Checking the user comments on Amazon, only one port works at a time also the USB port cannot be used for charging. There are also issues if you have your tablet in a case. I could not find any comment about the upper limit for a memory card if there is one.

Upper limit would depend on device I'm guessing... I I'm using a 32gb class 10

The upper limit depends on the reader. There are plenty of "upto 16GB" SD card readers being sold. I would not buy any reader that I could not identify its upper limit.

It's also a mechanical nightmare. Any microUSB adapter like this is going to have to be built to grip the edge of the device, before I'll be interested. Otherwise, one accidental bump and bam, there goes your microUSB port!

It actually sits perfectly flush with the device... very sturdy... It does cover up the headphone jack though

That's a turn OFF for me... Imagine if you want to watch a movie from your SD card using the headphones while sitting on an air plane or anywhere. Now.. if only there were female microusb to female microusb extension cables. :fingers-crossed:

I wonder if the description and picture are correct. The picture looks more like a micro female connector to me, but the description does say mini....

You're right - zooming in on the female end, it does look like micro.

I guess it's a crapshoot whether the picture is correct, or the description is correct. Can't be both though!
