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.

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.

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.

I have been searching for both a vehicle mount as well as a desktop dock for my Nexus S since I got it in December. While there have been a few 3rd party solutions trickling into existence, it's nice to see some official Samsung love! I can't post links yet, but check it out on their website: samsung.com by searching for ECS-V1A3BEGSTA or BECS-V1A3BEG (both seem to be model numbers). There currently isn't a price and if you add it to your cart it says it's on back order (for $0). But at least we know it's coming! Hope to see an official desk dock soon as well.
Also, interesting, it says it has an integrated charger (which is one thing I really want in a car mount), but I fail to see any evidence of it in the pictures. I'm curious how it works. I would also really like to see an integrated audio output, preferably (if possible) through the same micro USB connection as the charging and then allow for the 3.5mm output to split from the mount. This is what I used to do with my original MT3G and it was great to only have to make one connection to the phone.

I am very excited for this. Hopefully more accessories are coming soon!!
out of stock noooooooooooooo!
Dam should of waited, I just bought the Rocketfish mount from best buy. I'm lovin it tho! It can also be attached on the ac vents.

Interestingly the back plate of the dock appears to have a cutout for the camera and speaker, but they are in the wrong position (wrong side in each case) given how the phone sits in the dock. I am also curious how they are going to do integrated charging. Perhaps those images aren't a final product shot.

It was never in stock to begin with.
It took Samsung to officially release the Galaxy S docks about 3-4 months after its release in the U.S. So I'm assuming it's going to take just as long for this dock to come out.
looks good.
I want to see this in action.

I agree with you. How is it suppose to charge when docked?

Maybe the final product will contain more details for charging etc

Indeed, this would make more sense. I'm unsure how they would have integrated charging unless they somehow had a different back plate for the phone that would allow for conductive charging.
I'll still pick it up for $40 when it's available. It's a lot better than the the "universal" options out there. It is too bad the Nexus S doesn't have the contact/charging pins like the Nexus One did - that was a nice car dock to own (although a bit more pricey).
New description:
The vehicle navigation mount holds your Nexus S Handset securely while you travel.The Vehicle Power Charger is included in the package. The holder has a convenient easy snap-in and a thumb release to remove the phone from the holder.

I've been working on a little project of my own for the past few days, trying to fit the largest amount of storage into the smallest space. Here's the current version:

And here's what's under the heatshrink:
It's an 8GB drive, but I could easily do it again with up to 32GB of storage. I shorted the 5th pin to ground, so it is properly recognized as though it were plugged into an OTG cable. The Micro USB connector is attached to the memory with JB Weld epoxy. I used a SanDisk Cruzer FIT USB drive to make this.

have you thought about spraying it with plastidip to give it a shell?
That could work well. I'm currently waiting for the JB Weld to fully cure. This one was more of a proof-of-concept, if I make another it should look better and have more storage.

Does this drain the battery any quicker?
Let's say if you were using it to read data off constantly?
It looks dumb, they should have built it with an SD slot or have a 32gb model, will not buy until it does.
Good job to the Op - I don't see this sort of affair as a problem because I'd only need the extra storage while it's not connected to a charger or PC anyway.
But... Would it be possible for someone to make a very small USB connector that folds around the back (like a ribbon-cable sort of affair) to avoid the risk of snapping in the pocket - that way you could stick the SD Card on the back of the phone when you're using it.

Go buy a different phone with a sd slot and stop complaining, the OP's work is innovative to say the least, we'll done! A thought tho, a bumper case with built in storage device on the back, a small ribbon cable to a micro-usb connector in the bottom of it and voilà...
Edit: Previous post got in between, hehe... This is what you get for taking a break to smoke and chit-chat before typing out the last and posting... No offense, two people, same kinda idea! Awesome.
Tapatalked from my h4x0r3d up Maguro.
The way I see it:
Use a thick(ish) case, to protect the glass.
Make a mod like this, but with longer, flat cable.
Carve a hole in the case to accommodate and protect this all.
Use wireless charging since the microUSB port will be occupied at all times.
PROFIT.

Seriously, great job!
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.

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?

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.

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:

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?

what about making a case for the hdd that it sits in and clips to the edges of the nexus 7 like a car mount but a hdd to the nexus type mount
Hey guys, I just saw this article on Engadget. Apparently the company PQI had a lot of micro usb drives and storage solutions at Computex. Most of these won't be available until Q3 this year though, but definitely worth a look!

They briefly go through each one, there are 6 in all with different quirks and things.

Nice but too late, and if you buy those, you won't be able to use them on the pc unless you buy an adapter, so we are the same like now :crying: The best would be to make tablets with usb, but they would be thicker then.

The 201 has both connectors in one. Standard USB for your PC, micro USB for your mobile device. No adapter needed.

I'd expect the quality of these devices to be top notch, but probably expensive, I have a PQI wifi SD adaptor that works seamlessly with every android device I've tried it with (via an app in the market).
For anyone interested :-

Those are nice, but still not exactly what I want, which is a flashdrive that's Micro-USB *only* so that it can be made as small as possible,

Yea, im a backer of that project. The screen you posted, the first one, is it just an adapter?
According to the article, it is a usb drive with either 16 or 32 gb.
Here is another one that is similar to the kickstarter one, but it also has the standard usb connector on one end and the housing slides to expose the micro usb connector on the other end. I like how the micro sd card slides into the usb connector.

That's not a flash drive, is it?

It's a MicroSD adapter, but in a sense, it could be considered a flash drive (same concept of R/W memory in a small form-factor).

Nah, these all have the standard USB plug as well, so they also work directly with PCs. No adapter required.

I get that, but I think a flash drive can be made to be much smaller, which would be safer while sticking out of the tablet/phone.
