CONCLUSION
It's concerning that Shady Lizard doesn't allow you to see the actual product until you've entered your cell phone number and a PIN. Not everyone is comfortable sharing that information until they are ready to make the purchase. Shady Lizard does offer a wide variety of ringtones and other mobile accessories, and makes its service available to nearly all cell phone carriers for a price that is pretty reasonable.
