Have 2 of these, 1 of which is always in my shoulder bag. They are not glamorous but they handle SD and micro SD cards reliably and that is what they should do. Sometimes wish they had a loop for carry strap but minor thing.

I bought this to use micro hdsc cards in a pc. That requires an adapter, but the adpter came with the card, so not a big deal. The form factor is nice, it has a cap, and it works fine with xp without loading any drivers.

SD card fits into side of unit and still clears the little door covering the USB port on my desktop computer.
