Product Description: SanDisk's MicroMate Readers/Writers line is compact in design and dedicated to a select type of card formats. These readers are perfect as an extra set to carry around in your briefcase, purse, or on your keychain. MicroMate for SD supports SD and SDHC.
Invaluable -- love it! One of my most useful tech items. It's great to have an inexpensive card reader that so small and portable -- no wires, no bulk. My only minor quibble is that I wish it came with TWO plastic covers -- one for each end, so you could both cover the SD slot AND protect the USB plug simultaneously during transport. In most situations, the the exposed SD slot probably isn't much of a problem, but if I had my druthers... anyway, as I said, a mere quibble.
Simply perfect. This is nothing fancy - just a simple, streamlined plug and play USB card reader. It is as small as a SD Card reader could be, just a little bit wider and thicker than the card itself. If you have a computer with cramped ports, you'll want to get a USB extension.
Think About It Product is OK. Problem was the design does not lend itself for US Port (s) on neither my desktop (Dell Dell XPS410) or laptop (Gateway 450). My fault - check out your computer before buying an adapter.
Great Product with limitations This product works very well reading SD Cards and as fast as any internal reader. The design is poor in that it limits the USB ports it can access because of the wide body of the reader. I could not use this reader on any of my desktop computers with front USB ports. This reader doesn't fit into the space allowed. It would have been a better design if they made it so it could fit like most thumb drives. The lanyard hole should have been placed in the body, again like a thumb drive. It did fit fine and work well with all my laptops. Because of the fit issues I could only give this reader 4 stars.
Not sold in stores I was very surprised to run across this card reader for sale via the Amazon market place. The SDDR-113-A (white version) is readily avialble but the 113-B (BLACK) is only bundled with some of Sandisk's 4GB & 8GB SDHC cards. I assume the seller has separated the reader from the aforementioned 4GB/8GB combos as my reader arrived without any retail packaging.
The reader performs the same as the white version and readily recognizes and reads regular SD and SDHC cards. The reader is very compact and fits snugly in my Canon S3's case (Canon's PSC-75 Deluxe Soft Case) along with a set of batteries. Read and transfer speeds are great. My only complaints are that the lanyard ring is built into the plastic cap and not the reader itself and that this reader is so hard to find by itself in the 1st place.
