I keep it in my camera bag. Its small and accurate for putting in photos for post processing white balancing.

I like items that server more than one purpose.
The Adorama Micro Fiber Cleaning Cloth is such an item. Not only is it a micro fiber cleaning cloth which means it won't scratch your lens, but you can use it as a 18% Gray Card. Just hold it in front of your subject and set your white balance. It's light weight and stores easily in a camera bag or pocket... When it gets dirty simply wash it... try that with any other Gray Card!
...and at this price you can afford 2.

Does a good job of cleaning. Have not tried to use it as a gray card yet.

Good for cleaning lenses and especially high quality multi-coated filters. Can lift finger prints off filters. Fabric is soft but not very absorbent. Fits in any tiny space available. recommend using a zip lock bag to store in.
The weave is such that the cloth is checkered. This means that obviously it cannot be 18% gray. Either the light or dark squares may be 18%, or if you use averaging on your camera meter, perhaps the blend is ~18%. Using against a standard cardboard 18% card, I get different results. Therefore, I don't use the cloth as an 18% gray card. It is still a good cloth to have along.

It works. It cleans lenses, but I have not tried to use it to set my white balance yet. No need yet. Wish it had a case to keep it in.

I use this to clean my lens, but more importantly to correct white balance.

ok. so. i'm really just learning about exposure and was getting frustrated that my settings were ALWAYS wrong. so i decided i better get a gray card (duh). i feel so rediculous for having tried manual exposures without a gray card. anyway, this works double duty as gray card and lens wipe. one more "+" is that you can tuck it in the tiniest of pockets to carry with you. super easy. i go nowhere without it now. and my exposures turn out beautiful:)

I bought the cleaning cloth to test out and see how I like it, plus I figured that as a gray card, it would be handy. I used this with the cleaning solution from Giottos. Be mindful of how much solution you use, this cloth does not sponge up the liquid like the more traditional lens cleaning cloth.
I did a few photoshoots and used it as a gray card to adjust the white balance, and it works better than the gray card I was using.

Great for carefully cleaning snow and mist off my lenses. Only con is that it doesn't come with durable cheap plastic packaging to store it in, but snack size ziplock does the trick.
