sdcardolder.com Has the coolest MicroSDHC card holders for around $7USD. the size of a credit card, it can hold 10 MicroSD cards and a SD to micro adapter. Multiple colors and even a hole for a keycain/lanyard. Now that Dalingrin has the video working so slick on CM7 this could be a helpful item for juggling cards for video.

This is a very interesting design. Right now i have 3-4 micros in their own cases with adapters in my back pack. The design worry's me, how well does it hold the cards id be afraid they would fall out.
I'm with the previous poster. Looks like it would be too easy to have a card slip right out on accident. Otherwise, I'm always looking for a better way to hold my cards than the 4 different boxes I already use.
the site mentions that center tab on each slot...think it is supposed to act as the retention mechanism.
ya i saw that, but im still a bit weary. if you buy it let me know. if it holds them well, and does not feel like it will get loose with age i might be game to buy it.
Yeah..gonna buy a few cards and one of these soon...got the call to go back to work Monday...yay money!

I bought one of these a few weeks ago to keep track of my growing supply of uSD cards. I can attest that it's very handy and size-efficient.
I can understand the concerns that the cards may fall out, but the center-tab latching mechanism seems pretty secure, as it is reinforced on the underside. I actually bought 2 other models (one to hold multiple SIMs and one to hold multiple full-sized SDs). They all work as expected and I'm pleased with the purchases.
Other than this model, I haven't seen anything which holds a large # of uSD cards in a small space.
Cheers

any chance you can post a pic?
When I said that it was reinforced underneath, I misspoke. They do seem to be more than adequately rigid, given that they don't need to travel far to release the cards.
As requested, here are some pictures of the retention mechanism.
I just bought one of these at amazon, with the intention of sticking some velcro on it and attaching it to my B&N Industriell Easel.

Looking forward to more feedback. It looks like either of the 2 posts would help as far as storage is concerned but I am also having trouble keeping my cards straight. I have the NC and 2 android phones.

I ended up picking up this reader/holder, and I expect it will remain sufficient for my needs for some time to come. In addition to the 2 uSD, 1 SIM and 1 M2 storage slots (all cards I currently use, though only one of each and usually in their respective devices), 1 more of any of the above can be stored in the reader slot.
I hadn't considered it when I ordered, but the reader is slim enough to slip in the cover flap of my NC case, which I had thought impractical for anything but a wiping cloth or a few sheets of paper. In a lot of cases, it would fit neatly in the ID pocket (fits mine, too, but makes the cover bulge there when closed).
About the only con I see is that they probably could have made it smaller still--I suspect the center 1/4-1/3 of the width is wasted space inserted for that credit card form factor.

Did you order directly from the company or via their store at Amazon?
I think I will order the SIM card holder. They have a buy 3 get 4 promo via Amazon. It would be overkill to buy the SIM Card Holder, SD card holder and the micro SD cardholder. What would I do with a fourth card holder?

It works fine for me... I'm thinking of how to best slap it on my case, at present. I think I'm going to sew some magnets into a fabric pockect, and just use the magnetic stick in the case to tether it in place. As to keeping track, maybe a bit of paint on the cards? Be it nail polish, poster, marker, etc? Keep them color coded and easily sorted .

Hi all, the best part of this holder is it is designed to fit right in the pelican (!) ( secure digital case which makes it not only secure, but also waterproof, and if I do say so, very cool. I bought mine from amazon.
Ha anyone found a good MicroSIM adapter that works well with the vivid? I want to be able to switch back and forth between my iphone 4.
I tried with my existing adaptor (soft plastic, that is normal SIM thickness with a thinner inset for the microSIM to rest inside) and nearly got the SIM stuck inside. Due to the design of the Vivid's SIM slot, Isuspect that any added thickness will cause problems. The sticker-type adaptor may work better but is not reusable.
Has anyone found a good solution?
Go to amazon and search micro USB adapter. It's like the second or third down. There's two adapters for like $1.34. They work perfectly

i have the same issue i am looking for a solution as well
Best solution I've found is to cut the sim and use NO adapter, just a piece of tape to pull it out. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get the position right but its easy to remove, and i can even remove without pulling the battery.
I'm having some difficulty identifying a stand that matches my requirements. Been Searching a lot but haven't found anything perfect yet. Most are too big and not pocketable.
What I am looking for:
-Very small and light, but sturdy. Preferably pocketable easily.
-Resistant and fairly stable to hold the phone on the food tray on airplanes.
-With some angle adjustment if possible, but around 45 degrees should be good enough.
-Capable of holding phablets and phones (Note II, Galaxy S2), no need to support Tablets.
-If it can hold a Note 2 in a case or with an extended battery, that is a plus, but not essential.
-Able to pass airport security checks (if in your pocket).
-Can be bought in EU (or from somewhere else with fast delivery)
I checked several but most of them look either too large (made for iPads) or too flimsy. Some are not adjustable at all and others have a layout that cannot be pocketed.
This one transforms into some sort of USB Pen and looks interesting, but I'm unsure if it can hold a Note 2 (in the right angle).
Anyone has this one?
Or can suggest any other models?
Thanks
The official stand/battery charger works. It holds well in turbulence.

step 1 - find an old audio cassette case.
step 2 - open the case all the way back and place on a flat surface.
step 3 - put your device on/in it depending on orientation.
it works surprisingly well.
For the best value mutli-purpose holder, see post #9 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118979
In case the suction cup does work on the airplane tray, you can lower the phone down to sit on the tray directly.
For a simple device, this one http://www.tinydeal.com/one-hand-adhesive-washable-ring-holder-stand-for-mobile-phone-p-58445.html works well too. But the ability to adjust the angle is very limited. This is also a poor man's Flygrip. This device stick to the phone by a sticky pad, you can attach/detach it to and from the phone repeatedly without leaving any mark on the phone. One little trick. Wash the sticky pad with warm water,shake off the water and attached it to the phone. It adhere to the phone surprisingly well.

Ahaha, I see what you mean. But it works best for portrait. I want to use it in landscape for movies... there's less grip that way and it will probably fall off in a plane.
I just use a dollar bill (or any kind of bill actually) and origami a stand: http://pockethacks.com/how-to-build-your-own-phone-stand-from-a-dollar-bill/
It works well, very sturdy, and once you're done, you just pocket it away.
Or better yet, get a case that has a built-in kickstand
I use a small, plastic, credit card shaped, foldable stand but I can't remember where I got it. It's similar to this one:

It's not cheap, but can be fond on sale or just the first version, maybe the RocketFish PivotPad may suit your needs.
this shows the first version.
I picked up the first version for $5 on sale at bestbuy through slickdeals or something. Works good.
Been using Go Go Stand since it was profiled on CNET a few years ago.
http://www.gogostand.com/
I am still using both credit card size stands to this day (think about four years). Absolutely love it...so thin...and adjustable. Serves me REALLY well on business trips (used it w/ N1, HTC Sensation, Note 1 & 2).
Think you mentioned you were currently in Europe? Not sure how long it would take to get to where you are, but it wouldn't hurt to contact them?
I actually found out that good old Lego is very suitable for building a stand.
I usually find a useless hotel card or a any expired credit card to use as a temporary kickstand.

The internet sux.
This is after installing flash player plugin ics and reloading the stock browser, after trying dolphin beta, after setting user agent to iphone as told in dolphin betas help.
Added----
Ok if I set user agent to desktop and manually search for the article from the home page, then at least the broken link pics appear but the flash stays blank.
For some reason the link above continues to redirect to m.cnet which is broken, even after clearing cache. Combination of cnet, adobe, android, dolphin (for having flash support but turning it off with no user override) and the internet as a whole, sux.

The one thing I used to use as a kickstand is a good ol business card holder. I just happened to find an unused one at my former workplace and it works perfectly. Granted its not adjustable (maybe adding a few business cards for thickness to prop it forward more could do the trick) but its perfect for my phone. Its a black metal mesh kind but heres thr link for it.

I second the hotel/gift card stand. Cheap and easy. I throw a rubber band on the front lip to add a little grip since the Note 2 is such a big phone.

there is newer version out now. it's simular, but has a few changes. How you use it and what it does remains the same.
ZDNet just did an article on a couple weeks ago: linky. I found it all over the net. Amazon has it too. Finding it at $5 like I did, well someone else did and shared the link, will probably be more difficult.
I don't know how well it works with an extended battery case, but I have the icarpus stand, it works quite well:
http://icarpus.com
By the way, the stand you posted in your original post is horrible.
I own it, and It completely can't handle the galaxy note's size.

I made this from an old vhs box. Two old credit cards or dvd case would work as well. It works in landscape and portrait.

I have one of those cases that holds credit cards using a sliding door on the back. I laid my Note 5 on my Qi Charger today and surprisingly it was actually charging. I was pretty surprised, being that there were 3 credit cards and a case in between the charger and phone itself.
My question is, will this effect the credit cards in any way? Will it cause the cards to not be able to swipe in any way? What kind of damage can be done to the cards?
Thanks in advance.
On a side note, I use the MST on the phone to pay for groceries at Vons today. Worked like a charm.
Of course it'll hurt the cards they are magnetic

Really liking it. You can fit 3 cards with no issue.
Yeah, I wouldn't put credit cards anywhere NEAR a Qi charger. Just asking for problems.
I bought this on Amazon and it was delivered today. I paid $12.99 delivered with prime. This is a super easy way to use external storage with the Note 5. I opened the box, popped in my 128gb micro sd, and the phone immediately recognized it. Photo viewing or movie watching is seamless as if the card was in the phone itself. It's about a 1x1 inch square sticking out the bottom of the phone and isnt too annoying, but I pull it out before I throw the phone in my pocket. The little rubbery protective case is nice and there's a micro to regular usb adapter to plug into other stuff. Not bad for 13 bucks.
do you have a case on your phone, and if so, does it fit into the phone while the case is on?
I have this same thing and I have a couple Spigen cases and it works just fine with the cases I have. This is a great little product for devices that have no SD card slot.

Yes, I have an Incipio DualPro case and it fits. I'm trying out a really rugged case from Poetic tomorrow and I'll see if that fits too. I'll include some pics of both cases.
I have it too. I keep it on a keychain but am annoyed that the USB adapter is separate - I wanted that on the keychain too. Also the USB adapter stopped working.
