Add Storage to an Android Device With This Mini MicroSD Reader

If you're running out of space on your Android smartphone or tablet and want a quick fix, two Northern California brothers may have a solution.

Bay Area-based Andy and Rich (no last names identified) were initially frustrated that their Nexus tablet didn't have a built-in SD card reader to expand storage. So they developed a mini MicroSD card reader for Android devices, which plugs into the phone or tablet via micro-USB, as explained in the video above.

While the reader can fit on any Android device with mini-USB, the brothers have only confirmed that it works with certain phone and tablet models they've tested with. But to mount a Class 2 card on your device, they suggest using third party software, like StickMount.

The duo are trying to raise $5,000 on Kickstarter to further develop their mini MicroSD reader. With 29 days left in the Kickstarter campaign, they've received over $1,400 in pledges. Backers who pledge at least $8 can get the card reader.
