Sorry..don't search for the half priced one, I think I was wrong, after going through my history and searching for it again I came to the conclusion that I mistook it with this one http://www.nikingstore.com/shop/2-in-1-usb-micro-sd-tf-card-reader-with-otg-1402.html which is somewhat similar. It was late at night and I was tired when I bought it...so that must have been the reason for my confusion haha Now I feel better knowing that I bought the Team M141 at the best price :good:

Sure, if I have time I'll write my impressions and upload some pics when it arrives....the problem is that it'll take a week or two to arrive.
[G2 Accessories] Chris Hansen:
Please let me know how it is, I received my CR-128 2-in-1 USB / Micro USB OTG & Micro SD Memory Card Reader - White + Silver (Max. 32GB) yesterday, and it's a piece of junk. The cap didn't fit well at all on the micro USB end - it would slip off easily. Worse, the thing didn't work with my phone. It kept saying 'SD card removed" over and over when I plugged it in.
[G2 Accessories] andrew_rm:
Sorry to hear that, yeah that's what I thought about the build quality upon closer inspecting the photos.

I'm still waiting to receive mine, which should arrive any day now...will keep you informed.
[G2 Accessories] andrew_rm:
Ok, so I finally received the TeamGroup OTG microReader (M141) , and after a few minutes trying it out I can say I'm very satisfied with the purchase, the quality seems pretty good, nice finishes...it doesn't look cheap as other ebay products, the size is smaller than I expected as well.

I had no trouble connecting it to my LG G2 nor my Laptop, it fits tightly in the USB ports and both detected it immediately. I bench-marked it as well on my mobile (using SD Tools app) with a 32Gb Lexar MicroSD-HC Class 10 (Write speed: 17.7MB/s - Read speed: 178.0 MB/s).

Check out the attached photos. I highly recommend this USB-OTG card reader!
[G2 Accessories] Izy:
Bought one of the cheap white ones from ebay using with a transcend uhs 1 32gb ultimate.

Usb read speeds are about 21mbs when reading to pc as opposed to 60mbs+ i get usong card reader (clevo w370st) must be usb limitations

Write speed i get is roughly the same from pc to usb as it is from pc to sd which is around 15mb/s
[G2 Accessories] sefirosu0522:
How did you get the black one? All I see is white and silver.

EDIT: Never mind. Clicked the wrong link.
[G2 Accessories] freerogers:
I just got mine today. I ordered it from the meenova site after the Kickstarter campaign had ended and it was up for preorder there.

It is an awesome little device. Definitely worth the asking price. As you can see, it can easily be carried around. It also comes with a micro usb to regular usb adapter. I have a 64GB micro sdhc card in my GS3, and I'm planning on using it for my new phone (perhaps the Nexus 5). I did take it out and put the card in the slot you see, and it worked flawlessly. The card slides in snugly like you think it would, and when you plug the device in, the card is on the bottom side so you don't see it. With the case on my phone and the phone laying flat, the device is actually off the surface, so it is not terribly thick. The clear plastic piece/ring lights up blue when plugged in. It is a bit annoying that it flashes when reading from the card like while playing a movie/show, but otherwise, I have no issues.

Oh, the cap clips on really tight to the point where it is not easily removed. No worries about losing it. There is a lanyard/keyring type hole in the cap as well, if that was a concern. No issues with using my credit card.
[G2 Accessories] Drroid:
I figured I'd go ahead and show off mine with the packaging and all. And yes, it's orange.
[G2 Accessories] neoxkid:
Does it get hot when the device reading from it?
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
I'm my original post I said I bought it and it works well with my G2. And many xda members from the HTC One forum have also purchased it. So yes... it's trusted and safe to use your credit card. You can use PayPal as well.
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Well let me just add a picture of mine too then :)

Unfortunately, I bought the silver one to match my HTC One, so it stands out when I use it with my black G2. Haven't decided yet if it bothers me enough to purchase another one... haha
[G2 Accessories] shook187:
What happened to your HTC One? Out of curiosity what made you move over to the G2?
[G2 Accessories] freerogers:
I haven't yet used it enough to say for certain, but I haven't noticed it get hot. I did try playing a video for a while, and I noticed it got a little warm, but nothing that would concern me whatsoever.
[G2 Accessories] hd-renegade:
I did not see where Pay Pal was an option for payment on that??
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Crap. You're right. I don't know why I was thinking that. I apparently purchase way too many things and can't keep up with the payment options. :P

Sorry about that!!
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
I still have my HTC One. Today is the last day of my return period for the G2. I bought it because of the larger screen (and slim bezel, making it not much bigger than the One) and faster processor. Also, the camera was an important part of it, as I absolutely love the camera on the One. The ONLY problem I had was it being only 4 "ultrapixels". I missed cropping and zooming capabilities.

Upon purchasing, I see no real difference in speed between the two. I am guessing that's because HTC went with a simple, non cluttered interface. So it's smooth as silk.

What I miss with the One is the front speakers and sound quality... great video... beautiful design and materials.

What I don't miss is the battery life and the SLOOOOOW charging (supposedly to increase the life of the battery), and screen size (screen quality is beautiful though).

I love the OS on the G2, the screen, the awesome battery life and quick charging. Camera is decent as well. I think these things alone are enough for me to decide... today... that I am not returning it. But I am keeping my One as my backup. Which means my Nexus 4 is about to be up for sale now. I think I have a phone addiction. :)

This was waaaay lengthy and waaaay off topic. Sorry everyone :)
[G2 Accessories] shook187:
I think that was a spot on review of the One, which is the same reason why I replaced it with the G2.

Just so you know there's a speaker volume mod around here which I did and it works great of course you need to be rooted. It doesn't quite make you forget the great speaker the One had but definitely makes the transition a lot easier.
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Yeah, I read about that mod. I have held off on rooting because I wanted to make sure I was actually keeping the phone. This mod is definitely on my priority list.
[G2 Accessories] Coolsaber57:
Can anyone upload a picture of the unit plugged into your G2?
[G2 Accessories] thestrangebrew:
Just ordered mine. Did shipping take long? I had to order an SD card since I don't have to many of those lying around. Stoked...
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
I will send one when I get home tonight. But remember... it's a silver one, so it won't look good with the phone, but you will get the idea. :)
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
I ordered mine (pre-ordered) September 11th, got my shipping confirmation on October 4th and received it October 7th.
[G2 Accessories] veli69:
I ordered one yesterday why dont they build this into cases?
[G2 Accessories] Bxrider117:
I received mine a few days ago and now I carry my movies in a 64gb micro SD card on my key chain. This little device is awesome
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Eeesh. Just looking at the silver on my black phone in these pictures is making me really consider going ahead and buying the black adapter. I'll just tuck the silver one away with my HTC One.
[G2 Accessories] m0ngstr0us:
I got mine through AliExpress. Cheaper. :p

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-...ader-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-S2/1318016609.html

Waiting for it now and will report the read/write speeds when arrived.
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
I'll give you cheaper, but it doesn't come with a key chain hook, from what I can tell, and it isn't as nice looking, in my opinion. But.... If you don't care about any of that so much, and are just looking for the basic... then this one is certainly a good option. :)
[G2 Accessories] m0ngstr0us:
Well I dont care. ;P As long it works (decent read and right speeds) and im not leaving it plugged the whole time. We'll see the reviews when its here. :)
[G2 Accessories] 20degrees:
If you have one of these plugged in, can you record video directly to it?
[G2 Accessories] sil0:
Just ordered one, thanks for the heads up!

Should pair well with the G2, and solves the lack of microsd slot issue for me.
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Can you change the location that pictures and videos are saved to? If so, I didn't realize this. I just figured they are saved to their default location and then you can use a file viewer to move them if you want. If you can change the default location, then tell me how, and I will test it with the card reader.
[G2 Accessories] 20degrees:
Idk of it will let you. I was hoping an option would be available in the camera with a otg device plugged in.
[G2 Accessories] m0ngstr0us:
Not bad! There's a cool blue lights! ;D

Any problems with video playig? Stutters, lags. Smooth?
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Okay I just tried. Saw no option. I don't think it's possible. Would be nice though.
[G2 Accessories] docslate:
Is the card mounted in Recovery?

Guess I want to know if I can keep ROM backups on it. Probably the biggest space hogs I have.
[G2 Accessories] y2kirk1028:
Nice find!. I got an OTG cable with 32gb but I really like this design.

Do the blue light stay on all the time? or only when the card is in use.
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
It stays on solid and blinks when it's actually in use.
[G2 Accessories] crashN2u:
Is the sd slot spring loaded? I've had many a card go flying across the room or disappear. If it is, I would be less apt to carry it around on a keychain.
[G2 Accessories] Darkestred:
I believe i was using a class 10 card as it has a little 10 in the corner.

600meg file:

Read Speed: Peak 18MB/s. Average 17.5

Write Speed: Peak 9.5MB/s Average 8.5

Yes. You just need to use an app from the play store that supports external storage.

No. It is not.

Someone also mentioned video play back and if it were choppy. It isn't. Played an mkv file with no issues.
[G2 Accessories] hd-renegade:
I ordered one of these today. Looks like a good way to t-fer files to and from the G2.
[G2 Accessories] churxh:
This is gonna come in handy while i travel!! now i can take my movies with me
[G2 Accessories] crashN2u:
One last question before I order mine. I'm shopping for a case for the phone. Can this be used while a case is on, or do you have to remove the case to use it. I'm sure gel cases would be ok, but I'm looking into a more heavy duty case. And since I take a lot of pics and videos, I would have to find a case that was easily removable if need be.
[G2 Accessories] Darkestred:
Shouldn't be an issue. it slides right into the micro usb slot on the phone. Of course taking off the case with it plugged in will be an issue, though.
[G2 Accessories] tiguy99:
I would think it would be a problem if you have one of those funky cases where it's difficult for you to plug in your charger. In that case you can always get a micro USB extension cable with a female end for this to plug in and you're golden
[G2 Accessories] crashN2u:
But that would kind of defeat the purpose of this adapter. It would be cheaper for me to just get a cable and use one of my flash drives. grrrr...I think I need to find a case first before buying something.
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Maybe these pics will give you an idea.
[G2 Accessories] crashN2u:
Perfect, that's exactly want I needed to see. Thanks.
[G2 Accessories] Rayan:
Nice find and thanks for sharing girlygirl00! :good:

It does seem to be a really nice way to add extra storage, not like my current setup! :eek::silly::laugh:

I will order one now!!! :highfive:

Cheers!
[G2 Accessories] m0ngstr0us:
Heya! Mine just came in. :D

Speeds not that bad. Write speeds are faster than indicated.

No issues watching a few episodes of Suits :cool: But the blue lights are damn bright!

And yeah. USB OTGs are a battery drainer. T.T

And btw, you are right. Yours looks sexier! Meenova i mean! >.<
[G2 Accessories] remczar69:
I just ordered mine. I wonder how long it will take to deliver it to Poland. Has anyone form Europe ordered it? Could you please tell me, how long you had to wait?
[G2 Accessories] lovingheart8131:
I have ordered 2 meenova card readers on 18th and got confirmation on 21st. Still waiting for the delivery. Hope to receive soon for my new LG G2.
[G2 Accessories] tiguy99:
Same here. The white ones are out of stock by the way if anyone's interested
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Just ordered mine to come to the uk. Up to 20 days delivery.... Its gonna be a long wait!

What is the battery drain like, as someone mentioned usb otg being a power hog. I only plan on listening to my flac amd wav files with it while running/hiking. But if it is going to batter my battery more than streaming via Play Music then I'll have to reconsider its usage.
[G2 Accessories] Bwangster12:
Does the clear blue cover snap onto the card reader side when not covering the usb connector?
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
What kind of battery drain are we talking about? I'll regret my purchase if playing flac files on it will drain my battery stupidly quickly. If anyone can do a kind of test..... Streaming songs via play music for a bit, then playing off a meenova type item instead and see which drains more battery, that would be very helpful.

And useful for others considering a purchase maybe?
[G2 Accessories] m0ngstr0us:
It does but not that tight and wont pop open. I throw it in my pencil case and its still intact when in need.

Battery drain because of the power it need to pull/read files from external. Its not that bad though. I will do an exact test of Full Episode : Time when Im free.
[G2 Accessories] Heatshiver:
Posted this a few times, and I believe even in some of my own threads... I guess those who read, find first!

Also, this doesn't act like a SD card, it only acts as a USB device, so don't rely on this as a SD card alternative.

---------- Post added at 06:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 AM ----------

I had posted about this a few times, but in the dev section. I honestly agree that I will probably never use this (as someone posted before), but I do like to have it around.

If you're into using every orifice of your phone, then you may want to check out the short thread I just made on this other gadget..
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Going out of town in a few days and will be using this to play music and see how battery holds out. Hope it doesn't disappoint.
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
"Posted this a few times" Posted what... posted about this reader? I DID read. I found NOTHING in the accessories section. I assumed this was an accessory, therfore I didn't know I should have looked in the development section. If this is a "dev" thing, then sorry I posted it here. -_-

If I misunderstood what you were saying... my apologies.
[G2 Accessories] Heatshiver:
Unless you invented this device, calm down. Don't attack the people actually helping this community, it doesn't motivate them to continue helping...
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Calm down? Lol did I put any exclamation marks at the end of my sentences? You said you posted this and basically implied that I didn't read to find this out. I simply stated that I assumed this was an accessory and therfore posted this where I thought it was supposed to go. How am I not helping the community by trying to clear up where this is supposed to be properly posted? Get over yourself.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
What exactly is your problem? This thread is contributing to the community. People like you moaning and using italics to emphasise your point are what make people less motivated.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

It is an accessory. It isn't part of the phone, it is an accessory to extend the use of the phone, like headphones, or car docks, or cases.
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Yes. Which is why I posted it in the accessory section. Yet I was basically called out for not reading the dev section to see this was already posted. Not sure why he even said anything about it to start. It's like he needed to one up me or something.
[G2 Accessories] Heatshiver:
[MENTION=2874788]girlygirl00[/MENTION] - Calling you out for not reading the dev section? I don't think I said that. Just because you read implications that aren't there doesn't make your ignorant assumptions true. And no, you didn't put any exclamation points, but most people who use capitals are doing more than just stating things calmly (unless this is your first time on the Internet, then I do understand)...

[MENTION=2677325]mgolder[/MENTION] - Who was moaning? I doubt any

dev

was and is less motivated from me using italics (maybe you'd have preferred capitalization). Sounds like facetious reasoning, and a red herring to say the least. But I guess you feel women are too weak to stand up for themselves so you needed to add your pointless comments.

My post was not about one-upping anyone. You take things too personal, as prevalent by your first reply. I didn't have a problem with the thread either. I wasn't the one who posted in the OP about the possibility of it being posted somewhere else. It was posted somewhere else and I answered as such. Did I say that there was a thread? No. Did I say it belongs in the dev section? No. If you don't like people posting in response about what you wrote, change it, or ask a moderator to close it since I'm sure people can look at the OP and understand what this is for. That is unless, you're in it for the "Thanks" and not the community...
[G2 Accessories] frogman74:
WTF is wrong with you?

I see you swallowed a thesaurus this morning. Bravo, you must feel very proud.

And no, I don't feel women are weak, why on earth would you suggest that? I think you may have unresolved issues that this site can't help you with.... A very odd thing for you to randomly claim. I felt the need to chime in as you were being, needlessly obnoxious to someone who had done nothing.

Quite the big act of a big man, doing that online. Thumbs up for you there. I truly hope your e-penis felt better becuase you used some big words all for nothing.

Have a splendid day, sir.
[G2 Accessories] tiguy99:
Wait how in the world did this thread get here? Either way, op, thanks bc my unit will be here tomorrow thanks you.

I would never have known about this if you never made this thread.
[G2 Accessories] frogman74:
This dude is Pm'ing me Telling me to visit the land of Muslims and he meet me.

Wtf is wrong with this dude?

HAHA internet tough guy syndrome.
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Wow. Why you?? You made one short comment and he messages you with some weird crap? He didn't pm me and I am the one who apparently got him really heated up.. lol. Oh, and mgolder too. That is literally insane.

I guess I shouldn't have said anything to his original post. It just rubbed me the wrong way. But I did add to it that if I misunderstood what he was saying, I apologize.

Regardless.... I am sorry it turned into this.. and thank you to all who were backing me up :)
[G2 Accessories] frogman74:
I'm won't bring it up again as it is really OT but this is what the dude just sent me. I really thing he needs help or banned.

I called him a tool and laughed at him. This is what he sent. What a tool.
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
"no need for a round trip".... Um, sounds like a threat to me. Sounds like he needs both help AND to be banned. Geez.
[G2 Accessories] frogman74:
How's the reader holding up? I'm thinking of using it with the keychain attachment.

Also I'm on Sprint so who knows when I'll get my phone. So there isn't a rush. :(
[G2 Accessories] rebar71:
Back on topic... I just wanna thanks for finding this! I looked for something like this couldn't find it for some reason. I just picked up a G2 yesterday and lack of an SD card slot was perhaps my biggest hardware concern with the device.
[G2 Accessories] m0ngstr0us:
Bring a portable charger or car charger! Lol!

I tested watching a 40mins series (Walking Dead, of course! ;P) Its around 10-15% on 50% brightness, headphones on. But nah. Got my trusty Note 8.0 for movies. ;P

Mainly used this USB OTG to store Custom Roms and backups.

Have a great trip!
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
I don't use it often. Just nice knowing I have it to store things. So definitely the key chain attachment is handy!
[G2 Accessories] girlygirl00:
Wow. Thanks for the info. I will have my both my car charger and portable charger .. lol. I just planned to test it with music because of my curiosity about battery life. Mainly I purchased it to store pics and videos and whatever. Also, when I travel to see my dad, I have terrible service in his area and he always wants pics. Since he has no computer, I use the reader and plug into his phone and put my pics on his. So that's kinda nice.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Ok. This is useful info now to keep in mind. I won't be watching films or tv or anything. So, in theory just using it to play some flac files should maybe max out at 5% for the same time period . . . ish. Sound roughly accurate?

That is more than adequate for me really, as I figure it wouldn't often get beyond 2 hours usage max in one go.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

Also, I had no PM form that guy either, so, looks like he was just picking random fights with people. Classy guy. I blocked his posts from showing on the thread for me anyway ha ha. But after what he said to you, I'd report him too. No need for that behaviour from him.

[G2 Accessories] m0ngstr0us:
[MENTION=2874788]girlygirl00[/MENTION] Awwww..yeah good idea to move multi pics. Faster than BT or NFC.

[MENTION=2677325]mgolder[/MENTION] Yeap. Me too. Better off for storage. As custom roms/backups are a space hogger! Whatever media formats has the same outcome I guess. Let's put it at 5-10%. Same like playing HD games for a prolonged period.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
I'm just thinking if you had the screen on watching the tv show in your test then that will have used more battery than music with phone in the pocket?

Or is it possible to see exactly how much the sd device uses in the battery app?
[G2 Accessories] m0ngstr0us:
Hmmm. I store my music in the device itself. I have around 1GB of all. So prolly 100+ songs for a week or 2 before i hit the lappy and reshuffle the songs. I don't quite store it in the external. So im not sure.

So my guess, if it pulls the music from the external device, it needs to power it on. I might say yes but not much.

Hope I answer your question. :)
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Kind of, as if you haven't played music from it then it is an unknown for now. But, as my screen will be off when listening to music the power drain should be far less than watching a tv show from the Meenova. Which is all I kind of need to know. Now I just need it to turn up. Hopefully in the next few days!
[G2 Accessories] rjerikz:
Hi guys, does any of you tried to used this with Spigen Slim armor case on? Just want to be sure if it compatible with my case before getting one.

I took some pictures of it plugged in with my case, which is not the slimmest, and it fits great. Check them out. They are posted a couple of pages back, here in this thread. It should give you a pretty good idea. :)
