USB SD card reader with some taste?

[luketheduke]

Hi all,

I've been poking around a while for a USB to SD card reader to use with my 11" MacBook Air.

Ideally something with a couple of inches of cable so you can still use the thunderbolt/charging port.

Something that's got some style would be good, most of them are hideous. I'd love one which looks like a thunderbolt to DVI adapter, for example.

This Sandisk one is the closest I've found:

If you add a ~3" USB extension cable it'll make it look even busier. Surely there's something nicer out there?

Thanks for any help.

Transcend do a nice silver multi card reader:

Sure beats fumbling around with USB cables, and looks good too...can't vouvh for it as I seldom remove media from my cameras,preferring to connect them via my hub.

Consider moving to Eye-Fi cards? The convenience is fantastic.

Thanks for the suggestions, I was more looking for something along the size and style of the iPad camera connection kit. Not something that's massive and does other types of memory cards.

The wireless ones aren't going to be suitable either, I'll be using it at work.

This is the sort of thing I was talking about, in case anyone's interested.

The card goes in the end of it, it's fairly compact and aesthetically not bad.

Think they're discontinued, but still.
