Excellent Level, great quality, and it DOES work when your camera is vertical
The fit in my hotshoe is snug and secure. It has two mounting tabs, one for when you camera is horizontal (landscape) and the other for when it is in vertical (portrait) position. Mine arrived free of any scratches; it looks quite nice. In fact, it looks identical to the Manfrotto 337 Hot Shoe Double Axis Bubble Level but at a fraction of the cost.
To answer a few questions, you want a level on your camera seperate from one on your tripod if you have any kind of adjustable head such as the Manfrotto 488RC2 Midi Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System (3157N) (one that does not have its own built-in level). Also, it's handy for times when you are not using a tripod and bracing your camera against something else. Finally, while you can fix a tilting image in Photoshop that can result in losing the composition you had created when you took the picture.
There were apparently a lot of issues with the Opteka Hot Shoe Three Axis Triple Bubble Spirit Level for Digital and Film Cameras - (Opteka) which do not exist with this item.

Opteka Hot Shoe Two Axis Double Bubble Spirit Level for Digital and Film Cameras
Not very useful except when on tripod* and most tripods have levels.
* Can't use it and viewfinder at same time for obvious reasons. I guess if camera has liveview it might serve a purpose.

Just what I needed
Not much to it. I just needed another level and it was very affordable, came within a decent shipping time and fits perfectly on my nikcon D80

Works as intended
Seeing as the level is essentially a sealed chamber 3/4 full of liquid, it's not exactly a difficult function to perform. The unit fits snugly in my hot shoe without being overly tight, and the lexan/plastic is very clear. One thing a buyer should be aware of are ground "dimples" on one tip of each axis. Obviously this doesn't impede the function of the device, but it does make it look a little cheap (hence the -1 star).
