When evaluating the quality of a product like this, good lamination, colorful presentation and sturdy quality are secondary to the quality of the information included in the guide. While this product deserves good marks for those secondary qualities, it doesn't do well where it really matters. Yes, almost all of the information about Russian grammar included on the guide is correct, but a resource likes this needs to be consistently accurate, and this one is not. There are small errors in the guide that make it an unreliable resource. Example: the presentation of the declensions leaves out the genitive ending for hard-stem feminine words, a major category of words. And that's only one of the mistakes that I found. How can I know that there aren't others? When reviewing grammar, I need the guide to be checking *me*, not vice-versa. There is also an error in the pronoun section where singular pronouns are incorrectly labeled as plural.
The convenience of having everything in a handy, laminated format is what made me buy two of these (one for me, and one for my wife), but don't waste your money, search for Natalia Lusin and buy anything you can get your hands on by her.

It is short, accurate and to the point, but the problem is Russian is so complicated that you can't expect to learn from this card. There just simply isn't enough room. So, if you're already proficient in Russian and want it to brush some dust off, this is an excellent choice.
