Here are a few problems I have with the cloak:

1) Nobody mentioned to Harry that it was strange that his cloak was 
so effective after so much time. It's a bit of a challenge to come up 
with an exact real world equivalent, because most real world items 
that wear out can be made to last much longer, with repair and 
extreme care, or are easily replaced ("Here's the tennis ball my 
father used to use." doesn't exactly cut it). And I will admit that 
nobody noticed how old Scabbers was (which is kind of hard to 
believe; most people with pets are QUITE aware of their age and life 
expectancy). Perhaps something with a built-in rechargeable battery 
would be a good example. 

2) It was too easy to see through it. Now, I could understand if DD 
could detect presence through sound (heartbeats, or whatever), but 
when MadEye's eye could see right through it, it lowers its power 
well below the other DH's.

I too wasn't that impressed by the cloak that Harry had with him 
because he didn't seem use it enough when he could've of.  I thought 
the cloak itself was a great idea at first, but it seemed that it 
wasn't the most effective tool by Harry Potter.  It was really easy 
to see through also & DD could tell if Harry was coming even if he 
couldn't see him coming.  When MadEye could see right through it, I 
wasn't very impressed with it at all.
