If you've ever damaged your memory card accidentally when it has been positioned so that it sticks out of your card reader, Kingston's USB2 Media Reader aims to help you out with its innovative sliding chassis.

Pushing forward on the thumb guide at the top of the chassis brings the reader ports to the front of the device, allowing you to insert your various memory cards.

Then you simply push back on the guide, which pulls the reader units and any inserted cards back inside the outer case for protection.

The reader supports all the major card formats, with the exception of XD Picture Card.
