With some minor caveats, it's pretty good.
I find it very useful. People who notice it say really nice things about it, which makes me feel good because they're noticing that my cane is cool instead of that I'm a cripple who needs a cane. And rather to my surprise, two days after I got it I was attacked on the street, so I needed the alarm.<br /><br />On the downside, I find I accidentally turn on the light a little too often, I have accidentally made the batteries fall out (When I was at Disney World, and needed them), and a couple times I have accidentally turned on the alarm (also while I was at Disney World, in a crowded room - and boy did people stare). But I can't really expect it to be harder to activate or it wouldn't be useful, and a cripple doesn't want the battery compartment to be too difficult to open, right? Also, it's *slightly* bent after a few months of use, so it's not holding the weight of a normal person as well as I might like. But I can afford to buy another one if it only lasts a year, so I'm not too upset.
