Here's my first attempt at making a compact micro sd card reader. So excuse the overall finish. If doing it again, i would be a bit more precise with cutting and maybe use something other than superglue so it fills in the gaps neatly. This was just a one off to see if it works! Was tested with a spare 8GB i had lying around. WIll obviously be getting some class 10 cards!
Plan is to have a few 32GB cards then can just keep a load of storage in wallet etc. Got the idea from another member on here who did a micro usb to usb adapter.
Parts can be found here:

I admire your aspirations. If only more people would want to design these things in this form factor.
P.S.
Class 10 is very slow compared to UHS-1...:silly:
Nice job, looks like you used the same Kingston micro SD reader I used, I went for a wire though so I'm less likely to snap it.

Wow thats creative
I'm wondering if this can be done with a flat ribbon cable and generally made as flat as possible so that it can permanently sit attached between the back of the nexus 4 and a case. That would be awesome.

Dont see why not! give it a shot!
Nicely done.
Are you just using this for carrying media around with you or do you have it for file transfer on and off? I'm assuming your rooted so does StickMount work with this application to allow you transfer on and off of any file type?
MAN I would love to have that. I am too lazy to make one though

Carrying media around. Can get a holder for micro SD cards that's credit card sized.
No I'm not rooted, I use nexus media importer
Cant believe there is not a patented form of something like this yet out.
People are sleeping at Lexar and such companies.

I used a hot glue gun to fill in my adapter. Worked well to ensure a nice, tight fit, and you can easily cut away any excess that squeezes out between the cracks.
here is mine, it's a regular microsD reader + micro USB plug.. combined all together in a heatshrink
works great with stickmount
I've managed to modify and repackaged the stock 4.2.1 kernel which combined with my Vold.fstab gives me simple, auto mount, read write access to my stick without custom ROM.
It won't show up in storage devices (yet) cause I need a suitable apktool to modify the framework, but if anyone's interested and wants to stay stock as possible, I'd be happy to share it when I get home.

Hey guys here's the final recipe:
1) Get the Nano MIcroSD card reader kinda like this one;
2) Get the small and nice 32GB UHS-I MicroSD card itself, like this one;
3) Hook'em up with one of these bad boys, depending on the style you would like to get: usual flash drive , flexing and long , g-style flash drive
$5 + $2.5 + 25$ = $30 Real 32 gig gansta stick-it-on-the-fly OTG-USB-SD CARD Reader extension combo, dawg.

Nice job, however, for additional advantage of that UHS-1 card's speed, you should probably get a UHS compatible reader.
Hm, thanks. I'll check, I wonder if there even is one with the size we need here...(

I've modified the ramdisk so it shows up in /storage/usbdisk and I've symlinked to /usbdisk
It shows up in all file manager managers and it shows up in /proc/mounts.
In /proc/mounts it shows as follows:
/dev/block/vold/8:1 /storage/usbdisk
I will check with your app now.
EDIT: It didn't show up by default in your app, but I changed external storage path and it showed then. See screenshot, attached.

Is there an adapter for Memory stick to SD/MMC slot so I can use my memory stick to used with my MDA II?
Is there a product like this?(Memory Stick convert to SD/MMC slot)

Thanks! :lol: But I already know that... What I want is just Memory stick to SD/MMC slot I dont want to add backpack just to use my memory stick.
Then I guess no such thing exist huh!?
I also tried searching on the Net but found nothing... Hmmm.. too bad..
Thanks for all your help mate... I guess we just need to wait and hope some manufacturer will come up with what we want.
...or XDAIII will have CF Slot! :lol:
P.S. ( If Anyone knows a cheap SD card seller in Europe, please be so kind and let me know - Here in SLovenia are they just 2 Expensive :roll: )
Regards!! :wink:
Dejan
Yes - I think they should design the upcoming XDA with mutiple memory slots (CF, SD, MMC, MS etc).. Good idea!
LOL... But that sucks if we need to wait for XDA/MDAIII to used different types of memory cards. It means we need to spent another thousand bucks(closed to) to have it. :lol:

well the backpack is not that expensive
of cause one can not always be sure that
using a converter like the backpack to get CF
to use a converter to get MS would work 100%
there will only be such a product as a ms to sd if there was a high enough demand for it
i doubt there is
is it not only sony who use ms ?
sd seem imho to become the std like CF was which is getting old and will prob be outfased in 2 years or something

I guess you're right CF will be faced out in a few years, SD might be the next standard BUT micro drive still using CF isn't it? So I guess there are still some debate on that huh!
I also read somewhere that mini-SD is also coming out soon. So I guess we'll just wait and see what happened in the few years. :roll: :lol:
Belive me - You don't want to have XDAIII with CF slot. Just look at Your precious XDA or XDAII close to Your face during a phone call and imagine it 20% biger and 50g havier. Even now it's way too big as a phone especially that summer is comming and I have totaly no idea how to carry it without all those winter clothes, deep ass hell pockets
Best idea I can imagine is USB port in host mode - I've got HDD 9mm (from laptop computer) in aluminium case connected via USB interface. Imagine U can have 40GB in another pocket to carry all those xxx movies LOL.

which mean that he would like xda3 to support host mode because xda2 dont, so unless his external disk is defect then he can transfer files from his pc not his ppc
if 9mm mean 2.5" laptop hd then i have this case (it's still empty but i will get a fujitcu or seagate 2.5" disk for it soon)
http://www.starkingtech.com/@PRDCT/TT945.htm
it have both firewire and usb2 connecting options
and i will of cause use firewire since irl it's faster then usb2
but it's nice that it have usb2 aswell because far from all computers have firewire yet and usb2 is backward compatible with usb1.1

If you don't mind using a usb memory stick, you won't need an adapter. It will be a lot cheaper & probably faster (depending on what class sd card you use).
I only found a Micro-USB card reader, but it had a giant box on a short cable so it totally sucked. I searched for OTG micro reader on ebay and found that one.

Yes, but all existing solutions are somewhat bulky ... which really contrast with the sleak devices!!
A tiny microUSB dongle that integrates seamlessly with the device would be marvelous (it could be not bigger than 1 x 1 x 0.5 cm) ... or an other approach would be to integrate the storage in the case (where there could be a heck of storage) ...
If I proceed to the DIY, I would post the pictures.
What you need to start is something like this:

I have been looking for exactly the same thing!
The nearest thing i found is this
Now if only someone made something like this with a micro SD and OTG i would buy one straight away
I was planning to use this with the smallest microSD card reader. Smallest method possible at the moment.
Amazon: SANOXY Micro Male Female Adapter
why the interest in a card reader? Just for the size? seems like a very tiny flash drive would be cheaper per/GB and more flexible.
yes, but even such a solution does not exist based only on micro USB (from what I have found)!
I was just thinking I should take an OTG and attach storage to it, then I saw this thread. So any1 try anything yet?

Be cautious about the adapter type, don't buy a mini USB when we need micros
What I'd love to see is a case that plugs into the usb port and has a built in microSD slot (or even a full SD slot, don't care which) and a port for charging.
Hey guys,
So i got bored and decided I wanted to try expanding the storage capabilities of my N7. Using StickMount Pro, an OTG cable, a Western Digital 500GB HDD and some double sided tape, I mounted the HDD to a back case and viola... I now have a 516GB N7!!! In the near future I will attempt to add a 4-port USB hub... stay tuned!
UPDATE:
Well this started as a bored guy having fun and has evolved into an actual project.
I've decided to scale back somewhat in an attempt to be more power friendly.
On this attempt I scrapped the HDD (for obvious reasons). I modified the OTG cable and added a 4 port USB hub with a dongle for my mouse. The remaining 3 USB ports will be used for 2x mini USB card readers w/ 32GB micro SD cards and another dongle for my wireless keyboard.
BTW the flip case makes a great mouse pad.
UPDATE 12/29:
Now that some of my X-Mas goodies have arrived I've added 2x mini USB readers and 2x SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB Class 10 micro SD cards.
Stay tuned for more awesomeness as the rest of my goodies have yet to arrive...
UPDATE: 01/10/13:
This project has morphed a few times now but I finally have a configuration that works for me. I wanted to make this a project that anyone can do without all the soldering and modding that I see in other threads around the web. I originally wanted to make a case with the mods built in to it, but after some serious consideration, I decided that I wanted a much easier project ( I am quite lazy). The only real modification I made was to the USB OTG cable, but is not necessary to make this work.
So here's some pics:

kudos for trying to work on the storage problem..but i wouldnt really call duct taping a harddrive to a case a "mod"

As you can see I have too much time on my hands and don't take anything seriously. This was just a fun way to waste some time. As for battery life... I get about 2 hours if I'm lucky lol.
SSDs are getting cheaper and use less power, that might be a route to go for the next mod
loooooooooool
Off topic, but what is that shell case you're using, OP?
Though implementation was a little funny, this is an excellent idea!
SSD and some more creative work with cable shortening/plug modding would make a pretty sweet beast.
Thanks for sharing!
Not really a mod but I do like the concept...Imagine having a really thin SSD drive strapped to the back of your n7
Doesn't that affect portability? I've contemplated using a wi-drive, but wondered how much constant activity would deplete the battery
Why not a usb stick instead of ssd? Can pick up a 64gb one for less than £23..... Take the externals apart and make your own case for it?

I'm currently working on a few different versions. The one pictured, one using a SSD (which is much more portable and uses way less battery) and one using a 4 port USB hub and 4 x 128 GB Flash Drives. More pictures to come upon successful completion.

Mini microsd card reader working in our SGN2.
Close view.
Preorder are open now. Go and get this tool if you want extra storage for your note2
Is that other usb stick in there used as micro-usb to usb adapter or something like that?
Yes that is micro usb to usb adapter.

I haven't ordered one... But it does look like a good idea.
If you are not happy with 64 GB external sd card space and want more then order this.

That's actually pretty neat idea. I think I'll pre-order one for myself.
Thanks for sharing.
Ordered 1. Could prove very useful.

So no support or function if I'm rooted?

Samsung has in-build drivers for usb otg in stock roms. Means you don't need to add any driver or use any application to connect or detect usb drives.
If you are rooted and on stock rom, then it works perfect with out any problem and supports fat or exfat partition.
For different roms, you have to confirm with rom's developers for otg support. And in that case you can use usb otg application from playstore.

Got mine in yesterday and figured I'd give a brief review.
The model I recieved isn't exactly like the picture, but a bit better. It's white It's a small square less than an inch I'd say.
Build quality is decent, but I think the slot for the microsd should be recessed just a sliver more so that there's no chance of the card coming out should the square get slide against the inside of a pocket or something.
Picked up a 64gb MicroSD card today (Yes SanDisk since I've never had a problem with them). Threw it the reader, slammed that baby into the phone (Please don't slam your phone unless you're firm in your *convictions*), and it was detected right away.
Used the adapter to connect the reader to my computer, loaded up almost 3000 files from music to movies and documents and made the transfer.
Connected the reader to the phone and everything reads just fine and fast.
One of the reasons I picked this up is to transfer documents on the fly in the field.
For less than 20 bucks it's pretty amazing.
I would upload pics, but the forum doesn't want to comply today.

And pulled my keys out one time and lost the cap already. A quality control issue there. The cap shouldn't come off so easily.

No quality issue for me. Mine is very hard.

I did a Google search for "meenova lost cap" and came across several other folks that found the same thing.
On the flip side I found the cap outside my house.

That's funny, cuz when I do the same search for "meenova lost cap" on google, the only result I get is your XDA post...
Do I need to explain how search engines work?
1) my post will show up the more that string of terms is put together. Duh.
2) read more than one hit return.
Brilliant!

And since I can tell that you're "that guy", I've been in contact with their customer service and they're pretty good. Sent me 2 other caps no charge.

You should have bought the orange one like me. Way better then black.
Does anyone know anyone which is cheaper?

I got the orange one too, way better than black. This is a much better design than the aliexpress one I had gotten earlier. The other was decent, but not as rugged for carrying around. Thinking about ordering more for xmas presents. Anyone got a link?
I use mine primarily for transferring pictures from my camera. I use a microsd with an sd adapter in it and now can look at pix on the Note2 screen rather than the little LCD on the camera.
Anyone who has the orange one mind posting some IRL pictures?
Is the light around the base blue on all of them?
Thanks!

Yes, the light is blue. I don't have a good way to post pics at the moment, but it's just a basic orange, not neon or anything.
Looks good, but there are alternative from pqi and pny, both does not require extenal adapter to connect to PC, both have a full size USB and micro USB built in.
Are there any cases with a micro sd card slot for the Note 5. I know Incipio and Mophie has them for the S6.
why do you need a case with a Micro SD Card slot? The note 5 doers not use a memory card

It would act like a OTG and you can upload or download files from it.

That's the whole point. The case provides a missing feature.

That was never made for the Note 5.. :crying:
ok I misunderstood what you were looking for. Looking at the one in the link it looks pretty cool. I myself have the 64gb model and have never come close to filling it up ( even though I have a bunch of movies \ringtones\ Pictures\etc... so I dont miss the sd card but I do also make use of cloud storage to make up for it. I have accounts with Google drive (1tb of storage that I get with school tuition) and Microsoft One Drive (also 1tb) and any files I need I just download them as I need them

Alas, that d/l and u/l is got to be on WiFi, I also have the 64GB version and if I loaded my music on it, I could fill it up quick. But with limited data plans (Mines 6GB a month) using data to listen to music is a bad idea.. Movies use up even more.. I use to have a OTG reader, but lost it... It's a shame the N5 was short lived and more couldn't be done for it. Now that the N7 is kaput, the N5 is as close of a Note phone you will get to it..

I dont have alot of songs or ringtones on my N5 (about 100 total combined ) but I do have about 35 movies and tv shows stored on it that I rotate on and off periodically. I own them on digital downloads or DVD and then upload them to my laptop where I convert them to AVI or MKV files (higher compression rates and less storage space a 2 hour movie is about 700mb) so I can store more in less space, this way I always have them and dont need to download them when ever I want to
I can run my own radio station with the music I have stored. Only about 5 or 6 movies. I don't load up unless I go on a trip. Then I delete them when I get home. Still would have liked a extended battery case with the sd card slot built in... :good:
What I've found to be useful for media consumption on the go is using a micro usb drive. I have a 64GB that I slap on when I go to the gym and listen to my music.

I've had them and lost it. But if I'm going to play a radio or music player, I will need my Powerbank. LoL
Did find this https://i-blades.com/products/galaxy-note-5-battery-case-battery-life-memory
I-blades.com, has a smart case for the note 5. The case itself gives you the ability to monitor air quality, and add on other sensors in the future. I bought the case with memory blade, the blade has 32GB built in storage, a micro sd slot, and extra battery! The blades are inter changeable with t he other cases they make for other models so you could use one blade with say an iPhone, annd you're Notre 5. They're also supposed to be stackable so you could add two or more memory blades on top of each other! I preordered the case and blade, but they're not set to ship until the end of the month!
