I got the little tiny micro usb direct to mSD adaptor for $5 from dx.com. WONDERFUL. FLAT OUT WONDERFUL.
I am buying 3 more. first its pretty big actually but there is an upside. open it up and its MICRO in extreme and RIPE for hacking. BONUS it works in BOTH my S3 and my Note II (my other adaptor not only stopped working all together but it would work in the Note II but not the S3 for some reason)
this is so much nicer. takes a little modding but the result is amazingly convenient. love the USB adaptor that comes with it too.
pop that little bugger open (it opens) and this slides right out easily
notice that little bit of plastic I cut up? thats for this
so you end up with this
and because its not so skinny it fits even with my super thick protective cases NO problem.
LOVE IT
and in my Note II with its super thick case.
now that I know it works I will properly glue that cap in place and get rid of the ugly tape and put some heat shrink tubing on it ti pretty it up.
THERE ARE ALSO 5 distinct "contacts" actually tiny rigid wires. so it should be possible to snip them and add "wires" to allow a tiny plug on the device and the actual SD slot to be mounted to the BACK of the device. this will permit "semi permanent" installations on screwed up devices like the nexus ten that some idiot though would be a great idea to make a 2550x1440 display panel power house device with only 16gb of useless storage. morons
