IOGear card reader is really fast. I've used some other USB 2.0 multi card readers but this one is definitely faster. I went looking for an SD card reader in stores and everyone seemed to have ones which attach to your computer with a USB cable. I wanted something more portable and efficient and found this perfect for my needs. This one takes SD, SDHC and MMC cards. There is another version for micro SD and trans flash cards.

Since the SD card goes inside it you can use this like a zip drive and it gives you the flexibility to swap cards without having to erase data. It is a military green color and the cap attaches to the body with a silver thread so it won't fall off. There is a tiny spring clasp at the end if you want to hook it on to something like a key chain.

There is a little plastic catch that ejects the SD card from this reader. The catch broke off the 2nd time I used it. It is not engineered well and definitely not sturdy. I bought a SanDisk reader to replace it and it works just as fast as the IOGEAR reader without inferior engineering. Using the Sandisk you simply pull the SD card out with your fingers. It should last for years because of the simplicity of the design. You can buy that one here also at Amazon.

This is very simple, travels well, works great and definitely worth it. Bought 5 for friends and family.

The card reader is so cool. I really like how easy it is to transfer stuff to my computer, I don't have to get my long USB cord out. Also taking the card to the store to get pictures developed was super easy. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends.

This card reader broke 2 min after it arrived. I plugged in the memory card, and it wouldn't come out, because the material is very cheap and the button broke. Pay extra $3.00 and get something else. It's a disappointment.

It does the job although the USB connector needs a little jiggling now and then when it loses contact. Cute design. Feels slightly flimsy but then again, SD card feels very flimsy in my hand.

Good reliable reader that can be used as a thumb drive. This type of reader is more versatile than a plain thumb drive without removable cards.

old technology. But if you have spare SD cards laying around, you can turn those this into a regular thumb drive.

Very usefull for take your pictures from your camera SD cards and download in any computer without bring the camera cable to any place.. I recomend.

I thought this product would be great? Bought it because of the color, should've stuck with what I had before. Not the greatest but it does it's job...sometimes.
