1 out of 5 stars will ruin your card!   October 10, 2008
ive had this for a few months now. yes, it does its job for a little while, but it's extremely cheap plastic and will ruin your card! like the other reviews say, its difficult to get the card in, and when you push it in, the metal contacts in the reader scratch the contacts on your card, so eventually it becomes so scratched that the card doesn't work anymore!!!! dont waste your money on this unless you want to lose your info and keep having to buy cards. what a piece of crap!


2 out of 5 stars difficult to remove memory stick.   November 4, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The reader works well and is great if you are going to use it as an extra flash drive and leave the memory stick in it. If you are wanting to use it to download different memory sticks to computer it is not the one you want. Changing the memory stick is difficult it doesn't open easily and it is hard to get the stick out of it.


2 out of 5 stars It functions, but clumsy to use   October 24, 2006
I was expecting a portable USB drive in which I could simply slide my memory card in and out of the device at will. Turns out that you have to remove the cover by depressing an indented section of the end of the device, and then you can slide your memory card into the reader. To remove the memory stick from the reader is more of a challenege. You need to use your fingernail or the edge of the cover to catch the edge of the memory card where it protrudes from the protective metal housing, and then push it out. LAME LAME LAME.

The blue light is cool, but that's about it. I know this product is marketed as a memory "drive", but that's no justification for its inefficient clumsy design. How hard can it be to continue to call this a "drive", yet make the memory stick more easily "hot swappable" at the same time?

I take a lot of digital pictures and was swapping my memory stick in and out of my previous reader all of the time until a static charge ruined it.

This reader is NOT suited for my needs. If you want a reader that is efficient to use, look elsewhere.
