Works pretty good with some modifications

Pros: Small (Easy to keep)
Works

Cons: Small (Easy to lose)
Upside down
Doesn't support SDHC? (I would'nt know)
Comes in a cheap plastic, no packaging.

Other Thoughts: It's small which is good, but I almost lost it the first time I took it out of the USB. I removed the loop which makes it easier to put the cards in and out. After some getting use to, I can now remove and insert the card without removing the reader. Works pretty fast with my Kingston Japan 2GB

Bottomline: Works, cheap, and small anything else you need?

Pros: This is the first MicroSD reader I've purchased, and I think it's great. It's really fast compared to using my phone as a reader for my MicroSD.

It's really small. Like, really small. I've lost it a few times...

There's a place where you could hook it onto a keychain, so that's nice.

Windows detects and installs this really fast. I had a SanDisk USB drive, and on the school computers, it takes forever for it to install its U3 software. Although this wasn't "fast" either, it was plenty faster than my SanDisk USB drive.

It was (I think it still is) the cheapest MicroSD reader at the time of my purchase.

Cons: First time I tried to put my MicroSD in, I literally had to shove it in. It scratched the bottom of my MicroSD. And then, I couldn't take it out. It pissed me off.

Eventually, after sliding it in and out a few times, the reader was easier to use.

Other Thoughts: I love this. I take it with me for all sorts of things. School, games, anything.

By the way, I've tried running Soldat (freeware, fun game) off of it. It works perfectly.

The packaging is kinda crappy. Mine came in bubble-wrapped red bubble-wrap (yes, 2 layers), and then a really small Ziploc-like bag. But it says there is no retail packaging, and it came in perfect shape, so I have no complaints.

Bottomline: Buy it. Use it yourself, give it to friends, anything. It's awesome.

I'm going to buy like, 3 more on my next purchase.

Wow! Worlds Smallest!

Pros: It is freaking cheap
It is very small
It reads microSD cards as advertised
It is quick at reading said cards

Cons: It is very small, not too sure about WORLDS SMALLEST, but then again, it may well be
Probably best to attack this to a keyring or something, or you will lose it
The back of mine comes out a bit when I put a microsd card in it
Needs to be inserted upside downto work

Other Thoughts: Is worlds smallest a company name? I reckon it is.

Bottomline: A very good working card reader for not much at all. Get it!

TINY and USEFUL

Pros: It's really really tiny: can be seen as a good thing. Inserting and removing the microSD into the reader is not as hard as some previous users claim. Perhaps I was lucky? I can place the reader inside my wallet or small pouch in my school knapsack and not worry about it.

Cons: Since it IS small, this can be seen as a bad thing. When not using it, make sure you're working in a uncluttered desk, for example. The reader is made out of a workable plastic but it is not designed for mistreatment. Also, I would not use it as part of my keychain.

Other Thoughts: Much smaller than I had assumed. So small that I had trouble looking for it in the package DX sent. :)

Bottomline: You'll never find anything just as small and cheap elsewhere. Good buy. Thanks DX.
