Pros:

- I bought a brand name case for $30. I didn't like it. I bought this case, and sold the previous case. This is MUCH, much better
- The price is incredible
- It can be snapped closed or snapped open for gameplay, unlike magnetic cases
- Probably fake leather, so no murdered cows?

Cons:

- Knob on back is non-removable
- iPod stretches out the case, so it slides more and more easily over time
- Probably fake leather, so you can't brag?

Other Thoughts:

- You might not want to use that clip a lot, just in case - I've never used it, but don't put yourself in a situation where if the clip broke you would lose your iPod.

Bottomline:

If you have a iPod Touch 2G 8/16/32GB, BUY THIS CASE. Don't settle for cruddy silicone or something that only covers the back.

Pros:

- Extremely low price
- Makes sku.6152 usable for people in the United States of America
- Free bubble mailer! [See other thoughts]

Cons:

- It could probably have been build quality along with everything else on the site, but it's built according to the cost and I've never had any problems with a couple hours of usage with a battery charger

Other Thoughts:

- Free bubble mailer included, if you ship things so rarely that you would normally take a trip to a pharmacy or dollar store to grab a bubble mailer or two, then the packaging is worth $.50 or $1 by itself and will almost pay for the item! Just make sure to keep the packaging for a month before ripping the label off just in case you need to return it.
- In the UK? Grab sku.3529 and grab a few if you buy from DX often.
- MAKE SURE YOUR PRODUCT IS RATED FOR UNIVERSAL CURRENT/VOLTAGE BEFORE USING THIS SO YOU DON'T BLOW ANYTHING UP! I don't know electricity well but be safe! This doesn't charge the voltage or anything, just the plug shape, so it's probably easy for you to overpower something. If in doubt, ask on the forums! :D

Bottomline:

- You should put one in your cart right now, eventually at some point in your life you or somebody you know will probably need to use it for some random item. The availability of it in your house for use anytime greatly outweighs the cost. What if you bought an item from DX that you needed to use right away and even paid for EMS shipping only to find it had a round plug and you needed to wait another few weeks to use it?

Pros:

- Cheap!
- 2 pack; 1 pack would probably only be a few cents cheaper and allows for a higher chance of you getting 1 to work
- I did NOT have any problems with the width of the cards like other reviewers; package received 11/24
- The lock switches on the cards seem very tight!
- Pretty good shipment speed
- Hard to find in stores without buying a MicroSD/TF card, too

Cons:

- 1 of the cards I received didn't work. Nothing visually wrong, but won't show up when put into my PDA. However, snapped a few pictures and sent them to DX for a replacement, which I should get with my next order!

Other Thoughts:

- Don't get this if you NEED 2 perfect working adapters ASAP - but if you can stand to wait a week or two, and even more if you need a replacement, then this is an excellent buy

Bottomline:

- If you have MicroSD cards, this is a great buy! GO FOR IT! The quality might just surprise you!

Pros:

- Hard to find this anywhere else
- If you go jogging at night and drop these you'll be able to find them without a flash light
- I've never seen anybody else with these, so having them in your ears outside a club or something could be a conversation starter

Cons:

- You get what you pay for in this case
- Not amazing quality but OK
- Don't expect them to look exactly like the pictures colorwise, they might not
- Probably won't last very long but you could get 1 per month more cheaply than buying a good pair that lasts a year

Other Thoughts:

- DealExtreme once again delivers a cheap, hard to find, cool little item

Bottomline:

- If you want to be unique and don't mind interesting colors, why not pick up a pair?

Pros:

- When I first used this, packages came marked as "S. Chen - LiveShipment". Now there is a different address
- I add this to every order I make without any problems
- It doesn't hurt to add it, so go ahead

Cons:

- High cost

Other Thoughts:

- All this does is tell DealExtreme staff to put a special label on your package that gets rid of the DX logo
- It might help things get through customs better or more quickly
- An absolute necessity if you are going to dropship
- Never check out without this in your cart

Bottomline:

- Put this in your cart right now!

Pros:

- SMALL
- Can be easily hidden, taped to a hat, hung as a necklace, etc.
- Actual 1GB capacity confirmed [after formatting a bit less as always]
- Bit slow read/write but could have just been my computer at the time of the test
- Reads files in the order you copied them, I believe
- After unplugging headphones and waiting a while, plugging them in again resumes your last heard track from the beginning, it doesn't restart to the first song you have
- Nice giftbox with funny Engrish instructions - but you get the jist of it
- Copy MP3s using Windows Explorer or similar - no dumb bloated programs like iTunes or Zune software!

Cons:

- Uses a 2.5mm headphone jack, requiring use of an adapter that's 1/2 as big as the player or using the included plastic short corded headphones
- Plays a weird noise after skipping a track
- No shuffle!
- Poor English instructions but you don't need to read them

Other Thoughts:

- H2testw v1.4
*Writing speed: 1.57 MByte/s
*Reading speed: 6.59 MByte/s
[POSSIBLY NOT 100% ACCURATE! But you'll get a minimum of the above almost guaranteed]
- Plug in headphones to turn on
- Just two buttons
Good or bad, you decide!
- Don't expect any really serious features
- Plug in headphones to turn on. Hold next to increase volume, previous to decrease. Tap next to go to the next track, tap previous to go to the previous track. Easy as pie.

Bottomline:

- Want an iPod Shuffle without the quality, battery life, shuffle-ability, and high expense? Buy this!

Pros:

- You can backup your contacts
- Backup SMS messages
- Put certain types of ringtones on certain phones!!!
- Put certain "operator logos" on certain phones - UNTESTED
- Backed up contacts from deactivated tracfones USA: Motorola C139, Nokia 1100b
- Was able to see text messages on the C139, not sure about 1100b
- Can combine multiple address books [manually]
- Screw with your friends! You can put a message on your phone that says it's from ANY NUMBER and have ANY MESSAGE! Be responsible with this though! ;)

Cons:

- Didn't work with Windows Server 2003, only XP
- No readme on the CD that I can see but figured stuff out with another reviewer's help

Other Thoughts:

See the forums for my post with the necessary files!
Here's what I did:
Plugged in reader - XP Home couldn't find what it needed
Installed Setup.exe from E:\Usb-SIM9.0
Installed Setup For HugePine.exe from E:\Usb-232\HL0108
Unplugged and replugged reader - let XP Home "install the software for Huge Pine USB to Serial Ports"
Launched SIM Scanner v9.0 to see what it would do
Launched SIM Editor v9.0 and was able to backup contacts from multiple phones and combine them to my one main phone
Put the SIM card in like this:
Chip part DOWN, cut corner sticking out

Bottomline:

It's really cool that I was able to do what I did with this product and it cost SO little. People break and loose SIM cards all the time. Why spend hours figuring out who you had on your phone? Just spend a couple bucks and pick one of these up.
DO YOU OWN A CELL PHONE?
NO: GET A CELL PHONE
YES: BUY THIS
:D

Pros:

- Very loud
- Has adhesive tape on the back so you can peel and stick to anything
- Incredibly inexpensive
- Can be very useful and maybe even save your life depending on how you use this
- Compact in size and appearance
- Looks pretty neat, some might not be able to tell what it is right away!

Cons:

- Not amazing build quality but it works
- My battery was dead when it arrived but this may just have been mine

Other Thoughts:

- Sensitive - good or bad, you decide!
- White. A black version would be good, too.

Bottomline:

- Easy to use and neat little gadget! Buy it if you need it or want $2 worth of fun.

Pros:

Awesome cable. Fast speeds, solid transfers, no worries. Shipped fast from Hong Kong by the awesome guys and gals at DX! Nice and safe in the standard yellowish bubble mailer.
Works with the PSP 1000 [fat] and 2000 [slim] and tons of cameras and probably the PS3.

Cons:

Well, I really don't think there are any. It's a good cable for a cheap price. Buy it.

Other Thoughts:

Anybody who uses a computer will use one of these eventually. Devices of all sorts will use them. PSPs, PS3s, cameras, hard drives, everything!

Bottomline:

If you are reading this, buy this. Simple as that! :) You won't have any regrets getting this from DX. Best price on the net, too!

Pros:

Amazing for your PSP. This should work for all PSPs on the inside-type screws. Use SKU 9161 to open your PSP and this to do stuff on the inside.

Cons:

Tiny bit small. It's probably a good thing seeing what tight spaces you will be working with, however.

Other Thoughts:

Arrived here fast in great condition in a nice little bubble mailer.
Get it with SKU 12316 so you can unscrew the outside of the PSP first!

Bottomline:

If you will EVER open your PSP, BUY THIS! No regrets. Even if you just own a PSP, add it to your cart. Because at some point you will think "Hey, I need to do XYZ in my PSP... Dang, I have to wait for one from Hong Kong!" And then you might pay $20 for EMS on a $2 item! So get this with no worries. Enjoy!

Pros:

Amazing for your PSP. This works on all the outside-ish screws of my PSP 1001 Fat, and should work with the slims, too!

Cons:

Tiny bit small. Had some tape on the thing when it got here in the bubble mailer, but nothing major at all.
Would have probably bought one if I could have but it will be nice to have two of them just in case. Maybe for a friend!

Other Thoughts:

Get it with SKU 12316 if you will be unscrewing anything on the inside.
One for you, one for your mate? :)

Bottomline:

If you have a PSP, you need to buy this. NOW. Go on, chop chop. Add it to your cart. A simple and cheap good decision! Remember, this is for the outside type screws if you have a PSP. For things on the inside, I believe you need the torx one.

Pros:

I've bought this more than any other item on DX.
Add this to EVERY SINGLE ORDER THAT YOU EVER MAKE. If you've never ordered this or even never ordered from DealExtreme before, remember that. Before you check out, come to this page. Add SKU 1888 [have it memorized! :D] to your cart. Nothing is different except that there will be a different return address - "S. Chen - LiveShipment" intead of "S. Chen - DealExtreme". The logo looks better.

Cons:

If you get a partial shipment, I don't think you get a pretty DX "bookmark" type slip inside. That's it!

Other Thoughts:

Might make things come through customs faster.
Only a penny? What are YOU waiting for?

Bottomline:

ADD THIS TO YOUR CART RIGHT NOW NO MATTER WHAT!
Oh, and always use to drop ship to people. Use PayPal Express Checkout, too, by the way.

Pros:

AMAZING! It works perfectly. I use it with my computer and with my AC>USB adapter/charger device I got from a retail store.
It's a really neat all in one that lets you charge and play your PSP.
No more taking your battery out every night or anything!
Cable transfers fast as any other.

Cons:

None. Perfect price, perfect cable. Any store would charge a ton. This is awesome!

Other Thoughts:

I'm not sure if it can charge and transfer simultaneously.

Bottomline:

If you have a PSP, you NEED THIS PRODUCT. Buy it. Seriously. No worries, DX is always the best. Mine is working swimmingly and should for a long while to come. BUY IT!

Pros:

Notice: Fat PSP 1001 owner. I understand computers and devices pretty well, I guess. I can figure stuff out. I don't game very much.
I received the package. It had the Pandora in bubble wrap.
I put the memory stick in and my real battery and plugged the PSP into my computer using the USB part of the USB/Charger cable from DX [sku.65]. I used "PSP Grade" to format the memory stick - it took a couple of minutes to put all the files on.
Next, WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT TRIGGER, I attached the charger part of the cable and put in the Pandora, with my magic MS still inside. I hit X to install 3.80 M33. It finished in a few minutes. I took out the Pandora and put in the real battery. It booted but this time with the new firmware! I then changed some settings and found out how I could successfully play a legally backed up game.
No AC charger needed, actually.

Cons:

This product and "cons" do not go into the same sentence. :D But seriously, none that I can think of.

Other Thoughts:

To make the magic memory stick, YouTube ID "IsLfsrSpde8" was helpful [Google it]. For games, ID "k4JcPwhL9a8" works.
I have a fat PSP, but this should work with any type.
Use PSP Grader - the newest one. Google it.
YOU DO *NOT* NEED CUSTOM FIRMWARE! REGULAR PSPs OUT OF THE BOX WILL WORK!

Bottomline:

Have a bricked PSP?
Have a PSP and want to play legally backed up games in accordance with your local laws?
Have a tiny tiny bit of technical knowledge?
Don't want to spend a ton of money?
Have a memory card already? [128mb at least is good and tested. Don't know about lower sizes.]
BUY THIS!!!

Pros:

MagicGate NOT supported. This is marked a pro because it seems stupid.
Actual 2GB capacity [bit less than 2GB as with legit cards, most people know the reasoning for this... I think the computers see 1gb as 1024mb and sites see 1gb as 1000mb so they can have less space on the card and make more money plus some is used for "formatting", hope that made sense]
Anyway, it's 2GB. Not "hacked memory".
A certain company logo is blacked out, presumably by DX, on the cardboard insert, with a black marker. At least it helps stop people from selling them on eBay as genuine - that's why this is a pro.
Can be made into a Magic Memory Stick using PSP Grader.
No customs charges at all [no matter where you live I don't think you will get charged].
Those are the facts, folks!

Cons:

Has a certain company logo on it. Wish the manufacturer could just be nice and make some for DX without it!
Perhaps slower than genuine? Unknown.

Other Thoughts:

Tested a ton of these straight from DX.
You can trust DX to bring you the best products at the best price. They don't cheat you and have awesome customer service. They care.

Bottomline:

Don't bother paying a bunch more unless you REALLY want speed. I think that you just get a better write speed. And let's be real - who cares whether it takes you 3 or 5 minutes to copy a bunch of songs?
If you want a new 2GB card that works in your PSP or other device, buy this with no worries.

Pros:

Works perfectly with generic [not Sony/SanDisk/etc.] 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo cards. NO ADAPTER NEEDED!
The PRO DUO card goes in with NO ADAPTER. Just want to make that clear. :)
Works perfectly with a genuine SanDisk 512GB SD card.
Can be used as a nice little flash drive! The card cover closes over the card when it's still inside.
I have 2 USB 1.1 ports. They are directly above/below each other with no space in between. I plugged in a USB cable and then plugged in the reader right above it. It fit! Tiny bit tight but works! Two of these readers, however, probably would have been too much. But just get a hub if you have a big problem.
Has a red light that lights up when it's plugged in and blinks when it's been written to, I think. Turns off after safe removal.
Just formatted 10 Pro Duos perfectly.

Cons:

None, really. Price at the moment is awesome - a good ways under $5. If it's $5 or less when you read this, it's an awesome price.
Probably even worth it at around $8-$10 unless you find a better deal.
I don't think it can handle SDHC or whatever but I didn't check.
USB 2.0 untested.

Other Thoughts:

HOW TO USE:
Hold it label side DOWN.
Take the USB cap off.
Pinch both sides of the card cap [LONG WAYS, don't pinch the arrow] gently.
Wiggle it and don't get frustrated.
Try putting a long fingernail into the slot on the opposite side of the >>ARROW>> to get it unstuck if needed.
Once the cap comes off a tiny bit, pull it down.
Insert a card logo side UP and push it till it goes in almost all the way. Don't FORCE it, you should know when it's really in.
Put the cap on but be careful with the hinge.
Plug it into a USB bort label side DOWN.
ENJOY!

Bottomline:

BUY
THIS
READER
2GB Pro Duo, 512MB SD = FLAWLESS
USB 1.1 COMPATIBLE

Pros:

Notice: Fat PSP 1001 owner. I understand computers and devices pretty well, I guess. I can figure stuff out. I don't game very much.
I received the package. It had the Pandora and the memory card. The memory card was in "retail" "Sony" packaging while the Pandora was in bubble wrap, taped to the card.
I put the memory stick in and my real battery and plugged the PSP into my computer using the USB part of the USB/Charger cable from DX [sku.65]. I used "PSP Grade" to format the memory stick - it took a couple of minutes to put all the files on.

I took out the Pandora and put in the real battery. It booted but this time with a the new firmware! I then changed some settings and found out how I could successfully play a legally backed up game.

Cons:

The memory stick is blank [AS NOTED BY DX, I KNEW BEFORE I PURCHASED]. DX should sell "Pandora Battery *NOW WITH FREE MAGIC MS!*" as I have seen another site do. I don't think they can SELL the magic MS, but they could do that. It would only take a few minutes per unit. This way, the end user doesn't have to spend a whole 10 minutes making the card magic themselves :).
Which brings me to my next point. The card I received was in fake Sony packaging, but apparently DX took a magic marker and blacked out the main Sony logo at the top front of the package. It still had the fake hologram and all the other Sony logos, including the logo on the MS, however. I like that they don't advertise it as a genuine Sony or anything, but they could still get a blank MS so it doesn't violate copyright laws.

Other Thoughts:

To make the magic memory stick, YouTube ID "IsLfsrSpde8" was helpful [Google it]. For games, ID "k4JcPwhL9a8" works.
I have a fat PSP, but this should work with any type.

Bottomline:

Have a bricked PSP?
Have a PSP and want to play legally backed up games in accordance with your local laws?
Have a tiny tiny bit of technical knowledge?
Don't want to spend a ton of money?
BUY THIS KIT!!!
Note: Check prices of the battery and card separately before buying to get the best deal.
