IFFY LITTLE PRODUCT
Pros: cheapest ant i could find
Cons: large size, limited app support
First off, this will NOT work with MapMyRide/Run/whatever. If that is your preferred app, look elsewhere. Most of the apps it does work with require purchasing them to get the full functionality. DigiFit works really well with it though.
Second, the form factor of the device makes it impossible to use with a case or bumper with a normal sized hole for the dock connector. I had to hack the crap outta the bottom of a bumper to make it fit.
Lastly, have an RMA for this product because it seems to lose physical connectivity with the iPhone. Truth be told, I would much rather try a different product.

HANDY ANT ADAPTER
Pros: works as advertised
Cons: need more apps to utilize it
I bought this on impulse, and have yet to really take advantage of having it. I have found a few iPhone apps that support it, and I believe the key for me is to find the right app for my needs.

GREAT, EASY TO USE PRODUCT!
Pros: great, small, functional
Cons: doesn't fit with my case
It's a great accessory for the iPhone when used in combination with Garmin App & ANT+ accessories. I have used it with the HR strap and the speed/cadence sensor and both work flawlessly. The only issue is that I can't use my iPhone case with it, but that's only an extremely minor inconvenience.

GREAT FOR INDOOR TRAINING
Pros: small, works well, easy to pair with sensors
Cons: none
I ordered this item to track my indoor exercises during the winter months, using my iPod Touch. It works fine. I was able to pair it with my Garmin Heart Beat Monitor and Foot Pod in a matter of seconds.
And, though it says "For iPhone", I use it with my iPod Touch (4th generation) and it works fine. Since I'm using it indoor, I don't care about mapping my tracks. I suspect Garmin says for iPhone only because the iPod Touch doesn't have a GPS (my guess).
This device is used with Garmin Fit app. This app lets you record your stats (max beats, min beats, avergage, distance, steps per minutes, pace, etc.) and if you care to open a free Garmin Connect account, all your data is uploaded on the said website. From there you get many tools to track your progress. You can also extract the data in a TCX or GPX track to later import it in your favorite desktop app. In my case, Rubitrack for Mac.
The way I see this, it lets me carry only one device on me at the gym. My iPod for the music and logging my exercises. No watch. Just the iPod. That's great !
