Expresscard Media Reader that sits flush with MBP?

[lu0s3r322]

Are there any ExpressCard/34 Media Readers that sit flush with the MBP and don't stick out. I'd like to buy one to read my SD card and I probably won't take it out much.

There is one that Belkin sells (often at the Apple Store as well) that sits flush. It reads SD, xD, Memory Stick and some others. The reader itself sits flush but, if I recall correctly, the SD card will stick out a bit.

Hope that helps!

does anyone know exactly how well this works? the reviews on apple's site don't seem very reliable. only 3 reviews, and one of them is a 1/5 b/c the sd card sticks out....

i'm also looking at this one:

I have the Belkin Card reader and here is what it looks like, very cool I leave mine in all the time since its flush. I don't know if it uses more battery power just by been in there though.

That does look good! Just paint it silver and people will think it's factory.

Hey not a bad idea I think I will do that tomorrow. Thanks again for the idea.

thanks for the pics!

I think i will get the belkin one! btw: where did you buy it from? and how much?

i'm thinking of getting mine from amazon. $34 shipped.

I got it at the Apple Store when I got my MBP D2C for $29.99 plus tax.

Looks good, take some other shots if you can... it's hard to see the color

great pics again!

one question. does it sit 100% flush? cause it kinda looks like it sticks out a bit on the left side (of the pic)...or is that just an optical illusion b/c there's space...

It sticks out at the corner where you see it about 1 cm or less looks like it sticks out more on the picture but its not that bad.

I have the Belkin and it works good. It does stick out but it's hardly noticable. I measured it with a micrometer and sticks out less than .5mm which is practically nothing.
