Hacking M3 branded micro SD card reader...

...Did they change how they were made, or do people fail at common sense?

Yeah the MSD slot is really tight I thought I was going to break it.

Curiously, it has the same shape as a SanDisk reader, so I thought it was just a rebranded SanDisk one.

its a knockoff sandisk

you can buy a real one on amazon for only a few $

yeh, they probably molded he shell and then made it out of crusty plastic, doesnt work for me

 

[Joe88]

they just buy them wholesale from china and such (you can find the exact same reader on dx without the logo) then just get them branded with the m3 logo

the old reader wasnt any good either, it was probably alot worse
mine worked for about 3 weeks then died
the same exact one that came with my itouchds never worked

but the sandisk one I got has been working for over 2 years for only $0.99

but since I got a laptop and installed a memory card reader in my desktop I just use the converter to make it an sd card and use that now

ya i find it more easier an convenient to use the SD card adapter on the micro sd and just inserting it into my brother's laptop

I'd say they changed the way it was made... you have multiple people saying they can't get their microSD cards inside these things... so obviously... they are no longer usable... the gap is far too small to fit a card inside...
