Flexible use data transfer solution for PCs, phones and tablets
This microSD card reader seems to be much more solid than the cheaper models that are available for under a pound from Chinese direct sellers. Due to the failure rates I've experienced with cheaper units, I now have two of these. I keep large capacity cards in both of them and they are used as multi-purpose USB thumb drives. I use the USB type A end to transfer data to and from my PC. Instead of connecting my phone to my PC to transfer data, I now use the reader's type C connector, which I find more reliable than having to try and get my PC to recognise my phone as a file transfer device.
For travelling, I wanted to have the same travel documents on both my phone and tablet. This reader allowed me to use my PC to copy all of the documents to the card in it and then, at my leisure, connect the reader to my devices and copy the documents from it (i.e. I could wait until I was on the plane to actually perform the copy to the devices). Also, if all else fails, it's good to have the option of removing the card from the reader and inserting it directly into a device (e.g. if the target device has a micro-USB connector and there is no adapter at hand).
It feels good in the hand, mostly due to the metal casing. The supplied cord works as something to attach it to a keyring but also keeps the blue plastic cap tethered to the reader and reduces the risk of losing it.
A lot of reviews mention that the casing gets hot. I'd agree that it can get quite warm but I think this is normal and not something that I'm overly concerned with.Read full review...

Kingston Quality
The Kingston Duo 3C microSD card reader is a quality, compact device. It works very well on both my laptop USB and my mobile phone with USB C. Worth the money to always have this in the kit for mobile devicesRead full review...
