but there is a pretty noticeable hiss in the background. Forget the included headphones too, by the way. Not only was the audio quality sub-par, but I found them painful to wear even after a few minutes.

The only major problem I have had is with the batteries. This player seems like it really should have been made for AAs, since mine only works on the higher quality AAAs. If you put in cheap cells, it just turns itself when you try to turn it up or change tracks.

Bottomline: Aside from the battery issue, this is a good deal for the price. The interface is very easy to use, and has LEDs to let you know that it is playing. Just get yourself a decent pair of headphones and don't cheap out on the batteries, and this makes a great player for the casual listener.

Pros: Very good price
Connects directly to motherboard
Status LEDs
Very professional look

Cons: Requires floppy drive power cable

Other Thoughts: As with all flash media, you need to be aware of the limited write cycles per sector. If you are going to run an operating system from one of these, make sure you are optimizing the system for minimal disk writes.

Windows Embedded gives options as to how and when it will write to the drive, and Linux systems can be built to run out of a RAM disk so that they never even touch the storage media they are booted from.

Do NOT try and install a stock OS to a Compact Flash card; you will only be causing yourself some headaches a few months down the road.

Bottomline: This unit is a little more expensive then the other version sold here on DX, but it is certainly nicer as well. The status LEDs and the fact that this doesn't require an IDE cable are worth the extra price alone. This does however take the power cable from your floppy drive; so make sure that your PSU actually has the floppy connector, and that you aren't already using it.

Pros: VERY cheap
Works under any OS
Small size

Cons: Not a direct replacement for a hard drive

Other Thoughts: These adapters are great for using solid state storage in machines and devices that were designed for IDE. When using this adapter, your CF card is indistinguishable from a standard IDE storage device (since CF is really just a re-pinning of the ATA interface), but that doesn't mean you should use it as if it was a traditional hard drive. Compact Flash cards (like all flash memory) have a limited amount of write cycles per sector; repeated write operations will eventually render that sector useless, and with time, the entire card.

Bottomline: Using this device properly is very important to maintain your CF card. For example, installing a stock operating system directly onto a CF card using this adapter is a very bad idea.

If you want to run Linux from this device, then build it into a RAM disk and use this adapter to simply hold the image. You can then boot the compressed image into RAM and run from there, bypassing the CF altogether.

If you are using Windows, use Windows Embedded and configure it to minimize writes as much as possible.

With proper configuration and use, this adapter should work for years with a good quality Compact Flash card.

Pros: Fairly cheap
Has rumble
Supports GBA ROMs
Works with homebrew and Opera

Cons: Requires SLOT 1 card to function
Limited RAM
No documentation
Doesn't match Onyx DS Lite

Other Thoughts: This device is a good deal, if you have a use for it. Basically, this device provides homebrew DS software (and the DS browser) extra RAM. This can be useful for DSLinux, for example.

In addition, you also get a rumble function (works with all commercial games that support rumble) and the ability to write a GBA ROM to it's RAM and run it. This gives you basic GBA ROM support, which is either a pain to use or marginally acceptable, depending on your SLOT 1 card. It isn't a replacement for a true GBA flash card, at any rate. The same goes for the Opera browser. Some SLOT 1 cards (like the Cyclo Evolution) can autopatch a clean Opera ROM to use the 3 in 1, others require you to manually patch the ROM to match your SLOT 2 device. Though in either event, it works fine.

Also, while this doesn't match the color of the Onyx DS Lite (this is a matte black, rather than a gloss) it matches the Crimson and Black DS almost exactly.

Bottomline: This device can be used with homebrew software, but only has half the RAM of the Supercard. If your goal is to run DS Linux, you might be better off with a more advanced SLOT 2 device so that you have more RAM and removable storage. Still, it fits into the DS Lite, and is cheaper than anything else on the market.

Pros: Great price
Attractive design
Good range
EDR Compatible
Small
Works under Linux

Cons: Build quality is not great, but at this price, I can't complain.

Other Thoughts: I bought this adapter to just play around with on my computer. I was able to get this working immediately under Linux and had no problem doing file transfers with my phone or connecting to my Wii Remotes. I got it working under Windows eventually too, but it was not a pleasant experience (though to be fair, that is Window's fault for having useless BlueTooth support). I plan to buy a few more to take apart and install internally in my computer and Eee. The PCB is very small and the case just unsnaps, so it is a good candidate for some hacking.

Bottomline: You really can't go wrong at this price. Might be a good choice if you are planning a mod/project around BlueTooth.
