So I bought one of these dirt cheap (actually, dirt is probably more expensive, especially nice potting soil) SD card readers from DealExtreme. It also reads MMC and RS-MMC but I only have SD cards, so that's what's important. So here's my review of this $2 reader:

It works! Plug it into USB, stick a card in there. Bam. How long will it last? Not sure, I've done several large transfers without a hitch.

Assuming these do last, these would be great for modding. Add an internal SD slot to your case! Or... your monitor, your desk, your printer, where ever. Make a custom case for it! Cram it a toy or something.

If you are concerned about getting your $2 worth check the user reviews on DealExtreme. Some users had mixed results.

Buy it on Amazon
