Pros:

ive been looking all over the place for these and finally found them here!!! they work very well and its not easy for little fingers to open these, but any adult can do it with no problem.

Cons:

out of the 5 sets that i ordered, only one of the pads was not sticky enough to hold the clip onto the door to hold it closed.

Other Thoughts:

these are great to keep small children out of places little hands shouldnt be. i used them on almost all of the cabinets and drawers in my kitchen.

Bottomline:

cheap and effective, i recommend these as an affordable way to keep your kids safe, with out do any damage to the cabinet doors.

Pros:

listing says its for a ds lite, but it works fine with my original ds (the fat old one). none of my buttons stick at all. strap provides a very comfortable grip.

Cons:

didnt come with a pick, but its not supposed to, but it would have been nice if one was included. other than that, i cant think of anything that is a bad idea about this item.

Other Thoughts:

all the guitar hero ds straps like this one (and including this one) claim to be for the ds lite only, but i can confirm that this one works very well with the original ds without having to do anything to it. just plug it in and it works.

Bottomline:

if youre a guitar hero freak like me, then you have to have this.

Pros:

its a cool box that you can use to hide small things and it is very funny to watch someone try to figure out how to open it. the box is well built and the design is very nice. storage space is large when you consider the size of the box itself.

Cons:

none. the item is what it is.

Other Thoughts:

dont hide anything inside that is too valuable. if someone wanted in, they could just smash the box open. (you can put your weed in there!)

Bottomline:

its a good buy. the box is well built and is fun to play with and show off to people. worth the low price. kids like it a lot.

Pros:

OMG! If this isnt the coolest gadget I have ever bought, then I dont know what is. I drive a taxi and use this device to record my work night. I use a cigarette lighter to USB plug that i bought and it records up to 20 hours of video before you need to move, copy, or delete anything to make room for more.

Cons:

I havent been able to find a single flaw in buying this. Perhaps the only con is that i want to spend all my money to buy more of them.

Other Thoughts:

Im no secret agent or 007, but if i was, i could see how the glowing light could be a bit of a hassle, but someone else suggested painting over it and using the faint glow coming out from around the power button to determine the working satus, which seems like a pretty good idea.

Bottomline:

With this is camera selling for between two and four times this price everywhere else on the internet, its hard to believe you can buy it for this cheap, but its true.

Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros:

The ink glows under any black light. Kids think this is a great toy and if it makes them happy, then that makes me happy.

Cons:

You have to be careful that the kids dont write all over the walls with this thing.

Other Thoughts:

The price for this was very good and it does make a great little gift or stocking stuffer for kids.

Bottomline:

If you are into black lights and that kind of stuff, then you probably already own several pens like this, but if you didnt buy them from DX, then you probably paid several dollars more for them then this one sells for.

Pros:

The DX logo on the package is replaced by a cool cube with wings graphic, making drop shipments possible.

Cons:

The only con is that they made drop shipping so easy that now anyone and everyone can do it.

Other Thoughts:

you dont want your customers knowing who your supplier is so add this and they wont know anything, and it only costs a penny.

Bottomline:

they say that adding this makes your order ship faster. ive also read that you might be able to avoid paying taxes or customs duties. if its only a penny, it cant really hurt to go the extra step to try it.

Ownership verified by DX Not really the best gag I have seen

Ease of Use: starstarstarstar

Usefulness: starstar
Overall Rating: starstarstar

Pros:

A small rubber bug (mine was a really fake looking spider with little bits of sawdust stuck all over it) pops out of the box on a wire when top is slid open.

Cons:

Writing on the box kinda gives it away. Its really easy to see the bug before it pops out if you only open the box a little bit.

Other Thoughts:

The string that operates the the wire to stand up will break very easily if the lid is pulled too far open.

Bottomline:

Not the best gag that I have seen. Good for kids, but most adults wont fall for this one.

Price: starstarstarstarstar

Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros:

Geniune Kingston 2GB MicroSD Card With SD Adapter. When you say that, and then look at the price, its hard to belive, but its true.

Cons:

None. At all. What can you complain about? Would have been nice if a MiniSD Adapter was also included, but for this price, it doesnt even matter because i already got one.

Other Thoughts:

Cant go wrong here. Its a 2GB MicroSD Memory card. If you need it, this is the best place your ever going to find to get it. So get it now.

Bottomline:

For this price, you can pretty much own more MicroSD memory than you are ever going to need. These cards are great if something you own doesnt support HCSD.

Ownership verified by DX Good Card Reader For a Cheap Price
Posted by drchef420 on 11/6/2008

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros:

This is an affordable multi format memory card reader. Can read many popular card formats, including gsm sim cards, which is something never seen in card readers sold at retail outlets here in the United States.

Cons:

This card reader has no Compact Flash Ports. The build quality is good, but it can be easily damaged if it is abused or not handled properly. The bottom latch doesnt close when a full size SD card in inserted.

Other Thoughts:

A good price for this, so long as you dont need it for any compact flash memory cards. The sliding clear plastic cover can be a bit annoying, but it is very easily removed.

Bottomline:

If you need a card reader and you dont use cf, then you cant really go wrong with this one. Its very doubtful that you could find a better price for this anywhere else.

Pros:

It is a very good product for covering the sharp corners on your furniture and other household things. Soft rubbery smiley faces make a rounded edge for corners. Easy to apply.

Cons:

The included glue strips are not very strong. Also, it comes with just enough glue strips to apply the product only one time, so if you have to move them, you need more glue strips.

Other Thoughts:

If you can't find triangle shaped glue strips, just buy square ones and cut them in half at an angle.

Bottomline:

The glue strips are weak, so supply your own, which shouldnt be a big problem. These arent very useful in areas where little hands are constantly grabbing at them, as no amount of glue in the world could hold them on, but they are useful in areas less frequently accessed by your kids.
