Finally got mine today! Also in a manilla bubble mailer from Canada (I'm in California).
Review tomorrow after I try it out.

Well, I tried to review it today. The software takes a while to load then says "Product is not authorized!" and freezes.

EDIT: Tried updating the firmware. After that, the program started and acknowledged I had a 3DS game in but wouldn't do anything because it said it didn't recognize the firmware on the dongle. Reupdated the firmware, back to product not authorized. Switched USB ports. Program starts but won't recognize anything in the dongle. Rebooted. Back to product not authorized.

EDIT 2 - Pulled dongle, started program, placed empty dongle in a 3rd different usb port, then inserted the game. This seemed to finally work.

Thanks for the official reply. It seems I need to start the program, then insert the dongle, then insert the game and it works fine, otherwise it freezes. See review here - http://gbatemp.net/topic/317864-my-save-dongle-review/
