A couple things to know........2007-06-06

-It is about as wide as two Cruzer Micro's [the non-retractable kind].
-The cap is quite secure when on either the front or the back of the reader.
-Half of the SD card sticks out the back; the cap still fits over it.
-While the cap is tight, I severely doubt it's "keychain" tight.

As far as I know, this is easily the smallest SD and SDHC (meaning SD >2GB) reader on the market. It functions well as a reader, but the Micromate's wingspan combined with its minimal USB plug length make it tricky to plug into the occasional recessed port.

If you need a nice little small memory card reader this is a nice one. The price is a bit high but I think you get what you pay for. This works great with the high speed SD cards I have. What else can you say? Works as it should.

Good Performance, Average Design.......2007-04-11

This card reader performs very well and is a great choice for reading SD and SDHC media. I have had no problems with the device in terms of functionality, though I do have some minor complaints about the design.

As other reviewers mention, the reader is wide and might block adjacent USB ports on your system.

It comes with a cap to protect the USB plug, which also has a keyring loop. However, this design is nonsensical because the cap is very easily detachable from the device; you could have the cap securely attached to your keychain and still lose the card reader! I would have personally preferred some kind of hook or clip on the back of the reader so it can be more easily attached to a pocket or bag. Even placing the keyring loop on the device instead of the cap would have been an improvement.

While the reader itself works perfectly for me, the design does not seem to have been well thought out. In spite of that, I do recommend the product, though I'm continually worried I'm going to misplace it somewhere!

compact, fast, nicely built SD and SDHC reader.......2007-04-08

Works well on both my Mac OS X and Windows XP configurations, giving the ability to read/write SDHC and SD media. In a nice design detail, the clear cap over the USB connector also fits over the SD card slot while its in use.

Note however that the reader is wide, and doesn't come with a cable extender (minus 1 star on my rating). If your USB ports are side-by-side horizontally, you may have a tough time plugging this in without an extension cable or removing items from neighboring ports. For this price, the cable should be included.

One mystery - there is a hole in the cap to attach a neck strap, but how many times to you need an SD reader so close at hand? And, you could lose the reader but the cap would remain attached.

Overall I'd recommend highly - it's compact, fast, well designed, although a cable extender would make it perfect.

handy little tool to download images from your camera. It's a usb so it's easy to plug and it's quick. I recommend this item!
