Pros: Well, its definitly VERY small and compact Trans-Flash/Micro Secure Digital memory card reader. 

Got mine with protective plastic case (cheap, but still well fitted to reader) and keychain, just like in the pictures shown, so nothing to complain about it there.

Cons: Its definitly cheap, both in price and build-quality. One should be careful inserting card, as it can be a bit tricky because of plastic parts blockin way a bit. However, its easy to do this right, so its only a minor annoyance.

Other Thoughts: It takes 8 GB SDHC LG card without problem, achieving 18/10 MB read/write speed, however i suspect its card limitation, and reader could be actually even faster.

Bottomline: Quite useful, a LOT faster than readers built in cell phones, cameras etc. Speeds up things without trouble.

Pros: Very convenient size. Turn a microSD card into a memory stick.
 
Cons: Poor build quality - I've had mine replaced twice. It gives device not recognised after some usage. It could be heat related as it does heat up considerably after extended usage. Certainly don't have this as your only way to extract information from your microSD card.
 
Other Thoughts: sku.11307 has an item like this in its 'heart' and works fine under extended usage. These are probably the lower quality bin products.
 
Bottomline: Perhaps I was unlucky twice but if you need to read microSD cards, make sure you have an alternative device ready.

MicroSD USB 2.0 Card Reader

Pros: It is easy and very compact to use and works perfectly. It is plug and play. Mine came with a cap. Works well too with Micro SDHC. It has good read and write speeds. It is made of metal. On cards I can write to at ~10-15MBs/sec. It works well...
 
Cons: The plastic cover is useless.
 
Other Thoughts: Comes in many colors. There was this useless plastic cover around the whole thing. Great to keep the SD Micro card from getting jimmied out, but no good to keep dust out of the USB plug end.
 
Bottomline: Buy it, and buy some more...

Pros: This microsd card adapter is really small 
and it works great for putting ur micro sd card in your computer if you dont have a card reader built in or dont have an sd to micro sd adapter
both would be about the same price
works well as a super tiny flash drive
 
Cons: not the best build quality
the little string comes out easily and doesnt go back in
it can get hard to pull out sometimes
 
Other Thoughts: it is orange
i wish they had more color options to choose from
plastic is of decent quality
 
Bottomline: get it if u need a portable microsd card reader for universal use
