How often do you change your air/cabin filter?

I haven't changed it on my 09 yet, so I was just curious on how often you guys change them? Are the ones on ebay any good?

x2. The ones you make are also BETTER than the ones that you pay a markup for from Toyota. And it's more cost-effective.

I change mine when it looks dirty. I cut up a house filter into four smaller filters; cheap.
