Add me to that mix.  I have a WCF12 card and it works great.  It doesn't
fill the slot like the TYPE II version would, but it fits very snuggly
in the area that it should and it has some small guides that help you
put it in correctly.

Here are my caveats... when I am not using the CF card, I take it out
and store it in the acrylic (hard) case that it came in.  I also try to
put it in and take it out in a very straight, linear, fashion (no
twisting or wiggling).

So far it works great.

It is the only card that I have so I can't speak to any others.
