    I recently got an SD/MMC card reader for £1 which seems to be recognised as USB2 -

    Useful since the SD slot on my Pc failed.

    I've taken several things back and always got a refund without hassle. Some things are excellent for the money and work well. Other things you would not want free of charge.

    I took this back and they exchanged it for a USB hub. They didn't have the cell phone cases anymore (maybe they realized they were junk?) so I couldn't do a fair exchange. I'm not sure what they would have done if I asked for my money back, but there was no problem doing an exchange for a different item.

    It's too bad, the cell phone case felt really nice, but it had a critical flaw with the clip being just glued on rather than rigid. It was only glued in two small spots, I'm surprised it didn't snap off earlier.

    I've had 2 of these for some time & can tell you that as well as the glue there is a rivet holding the plastic piece to the pouch.
    Due to abuse at work I managed to break this & lost the clip so had to effect a repair by pok'ing 2 holes in th fabric & passing a nylon tie through thus making a belt loop.
    Both cases still in daily use.P1010353.jpg
