5.0 out of 5 stars Nice, November 3, 2007

By	Two Cents (Michigan) - See all my reviews

I got this for my LG cellphone. When it arrived I inserted the micro SD card into the phone and formatted the card through the phone menu. Then I transferred existing photos from the phone memory to the card. I then took the card and put it into the USB reader and plugged it into my computer (Windows XP).

After Windows finished with the recognition of new hardware routine I opened Windows Explorer and was surprised to find already on the card the 3 folders I wanted (My Pix, My Flix, and My Music. In the My Pix folder I found the photos from the phone and transferred them onto the computer. I then transferred a bunch of MP3 files from the computer into the My Music folder on the card, plugged the card back into the phone, and voila - listened to some songs.

That was it, piece of cake, the whole package worked great and at quite a nice price.

4.0 out of 5 stars WYSIWYG, November 15, 2007

By	shog - See all my reviews

What you see is what I got. Just that exact yellow color. The tiny lanyard is a bit uglier close-up. I tried to disassemble it to use some monofilament instead or something. Nothin' doin'. The lanyard rubs me the wrong way for some reason, but it's on there for good.

If your phone's got a microsd slot, consider this as an alternative to the usb cable for getting crap to and from it. Try carrying a usb cable on your keychain.

This thing is damn tiny. I really don't like a crowded keychain, this is very low-profile and pocket-friendly. Won't win any beauty contests. Anyone got a black or purple one for trade?

6 month update - still works, even uglier than when i got it, the thin plastic edges on the topside cracked and snapped off, but has no effect on functionality.

Year update - Broken! Totally! Got another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Item, August 21, 2007

By	M. Mortimer (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I buy a lot of chips and have many readers. The reader/writer that comes with this MicroSD chip is very small. If you know the size of MicroSD chips, look at it in the picture, you can see just how small this reader is.

The chips from this vendor are genuine SanDisk, which is a relief considering all the counterfeit junk out there nowadays. And the reader actually performs at USB 2.0 speeds, something else that is nice considering all the supposed USB 2.0 items that are really USB 1.1 inside.

All in all the reader and chip have performed without incident. I have had mine for about a year. I have used this combo to transfer and transport files and also used the chip in my cameras and cell phones.

I don't know what the problem is with the one reviewer who said his was defective. I do know that many times people do not format chips correctly or there is something wrong with the device they are using. My experience has been nothing but positive.

The vendor is OK too. I can't recall exactly, but I think shipping was pretty quick. The two items came in a padded envelope, which was nice.

At the current price I think these things are a bargain. I remember when 2GB micro sd chips were $50. Now, to get a chip and mini reader for less than $25, that's sweet.
