    Hello all,

    I am looking for a USB Thumb SD reader with a keychain hole. I found couple of them but its either doesnt have a keychain hole, or no protection. Basically, I am looking for a SD reader acts/look alike a USB thumb drive. Currenty, I have the SanDisk Mobilemate, its good, but it doesnt hide the card.

    Any info will be appreciated.

    I don't have any suggestions for what you want, but I have one of these, ran it through the washer and dryer 3 times... I keep it in my wallet without the wallet protector.. and still works after years of wear and tear. I just ordered another one(my old one is only 512, the new one is 2 gig).

    I got one of these and it works great. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's a little wider than most usb devices so if you have something in the port next door it might be a little snug, but it's great because sd card prices are dropping and each sd card is now a little thumb drive.

    Syndrome: Yeah, if I cant find what I am looking for, I will just buy a regular USB drive.

    Pitabred: That's what I am looking for, but I need more options.

    StuffLuster: Too bad that reader doesnt have a keychain hole.

    Yeah, I live in Canada where we don't have 1 or 2 dollar bills; only coins. So I have tons of change and a change purse so I don't lose it all to my car seat, and I put it in there. Oh well. A quick google/ebay search tells me there's no such device.

    Superglue + keychain = keychain hole. If you can't find exactly what you want, no reason you can't fix it yourself ;)
