Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not so easy to put the card in
Review: If you have an extra SD card this inexpensive memory card reader is a good way to convert it into thumb drive. However, if you want something that will allow you to easily connect your SD card to your computer, you might look at something else. In order to insert the SD card you have to pry the cover off and slide the card directly onto some exposed pins. It is not that hard but it is kind of a sketchy affair as the device feels a bit flimsy. It is not like a slot on a camera where you just press it in once and again to release it.

Other than that, the device works well. It is very light.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good electronics, cheap plastic.
Review: This SD card reader is very simple and fast. I love having it on my keychain so that I can transfer files to and from my iPAQ on a machine other than my home computer. My only complaint is that the grey plastic cover was soon lost because the way it snaps on wears out very quickly. So far the keychain still works, but it is much uglier without the cover and I am afraid it will eventually break. For this product to be labeled a keychain, I think it should be built more sturdily. If you will not be subjecting it to harsh conditions as I am, consider this rating a 5-star.
