    I love these cheap meritline deals but I will have to say that I wouldn't trust this one, atleast not with anything important.

    there is a distinct difference between a cheap and a quality card adapter, the cheap ones tend to break or intermittently fail, and this could lead to the destruction and loss of your data on your card, and maybe even break your card in a worst case scenario.

    I got a cheap one that came with my M3 and it sucks and feels like its going to rip the contacts off my micro sd card when I push it in, while my real one that came with the SD card is just a perfect fit and always works.

    So I am not saying dont buy, just test it first before you trust it with something important.
