What's great about it: Works great with a Mac laptop and a PC laptop
What's not so great: Some devices are not compatible, but most are
We bought these for our fine working but older model LED and LCD televisions that did not have built in WiFi or internet access. The set-up was surprisingly intuitive and quite simple. The only thing that might confuse some people is installing the ChromeCast apps on their devices so that the device can read them. Otherwise, we were streaming from my 10 year old Macbook Pro in minutes! Same with the 1st Gen iPad, the 8 year old HP laptop and the new Galaxy S4 cell phones. Casting to the TV was a simple as clicking an icon, and there it was in all 46 inch glory!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to install, worked immediately on my phone
What's not so great: Nothing, this is a great Micro SD card
I have never used a Micro SD, but did find that a Class 10 was best for use in cell phones. We have new Samsung Galaxy S4 phones and take lots of video, so a card was required. This 8gb card has held over 300 HD videos ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes. No lag in storing or playing back. It was the best price on the BestBuy.com website.
This product has... Reliable, Fast recording/download speed, Large capacity/good size
About me... Budget Conscious, Need to expand storage on my cell phone, Need storage for large media files
I would recommend this to a friend!
I use it with:Cell phone

What if both HMDI slots are already taken? :-(

Must this go in the HDMI slot? I have Comcast, which takes up one HDMI, then Roku-which is taking up the other HDMI. I'm thinking of trying Chromecast-which appears to take HMDI (Hence the name! LOL!) My TV has only two HMDI slots, so is there anything I cn do?
Yes, this device does require access to an HDMI slot and works kind of similar to your Roku, but definitely not the same. We had that same problem with only two HDMI slots, and it was a pain to get behind the TV to switch them out as needed, so we bought and HDMI extender cable and now just simply plug-in the needed device without moving or trying to find the slot on the back of the TV. The extension cable sits just on the shelf under the TV and we plug-n-play! And FYI, the Chromecast does also require power when in use, so you will need an available power outlet as well.
