Nice and compact SD & micro SD card reader
Not a bad little card reader, looks and feels well built and robust. If two SD cards are placed in it at the same time, a computer will recognise and mount both cards. Other devices, such as TV's, will only recognise one card at at time. One downside however, the speed of an SD card when tested 'raw' is about 10Mbps faster than when the same card is tested through this card reader. Fortunately for me, it still does the job - I use it in a TV (with a fast SD card) because USB 2.0 & 3.0 sticks don't seem to be able to cope with HD recordings, even though the TV only has a USB 2.0 port.

Didn't work well
Isn't recognised by my pc very well. Not working at all with usb3 on my system. A bit big and bulky in my opinion.

Excellent product
I have tried many cards readers, need them mainly for photograph transfer, they usually are slow or don't work after a couple of weeks. This one is extremely fast and I can view the photos, (some are very large files) instantly, download is almost as quick. I now leave this plugged into the PC all of the time and just slot the cards in and out. Best one I can remember buying and I have had a few.

Excellent little unit...
I use this with high speed SD cards to transfer large audio recordings, sometimes in excess of 10GB (at 96kHz and 32-Bit), and this little device allows me to plug it straight in to my Mac Pro (2013). Works perfectly, even with microSD cards. Useful to have if your device doesn’t have an SD card port!

Great simple card reader
What a great simple gadget. The card reader is simple to use and intuitive with the two card slots working as they should the face side up for both cards so no more wondering which way round to put the card in , unlike so many other readers. Good value , with a feeling of robustness. All in all just the job

Good value for fast card reader
Good build, fast transferring and compact size make this reader a good travelling companion. I use it to transfer HD and 4K videos on the go. Great value for the cost

TOP product
I have tried many card reders and they either stop work at some point(don't get recognised by the PC) or data transfer Is to slow. Kingston MobileLite G4 does neither one of these. It has a superb design, doesn't feel cheap and plastic and USB 3.0 allows you to transfer data at the maximum speeds supported by the SD card that you use. Won't go wrong with this card reader!

As expected of Kingston, a first class product.
Does exactly what is says in the description, fast, quickly recognised by my PC and it seems impervious to water (not that it's advertised as that) but mine went through a washing machine whilst inadvertently left in my shorts pocket! Left to dry on a window sill and it still works, please don't try this at home as they say.

Quality and works a treat.
This is a great little card reader works fast and is very sturdy. Plus it's small but not too small so it gets lost easily. A real shame it's been discontinued.

Good quality item
Very well made metal card reader the only problem I found was that the male end was to tight a fit into the female usb port on my television or I would have given it 5stars, I had to take some metal of the male end to get it to fit
