Summary: Interest in these Phlat Balls has fallen 'flat'
Comment: I bought 2 of these cheap on amazon after much pestering from my kids. In the first few days my kids were interested but after the first week interest has fallen flat and now (months later) they are a forgotten item waiting to be sent to the charity shop. I would advise to stick to conventional frisbees and balls since the Phlat ball is neither here nor there. They don't alway work as expected and because they don't hold the initial novelty factor they are just not worth having.

Summary: poor design
Comment: We have had two phlat balls (i only bought the second one because my son nagged me so much). The first one lasted about 2 months, the second about 1 hour. Both broke because the suction on the suction pad is stronger than the plastic part that it sticks to. In my opinion they are a waste of money - either buy a ball or a frisbee - much more fun and much more kid-proof.

Summary: Jack of two trades, master of none.
Comment: It's a naff ball and a naff frisby.
When in ball mode it's not round enough for my liking.
In frisby mode, it doesn't frisby as well as a frisby.
It can also pinch your skin.
Exactly what awards did it win?
I can't think of any uses for it.
If you're that poor you can't afford seperate ball and frisby, scrunch up some paper to make a ball, and use a CD or tupperwear lid as a frisby.

Summary: Don't bother
Comment: I bought this as a birthday gift for my son. The first time we played with it, it broke. Save your money and buy yourself a proper ball. I would have given it zero stars if I could have.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Waste of Time and Money!
Comment: Received as a gift, aimed at 'adults' and children. No one got it to work, it's uncomfortable to catch and aimed at very small children who may enjoy the colours! When it hits you it hurts, so small children did not want to play with it. For almost a fiver, we would rather play with a normal, dependable ball!

It does have a good 69mm LCD, optical image stabilisation and face detection, though
