Pros: The glue is actually quite good for the price, it hardens totally in maybe one hour, but I suggest letting it harden for some hours if possible.
Cons: It smells a lot, use only in a well ventilated area! I think they smell a lot more than "expensive" glue but I don't think it's a problem if you use it in a ventilated area. The top caps are really bad. It's not really possible to tighten them enough. Maybe they differ from batch to batch but mine were not any good so I put the tubes in a tigh plastic bag. The good thing with two-component adhesive is that it doesn't harden by itself.
Other Thoughts: This is a product that you should buy even if you don't need it at the moment.
Bottomline: Cheap and OK quality epoxy.

Pros: This is a nice case if you want to keep your w880i in good condition. It prevents the phone from getting scratched and may be good if the phone falls to the ground. It has also suitable openings for the dock connector, speaker, camera, buttons and so on.
Cons: The keys are really quite hard to use with this thanks to the plastic pieces which cover the keys. It would be better without them I think. And it is not silicone buttons as the title says, it's hard plastic, but you can cut the bits off so it is not a big problem.
Other Thoughts: I think the phone looks to good to be covered with this :) But it is better to keep this on than to scratch/break the phone.
Bottomline: Quite useful to protect your phone.

Pros: These are really cheap! Some of them didn't point to the north, not even near, but some were actually quite exact! You can even turn them a little bit to the side, they don't need to be on a perfectly flat surface.
Cons: Some of them did not point to the north. Actually about 5 of them pointed really somewhere else. The build quality could be better.
Other Thoughts: These are quite fun and really small. Could be used in some projects or as a small gift.
Bottomline: Buy these if you want small compasses. It is maybe not so smart to use them for navigation but otherwise they are ok.

Pros: This is good when you need to seal plastic bags. You will get 100% airtight seals with it. Keep food fresh or make a professional-looking heat seal to something you have made yourself, to give to somebody.
Cons: In the beginning it was a little bit hard to make good seals, you need to be careful so that you don't keep the sealer on the same place for a too long time, or the plastic will melt and there will be just holes, and not a tight seal! But when you learn the tecnique it is quite easy to use.
Other Thoughts: I haven't seen a product like this in so many places before this. The price is low so you can buy it just to test it.
Bottomline: Good quality plastic bag heat sealer. Buy this and make perfect seals on your plastic bags. A little hard to use in the beginning but you get used to it. Worked nicely with alkaline AA batteries.

Pros: Use this to put two ethernet cables with RJ45 connectors together, to one long cable. This is useful in many situations so even if you don't need one, it could be good to have one or tho in spare.
Cons: The build quality could be better. It does its job but I havent tested the transfer speeds. It is like 3 times lighter than another known brand one I've bought in another shop, off course that doesn't automatically say it is bad quality but it feels a bit cheep, but hey, it does its job and it IS cheap :)
Other Thoughts: Buy this if you need to extend ethernet cables. Or buy it for the future, you never know when you need one. Well it would maybe look better if it was black or white but thats not a big deal, and you can always paint it.
Bottomline: Really cheap ethernet RJ45 cable extender.

Pros: This is a nice looking dragon sticker for your cell phone or other device. It has good glue so it will stay firmly on the phone. The sticker is made on Avery plastic sticker paper which is good quality!
Cons: Well this is just a sticker, but it is made of plastic so it is good quality and will stay on the phone. If you don't want the silver part from the sticker you have to cut it yourself, using a sharp knife. The smallest part could be a bit hard to cut.
Other Thoughts: Nice looking dragon sticker for your cellphone. Gives the phone a nice cool look.
Bottomline: Put this on the back of your cell phone or on your laptop case to make it look a lot better! It is just a simple sticker but it looks nice and doesn't cost too much.

Pros: This is really cheap! A similar would cost me like 5 times more in a local shop! This also fits Acer Aspire One, some people have reported it does not fit but mine fits, it is quite tight but there is anyway enough room for the zippers to close and I think they wont scratch it. The build quality is totally okay for the price and the design is stylish enough.
Cons: It could be like 1 cm bigger to both sides for the Acer Aspire One, or there could be another model for the Aspire One, because this is quite tight.
Other Thoughts: A nice protective bag for small laptops, some strap to carry it from could be nice but this is ok.
Bottomline: Cheap protective bag for small laptops. Buy this so that you don't scratch it, it has also padding which is good if you drop it.

Pros: These are nice red leds for your DIY projects. They are not so very bright but should be okay for many DIY projects. The build quality is just like with any other leds, so you can't really go wrong buying these.
Cons: There are really no cons - just remember to use a suitable resisitor with these. Use www.ledcalc.com to calculate a suitable resistor Ohm value.
Other Thoughts: Buy these if you need red leds for some projects, or buy them for the future -always good to have some leds
Bottomline: Nice red leds. Not super ultrabright but definitely brigter than regular red marking/information leds.

Pros: These are really cheap! They can be used on various touchscreen devices. They are designed for the NDS lite but can be used with many other devices.
Cons: The build quality is not the best, the end is a bit sharp so you should probably use some fine sandpaper to make it smoother.
Other Thoughts: These are just simple plastic sticks so it's nothing special, but they do their job and they do it well, just the tip could be a little bit smoother. I got two black ones, one green and one pink stylus.
Bottomline: Buy these if you need styluses for your NDS lite or other touchscreen device.

Cons: The build quality could always be better but it is totally okay. Mine worked well.
Other Thoughts: It is just a normal 2,5mm to 3,5mm headphones adapter, so it is nothing really special, but it does what it should!
Bottomline: Cheap nice little 2,5 mm to 3,5 mm stereo headphones adapter. Buy it if you need one.

Pros: Really cheap protective silicone case for your Nokia E71 cell phone. Protects the phone from scratches and drops. Includes holes to provide access to buttons and plugs.
Cons: The silicone part in the "middle" is a bit disturbing, it is not so easy to use the buttons which are under it. On the other side, if it wasn't there the case would probably not fit so well on the phone.
Other Thoughts: Buy this, it is much cheaper than buying a new phone ;) The phone will stay in much better condition if you use it.
Bottomline: Good cheap silicone case for Nokia E71.

Cons: The plastic doesn't feel too solid, the usb port would probably brek quite easily so be careful!
Other Thoughts: This is a well-working usb bluetooth dongle. It is really thin. It works with the Bluesoleil program that comes with the package, or windows xp:s own drivers if you do like explaied on this page.
Bottomline: Get this if you need a really thin usb bluetooth dongle. You will probably not find thinner ones.

Pros: This can remove the operator locking from your phone really easily. Just put in the card and the locking is removed. You can also re-use this in many phones.
Cons: This can be really hard, or sometimes near impossible to fit in the sim card holder on some phones. In many cases you need to cut of a bit from your existing sim-card so that this should fit.
Other Thoughts: It would be nice with a complete list of supported phones.
Bottomline: Really easy way to unlock your phone, but in some phones it can be hard to get it in the sim card holder.

Cons: The build quality is not the best, the material is quite thin, a thicker one would offer better protection for your expensive phone.
Other Thoughts: Get this to protect your expensive phone from scratches and drops. I would recommend a screen protector aswell, then also the screen would be covered. This fits the iPhone 2G, the 3G model is a bit thicker so it will probably not fit so well.
Bottomline: Really really cheap iPhone protective case, it protects your phone for a really low price!

Cons: They could have more MCD but these are anyway quite bright so it's not a really big issue.
Other Thoughts: Dealextreme should sell resistors as well, so that you wouldn't have to buy them from some other more expensive place.
Bottomline: Really nice bright blue leds for a nice price. Get them if you plan to mod something.

Pros: This small surveillance camera is well built and feels solid. The image quality is totally okay for the price, just don't expect too much, but it is totally useable.
Cons: The camera needs quite much light to work well, the infrared leds are not soldered so you need to solder them if you want to use them, they would probably provide a better image in low light.
Other Thoughts: The camera is really easy to use, just connect the wires and use it. You can focus the image by turning the lens.
Bottomline: Get this if you need a cheap surveillance camera. You can easily connect it to an old vhs recorder and use it as a cheap surveillance system.

Cons: The build quality is not the best but don't expect too much from a cheap product, It does the job anyway. The dock connector is a bit different as the one that the original has but that is really not a problem.
Other Thoughts: Looks quite as the original but feels cheaper but does the job without any problem.

Cons: It could off course be more silent but for the price you can't complain!!!
Other Thoughts: Get this if you need a 7 cm fan. There are always brandede ones but this does the job just perfectly.
Bottomline: This is a really nice 7cm fan, use it to cool your computer parts, it can also be used in different diy projects where you need a cheap 7 cm fan.

Pros: This controls the speed of the fan, if you want a silent pc you can make your fans run slower with this. Then when you for example play a game you can easily turn up the fan speed for better cooling.
Cons: You have to select the fan speed from the back of your pc, sometimes it can be hard to reach there.
Other Thoughts: This cheap product does the job really nicely, the branded ones cost really much more than this.
Bottomline: Nice quality fan mate for a cheap price! Buy this if you want a silent pc, but keep in mind that if you make the fans run too slowly there could be heating problems so keep an eye on the temperatures.

Pros: Really cheap, I can get 10 of these for the same price as at my local store! You can build a really silent Linux box with these!
Other Thoughts: I think these are really great for small home servers running linux, because they are completely silent, cheap, and easy to use.
Bottomline: A very useful product to a nice price!
