5.0 out of 5 stars more like an expandable flash drive than a card reader, February 3, 2009

it read my 4GB SDHC card with no problems. I bought it because of its size and it doesn't dissapoint. It fits in any USB enabled nook you can find. Since the micro SD cards are so small they are hard to take out of the reader (easy to put in). Ultimately I just leave a 4GB micro SD card in it and use it as a flash drive unless I need to read a card used elsewhere (because the cards are hard to take out). It serves it's purpose well and hopefully people won't find a reason to shrink memory cards much more than they are. :o)

4.0 out of 5 stars Works but awkward, June 2, 2008

The product works fine, however its a bit awkward at first inserting the reader into a usb slot, it also feels a bit fragile at times.

However the reader itself works wonderfully,reads the micro-sd cards fine, with a high read/write speed.

Not much more to say about, if you need a simple micro-sd card reader, there is no reason not to buy this product.

It certainly does its job. However, the micro SD card fits extremely snug and you need long fingernails to be able to get it out afterward. I worry every time I use it that I'm going to accidentally break the SD card trying to get it in or out.
