Easy to use, the only thing I don't like is the added length of the device, a bit flimsy, but it gets the work done, the price was not bad, so I'm happy with the purchase.

The adapter works on older 3g cards and some others-i had also hoped it would work on my old portable travelscan scanner-but no such luck.
 Buyer Beware: Works with 32-bit cards only! December 28, 2009

I was quite pleased with this product; however, a the time of this review, Amazon's description of the product did not specify that the adapter would ONLY work with 32-bit cardbus devices. I bought this adapter to save the expense of buying a new scanner and high-definition sound card, both of which had a PCMCIA interface. However, the scanner would not work...this is when I discovered the adapter's limitation on 16-bit devices, such as my scanner interface.
Amazon took the product back hassle-free and issued a credit. Since that time, I purchased a USB scanner (from Amazon) which was nicer than the one I had been using; and have also located a good quality USB audio device with enough capabilities to mimic the cardbus device I had been using.
You can distinguish 32-bit cardbus devices by the additional metal wrap around the border of the connection interface which enters the receptacle on the computer. This is what told me the old scanner interface would not be compatible.
As for the quality of the adapter, I thought it was fine and it's a GREAT DEAL for what you spend! Although mine did not exhibit the intermittent qualities that other reviewers had talked about, there is a little wiggle room once you slide this device in and it wouldn't hurt to prop it up from underneath with some CD jewel cases, as a precautionary measure. Also be aware that this will extend out the side of your laptop, so allow a few inches for the adapter and the cardbus device itself. This won't pose a problem for most people.
Bottom line is, for around $50 (at the time of this writing), this is an excellent alternative to some other adapters which can approach or exceed $100 but ONLY IF you have 32-bit cards.
