Most Favorable Review

Works perfectly

Sabrent Mini USB 3.0 Micro SD and SD Card Reader (CR-UMSS)
Sabrent Mini USB 3.0 Micro SD and SD Card Reader (CR-UMSS)

Pros: Works great, and won't let you plug the cards in upside down.

Cons: The cap is a bit hard to remove.

Overall Review: There's no reason not to buy this one if you need an SD card reader.

Most Critical Review

broke after 3 months

Foxconn R10-S4 Intel 945GC Barebone
Foxconn R10-S4 Intel 945GC Barebone

Pros: Small, cheap, cool.

Cons: The power supply fan bearing seized up after 3 months. The fan can't be extracted from the PSU, and the PSU is a nonstandard size, and can't be bought separately from the barebone package. Basically, I'd have to buy another entire barebone just to recover from the fan bearing failure. No thanks, and no more Foxconn for me.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for.

No separate power cord

Lite-On EBAU108 External DVD-Writer - Black
Lite-On EBAU108 External DVD-Writer - Black

Pros: It's nice not to have to plus in two cords to use it.

Cons: Since it's bus powered, it's possible to not pull enough power from your average hub. Plug it into a powered hub or directly into a motherboard port.

Overall Review: It works great but getting the discs in and out is physically a bit awkward, as you have to pull it out by hand and it needs plenty of space to fully extend.

No problems

Overall Review: These are perfectly good micro SD cards.

Fantastic case

OtterBox Defender Black Solid Case for Motorola ATRIX 2 MOT2-ATRX2-20-E4OTR
OtterBox Defender Black Solid Case for Motorola ATRIX 2 MOT2-ATRX2-20-E4OTR

Pros: Otterbox thought of almost everything. The flap for the USB/ HDMI ports is large enough for comfort, and you can even plug in cables while it's in the holster. Not a single thing is obscured or hard to reach. The holster doubles as a stand, propping the phone at a slight angle from the vertical when locked open.

Cons: It's not cheap, even at Newegg's prices. It was a bit of a head-scratcher to figure out how to get it on the phone. It makes the phone about three times as thick as without the case. It's not waterproof.

It's a cable

Link Depot MUSB-3 Black USB A/male to Micro USB 5 pin male
Link Depot MUSB-3 Black USB A/male to Micro USB 5 pin male

Pros: - cheap - does what it says

Cons: - it's not free? - it's not incredibly long?

Overall Review: Unlike another reviewer, I had no trouble with plugging it into my phone while it's in a case.
