2 out of 5 eggsCould Not Write to SD cards

Pros: Reads/writes Pro Duo cards (Sony PSP). Was able to read SD cards but not write to them.

Cons: Could not write data to SD cards.

Other Thoughts: I didn't see many other reviewers having this issue, so I probably got a lemon. Oh well, it's only $7.99

Manufacturer Response:

4 out of 5 eggsWorth the price

Pros: Cards fit in slots nicely. No need to install unwanted software. Compact and easy to put in pocket. Connect through USB, drag and drop.

Cons: USB cable is short.

Other Thoughts: If the card reader had a USB extension cable accessory or just a longer USB cable this would be a 5 egg.

1 out of 5 eggsJust plain junk

Pros: none

Cons: Although I'veowned this for a while I never used it. I had it in my camera bag so I could use it with my laptop while I was away. Most times I just used my desktop and the card reader I had there. Total use of this reader was under 5 times. Placed a card in it heard a click and now it doesnt work. I'm afraid to put another card into this for fear of breaking the card which is worth more that the card reader. At this price doesn't pay to return it and its probally way out of warrentee. If I used this I would ahve broked this one in a week but this was my back up so now I'm beat for this. Was also very difficult to insert cards, maybe thats why the click. Could they make this cord any shorter?

Other Thoughts: save your money on this

5 out of 5 eggsWorks just fine

Pros: Supports pretty much any card format you will have laying around

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I have 2 of iogear's smaller USB card readers (SDHC-microSD) and they work great. Found an old cellphone with the MINI SD card and I needed a reader for that, had some old pictures I didn't want to lose. This reader worked great and cost less then $10.

4 out of 5 eggsWorks good

Pros: Portable, easy to carry and recognized by Linux, Windows, Android.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks for USB OTG for smartphones

Pros: Love the versatility in a compact size.

Cons: Maybe a little too big still

Other Thoughts: No other reviews mention USB On The Go compatibility, so I just wanted to toss in my experience that it works for this on my HTC One XL (AT&T One X, rooted with custom kernel and using StickMount). It should work fine for any other phone already supporting OTG.
