I have the Reader now since a few weeks in operation, and am fully satisfied. I find the materials and the processing very valuable. The idea with the collapse as protection of slots has been implemented well, it works properly and does not cause knots in the fingers (open / closed). The weight on the bottom ensures that the reader does not schliddert across the table at each gentle nudge. Of the write speeds ago he convinced (USB3, with Lexar CF cards). I highly recommend him!
