Small, cheap and therefor OK

Overall Rating:

Pros: It is indeed a very small cardreader, just a bit larger than the microsd card itself. I have no idea about the speed, but it a really nice tiny thing and could even be used as a regular usb stick.
 
Cons: No so durable. Black shielding around plastic cable came loose after couple of months. Top yellow part came loose as well, but it is still usable.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: I bought it for 2,95 and was happy with it. I see now it is just a little more than 1 dollar. Excellent buy, but if you really use it as a keychain, don't expect the cord and the plastic to last for months.

Cheap is what you get

Overall Rating:

Pros: * Cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap
* Small (see my CD Box pictures)
* Not bad looking
 
Cons: * Verry fragile
* Made to be a USB stick, and not really an adapter. It's hard to pull out a Micro SD card when it's fully inserted.
* The contacts with the Micro SD card are not that good. When you don't plug in the card fully, it won't make contact.
* It's hard to plug in and pull out the adapter when not using the cord that is attached.
* The cord will easily come of when you try to remove this stick using the cord.
 
Other Thoughts: At first I had to find out how to insert the micro SD card... not as easy as you think !
 
Bottomline: You get what you pay for... The low build quality makes this drive a one time user, and then ready for the garbage can.
If you use it as plain usb Stick, it will last longer, and you'll have something compact!

Small and cheap

Pros: It is cheap, very small, light weight and do exactly what I expected. The build quality is good. The microsd card fix on it perfectly and the cap works well  protecting it. You can't find a device like this one for this price here in Brazil.
 
Cons: The strap is good to not lose it - I use it as a keychain. But you can't pull it using the strap because it will break. And the hook don't work (I bought 3 of then)
 
Other Thoughts: The strap fix could be strong. It apears to work as a USB 2.0 high speed device (but it's dificult to verify!)
 
Bottomline: Highly recommended. I have and will order more of these devices. I think it's better than a pendrive that is bigger and do exactly the same.
