Pros: What can i say? it works as advertised and is durable and compact.
I have 2 of these and use one most of the time. They have been used alot and still work fine everytime after more than a year.
Cons: I really don't have any complaints about this product at all.
Other Thoughts: One thing is that since they aren't attached, you will end up loosing one or both covers on this device. Not that it matters, mine work fine and i lost the cap for the SD card side a year ago. I was worried about dust or junk messing up the contacts without the cover on, but i have no signs of any issues yet....and i don't expect any at this point,given my heavy exposure to them..
Bottomline: this is a great deal on a quality product. Thank you, DX!
Not bad for the price

Pros: Reads a lot of different cards - have had not reading problems yet. Reads SHDC, SD and micro SDs with not problems.
Cons: -Needs to be on a powered usb port (my findings...).
-Caps are pretty fragile - cracked one of mine within hours.
-A little big.
Other Thoughts: I've listed more cons than pros but this is still good card reader especially for the price. It would be nice if the casing was nicer but you can't have everything. I'll be buying more of these for each of my computers just for the convenience.
Bottomline: Totally recommended because of the price/performance - despite minor build quality issues.
Very good by too wide

Pros: Great to hv one single reader for both SD and microSD. It is doing what you can expect for a very low price.
Really reading HC cards (tested with SD HC 4Go, 8Go, 16Go and microSD HC 4Go, 8Go).
Came in blue as on the picture
Cons: "13-in-1 reader" => Don't see where DX can find 13 formats... It is reading SD and MicroSD directly. All the other format must be smaller than SD size and must use an adaptator... But even with adaptator, I did not find 13 formats... Anyway, this is not an issue for me as i was searching one single reader for my microSD and SD.
Build quality is very poor.
Cap cannot be closed when a SD card is connected (can be with a microSD).
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Regarding the price, it is really a good deal. It is doing what you are expecting
Regarding the quality, I will not pay more than these 2.57$
Get what youpaid for

Pros: Electronics works good and fast.
have extra socket for micro sd card.
Cons: Poor construction design.
Caps without any edges for hardness.
Device is to wide to be mechanically strong without any edges in caps.
One cap crashed after 3rd use.
Other Thoughts: Claims to be able to drag and drop between cards but does not.
When connected to computer with two cards always shows only one card.
So drag and drop works only between reader and other devices connected to computer.
Bottomline: Device exactly worth what you paid for.
Usable as reader.
Because of poor mechanical strengths not usable if you wont to carry it with you as a jump drive.
It is still better then poor designed jump drive (When it mechanically crashed you still have your data on card. With mechanically crashed jump drive - you loosing drive and data)
