Review on πŸ”§ Swiss Army Knife Design Memory Card Storage Case: Organize and Read Multiple Cards (3 SD & 8 Micro SD) with Built-in Micro SD Reader (USB) by Brandon Addison

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Want to love but difficult to remove SD cards.

I really want to love this business card holder but I can't. These are my first impressions after two days of use, maybe the issues will resolve themselves with time and use. The Good: The build feels very solid, especially considering it's under $8. Going back and reading some of the other reviews I don't see any issues with loops. The SIM eject tool is a bit flimsy (I accidentally bent it trying to use it to remove the micro SD card from the slot in the card holder), but it's okay. I abused the extractor, so it was more my fault. Slightly better: The thumbdrive reader is actually quite well made (actually made of metal), my only problem is removing the SD card again. They're pretty good at it and difficult to get out with just your fingernails (possibly with tweezers, but you can use your fingers too). This is only a problem if the card needs to be changed regularly. The reader itself is almost worth the purchase price (upgraded it from 2 to 3 stars. BAD: Micro SD card slots are too narrow. I feel like I'll ruin my cards by inserting them) Either the clips are too thick for the card (I can try thinning it out a bit with sandpaper and acetone) or some relief needs to be added to the bottom of the foil to help the card slide easier. It doesn't give a good overview and this holder will probably only be useful for long trips when I need maps but don't plan on using them regularly. Technical Thoughts: I think what most likely happened is that when the blades were initially made and cooled, they shrunk a little more than intended. This is the reason for the micro SD card slot too narrow issues and some issues . People have loose hinges.
