Customer Review: Almost perfect in some surprising ways
Summary: 4 Stars
As you can see from the item description, you get three cards in the set; one black, one white, and one grey. I realize I could use the black and white cards, but the reality is that I'm only ever really going to use the grey one. Still, that's just fine with me. At that price, even if it had been just the grey card, I'd be satisfied. But it gets better ...
All three cards are exactly the same size as a credit card. So if you're like me and you're only going to use the grey one, that's perfect because you can just slip it in your wallet where a credit card would normally go and it fits perfectly. You don't have to bother with the neck strap. But it still gets better ...
The neck strap that comes with these cards is actually really nice. It's got a quick-release plastic buckle on the end. It's a pity to leave it lying around a drawer if you're carrying the card in your wallet, so you can use it for tons of other things. If you work at a place that makes you wear an ID badge, it'll work for that. If you want to carry your car keys around your neck, but still be able to quick-release them for driving or whatnot, it'll work for that.
So, to summarize, you get the grey card at a great price (which is probably why you're buying this anyway). You get a black and a white card that you're probably not going to use (no biggie). And you also get a pretty nifty neck strap that you can use for something else even if you don't use it to carry around these cards.
The only criticism I have is that the grey card comes with the company branded logo on a sticker on one side. Given that it's a small card, that sticker is pretty big and it means that you're going to be using the other side of the grey card unless you peel off the sticker ... except that the sticker is made of the kind of stuff that doesn't come off nicely. If you've got a bottle of Goo Gone, you'll be all set.
