I needed an alternative way to get photos from my tablet computer to my Mac Pro. At the time my Bluetooth was not working, so I thought I'd try uploading the photos via the tablet's MicroSD card. I found this Card Reader on the B & H site, and it offered the ability to read several card types. It is fairly well built, but I would not want to drop it. I needed a USB 2.0 extension cord to connect it directly into the tower. After that it worked out okay. FYI, there is a short male cord, which is tucked away in the sliding door on the bottom of the unit. In order for this unit to work properly, you must connect to the short male cord. If you use a double male USB cord to connect from the computer to one of the Card Reader's female USB ports, the unit will not work.

I bought this because of the integrated flip-out USB cable but the cable is not on a hinge. It bends back and forth 180〫to store within the housing and for use. The plastic coating on the cable is already starting to rip from the point at which it locks into place.
It should be fine, I would imagine that the cable can handle some bending. Only time will tell.
Works great for now though! Nice style! Matches my MacBook Pro.

Comments about Moshi Cardette Ultra Memory Card Reader (Silver):
Great slim design, really fast upload, no power source needed
The first time I used it I had approximately 800 images on my card. There were a combination of raw and jpeg and it took a little less than 3 minutes to transfer all of them to my laptop.

This card reader is delightful. It is pretty, works great, and is compact. I love the way that the cord hides when you're not using it. I would HIGHLY recommend this card reader. It is worth the price since it works incredibly well.

Comments about Moshi Cardette Ultra Memory Card Reader (Silver):
I was excited to see a well designed and cool card reader but after about 6 months of pretty extensive use and travel, the contacts wore out and it would constantly disconnect even while sitting perfectly still and untouched on a table. Within two weeks after this began happening, I couldn't keep a connection long enough to even begin to import.

Comments about Moshi Cardette Ultra Memory Card Reader (Silver):
A little expensive, but does what it should and seem so be well built. I like the usb cable's ability to tuck into the compartment as well as it having a usb hub. Also it includes an extension usb cable. Great reader/not problems.

Comments about Moshi Cardette Ultra Memory Card Reader (Silver):
It's a card reader, so there is not much to say. I've been using a firewire 400 one until it broke. I bought this one and it turned out to be way faster and better looking. I'm happy with it! I also like that the cable tucks in :)

Comments about Moshi Cardette Ultra Memory Card Reader (Silver):
I am photographer/videographer and I use this device quite frequently. In fact, without it, I am lost as to how to upload files to my computer, which ultimately thwarts my creative process. I almost would buy two of these: one for at home, and one for the camera case. It is stylish and has a storage place for the cord which is really nice. It is fast with transferring information and it is universal with both Mac and PC. I strongly recommend buying one of these: for the price you pay, it's worth it.

Comments about Moshi Cardette Ultra Memory Card Reader (Silver):
I purchased this memory card reader for my macbook pro for when I'm on the road taking livestock pictures. I have not used it alot yet but so far I Love it. It is lightweight, slim, and has a slider to tuck the cord away. So far I haven't found anything I would change about it.

Comments about Moshi Cardette Ultra Memory Card Reader (Silver):
Used with Mac OS X 10.6 and Windows 7 PC;reads all my SDHC and CF cards from any camera. I was finding some of my older USB and USB 2.0 readers would not always read all cards on PC and/or Mac platforms.
The Moshi Cardette is portable and fully compatible in any combination of card type and computer platform

This card reader is nice looking, and functions as specified. The USB cable tucks away nicely within the aluminum top that slides to open and close. It also comes with an extension USB cable if needed. Big things do come in small packages!
