Seriously, I don't think much of this thing! The idea is sound but 
really! The illumination might be uneven, just looking at it.

At least my inventions have some *style* about them.

On the plus side, the camera would float if dropped overboard...

DON'T BUY IT.  We had a bunch of those inflatable ring flash adaptors 
that we paid $2 each for at a clearance when one of our suppliers bought 
another and ditched all the junk languishing in their warehouse.  The 
thing is basically useless, has odd highlights and is nearly impossible 
to keep on the camera.  Also, $30 is way way way too much.  I felt bad 
selling them for $5.

What a really clever idea!  Brilliant bit of lateral thinking. 
Only doubts in my mind are about durability.

Optional extra: super diffusion from your breath condensing

Why should it not work? I´ve seen something similiar at the Photokina 99
(I think). It never made it to the shelves here in Germany. 
Its actually only directing the flash light from a classic flash into
the "bulb". The backside is made of Al-covered foil (or something
similiar). Not as professional like a ring-flash, but it might work ...

It is $25 CDN if you mention the webpage. They state it actually works, so I
would expect you could return it if it doesn't work. Or is that not the way
it works in Canada?

I have to say, it looks like a piece of junk to me, Bill.
YOu could probably rig up something yourself that would do
the same thing.

OTOH - you could apply $30.00 Canadian to a slot machine and
get absolutely nothing back :) can you return it if it truly
is awful?
