True, you could always swing for one of those MicroSD-to-SD adapter cards, but there are a whole lot of systems, and laptops especially, that don’t have card readers. And SD cards are prone to breakage and contact damage, depending on what kind of beating your gear takes. Brando’s reader actually fits the MicroSD card inside the USB connector, which you then slip into any USB port, and eject using the small yellow button.

This card reader is absolutely small, and could probably fit inside the pocket normally reserved for identification cards in most laptop bags. It comes with a keychain attachment, and could generally make your cell phone’s music, pictures, and other data a lot more accessible without having to carry a separate cable. If this one’s just a bit too small for you, you could try a more thumb-drive-sized solution like this Kingston model, but we’re digging this reader for its serious dedication to lightening your laptop load.

The USB MicroSD Card Reader is $10 ordered from Brando, with an average shipping cost of $3 (U.S.).
