 does the job AS A READER Apr 22, 2011
By J. Perry
This is my 3rd SD card reader, 2nd micro SD card reader. After trying it as a flash drive I have concluded that:
1) it is not a flash drive.
2) it should not be used as a flash drive.
Many people give these bad reviews because they use them for usb drives to play mp3's through the usb port on a car stereo. Or, like me, plugged it into an xbox to (try to) work around not throwing down $100+ for a proper xbox 360 hard drive.
The wiring and the pins that cunduct the transfer of info on these things are soooooo thin, fragile, and no matter how reputable of a brand, extremely cost efficient. (cheap) So yes, they will fry and die after constant use.
Imagine a light bulb left on constantly, it'd probably burn out in a month or less. But if the same light bulb is only turned on once in a while in a hallway, it will last for years.
Hope that makes sense.
Long story not so short, the sandisk micromate is perfect for you. Because you are looking for a good reader to transfer info and media to/from a micro sd card.

 Great Reader, Extremely Small Size Sep 04, 2009
By Michael Shreeves
tl;dr
Pros: Teeny-tiny, Fast transfer of big files, Holds card securely
Cons: Might be hard to remove card, Too slow for apps, Weird heat problems
Firstly, when I was shopping around for this reader, I did not actually understand how small it would be. The round part is literally smaller than a dime. This was never a problem, because the key-chain attachment is sturdy and I have yet to misplace it.
Some reviewers on other pages have had trouble with the item splitting along the plastic divide when pulliing the reader out of a port, but I haven't encountered this problem. My MobileMate was a little tight in the USB port, but with a little regular use that became much less of a problem.
The reader accepts MicroSD and MicroSDHC with no trouble. I haven't tried an M2 card, but I don't forsee any problem with it. The MicroSD cards fit all the way into the protective area, with only a bit of the face and the removal tab showing. They are held in snugly enough that I am unworried carrying the reader around with one in it at all times, but are still easy to remove, provided you have a bit of fingernail.
I only have two complaints/concerns with this product.
My concern is that, when left in a USB port and used for any fair amount of time, the MobileMate gets very hot. I've yet to have it melt or anything, but it makes me worry.
My complaint is more of a misjudgment on my part. I'd ordered this reader and a MicroSDHC card in lieu of a flash drive, because I thought it would be neat to have something so small. Now, while this reader and MicroSD cards in general have a phenomenal transfer rate with larger files, the performance drops like a rock when transferring a lot of very small files (like, say, if you were trying to run Portable Firefox).
With the heat issue and the lag I get on Portable Apps, I've basically decided to keep my MobileMate and cards for large data transfers and cellphone data stuff, not to mention that it's just a cool thing to have around. Plus the BlueProton deals with MicroSD cards (if they're still around) are excellent. But I'm buying a OCZ 4GB Rally 2 USB 2.0 Flash Drive (OCZUSBR2DC-4GB) for portable stuff.

Sandisk Micromate Aug 09, 2010
By ssmoran
This is a great little tool for getting information to or from your micro SD card. Haven't use it long enough to rate the durability factor but it couldn't be easier to use.

 Also having problems with contacts - not reading May 23, 2010
By Dr. Devesh
Liked it due to its small size. Made of plastic, but seemed durable enough. Unfortunately after a few months of very light use, it no longer reads. Seems to be a problem with contacts, as another reviewer mentioned. Sure it's only [...] bucks, but it's annoying when you need it.

 JUNK Feb 19, 2012
By alist
Failed after one week, don't waste your time or money. The size is great, very lightweight, but it heats up with heavy use. Priced so well, it's not worth sending back when it fails.
