This reader is the shizzle. It's fast, sleek, and get it done. When I have a need for downloading speed, I know who to call. And it ain't the Ghostbusters. It is the MobileLite G2 Super card reader by my good homies, Kingston. That's how I do and I like to do with this super card reader.

Works as advertised. Only complaint is that the one slot is a large opening for several types of media and doesn't have a definitive guide for the Sony Memory stick. The memory slides in kind of loosely. It does work though and the reader was inexpensive.

Comments about Kingston MobileLiteG2 Memory Card Reader:
Small, Compact and very good USB ready device to use as a thumb drive if needed. Reads most memory cards and the extra knotch to protect the smaller cards from breaking was a good idea. Ive used it to read memory cards from blackberries and also transfer files.

The reader works fine for SDHC, but not SDXC. Get something else if you have a high capacity SD card.

Comments about Kingston MobileLiteG2 Memory Card Reader:
I am not really a fan of the expanding/contracting protectors. I suppose they are better than end caps which get lost. So far, I've not had any issues with these units failing in any way.

Comments about Kingston MobileLiteG2 Memory Card Reader:
My laptop does not have a built in card reader and my old readers did not support high capacity cards. I needed something small and reliable to carry in my laptop case. I chose the Kingston because of it's price and features. It is exactly what I wanted with no exceptions. There's nothing to fault. It does it's job and is well built. The pull out covers may not be necessary but are a nice option. You can't go wrong here. It reads the SD and SDHC cards easily. 'Nuff said.

Comments about Kingston MobileLiteG2 Memory Card Reader:
We searched high and low for the right price and the right Memory Card Reader for our high school photography students. This was the best deal we found after a lot of searching and it works well with all of the constant use in the classroom. Easy to use, not easy to break. That is exactly what we need and fortunately we found it. We bought 20 of them and we are happy with our choice.

Good device suggested by the seller in replacement of an original usb cable only to transfer the photos. With this device I only need to use the memory card and not the intire camera.

Comments about Kingston MobileLiteG2 Memory Card Reader:
I normally just plug it directly to my laptop to download data from cards. I love that there's no chords and it's compact and easy to use. It also has a short extension which has come in handy whenever I use it with desktops where USB access is complicated.

Comments about Kingston MobileLiteG2 Memory Card Reader:
Plugged it in, my Windows XP machine figured out what it was and boom it was up and running. No problem, seems to be fast and reliable so far.
the pull out covers are a little fiddly, but I just leave them pushed in.

Comments about Kingston MobileLiteG2 Memory Card Reader:
I gave this four stars because it does exactly what it needs to do very well--it transfers my files off of my memory card. However, when you slide out the back side to protect the card readers, it's wiggly and feels like it could very easily break off. This does not apply to the part covering the USB connector, only the back side, so I just never slide it back and only slide the USB connector closed. I should probably give this three stars because I think this build issue is a big problem. I do, however, love how the reader is really small and it functions very well.

Comments about Kingston MobileLiteG2 Memory Card Reader:
What I really wanted was an adapter that would allow a memory stick pro duo to be read in a SD slot. Apparently not available. I tested 4 readers and this was the quickest by a small margin. 1.7 gigabytes of raw files in 45 seconds. It does seem a little flimsy.

I bought it because i liked the size and on the package it says it works with Sony Memory Card Duo. In fact not only didn't work with the Sony cards but the back part came loose after a few uses with and SDHC card.
