I've been holding off on actually getting an adapter so that I don't have to deal with the raw PCB being exposed. Wondering if anyone has seen anything like what the link below. Are we still to early for something like this? Or is it not even worth waiting?

Unless you still want to use carts, the SD2Vita sits in the slot and doesn't need to be removed unless you want to remove it. Doesn't really matter that it's exposed unless you keep taking it in and out and handle it roughly while doing so. The Micro SD can be easily removed by pushing down and having it click back up.

That being said, someone will make a cased one probably. There just isn't a whole lot of demand.

more or less, its just a modified pcb (the happy face ones), no case. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive from China from 12 days ago.

That looks more stable though(? ). Anyone seen any reviews for them? Are they coming from the same manufacturer?

Ordered a Version like this. Called a Version 2.0 . Comes either as Red or Black. I think the Black Would be better for me though. But cant say for sure how good it is, because I will get it in a few Weeks to a Month.
Note, Version I got was $2, so I probably will have to buy one that is $16

I think this is the same, but more cheap

Please, tell us when you tested
I'll upload some comparison photos now next to original cart

I've actually brought quite a few of these sd2vitas from all different sources and different versions and haven't had any problems with any of them. So I doubt these smiley face ones will be a problem.

The smiley face part is just a sticker stuck on it that goes down to the contacts

Well after 10 minutes of trying to get it in I can't get it out now lol. It keeps catching the springs when trying to pop it in and had to apply some serious twisting movements to get it in. Won't come out now though so the idea of a easy push eject solution isn't with these things. It too tight to eject itself from the springs. Avoid these.

It's not good Madridi the spring mechanism doesn't work at all. It runs fine I've placed a sd card in it and set it up. Not sure if there all manufactured the same from eBay but it's stuck in there and there's little room to get tweezers in. I'm gonna leave it in this vita and I'm not gonna use the other smiley face one.

Thanks for the heads up. Will stick to the sd2vita adapters that are just the bare board for now.
