Worked perfect as was specified
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reason I purchased this item was so I could connect a USB memory stick to my Asus tablet. It worked just fine. Now I can back up files and data from my tablet. This device also lets me use a joystick made by Aimon to work on my tablet.

This adapter works for my OTG/USB host product.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hi, Everybody: This is a truly wonderful adapter if your product has OTG/USB Host capability, and you need to check and find out for sure if it really does before your making the purchase. I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab S, and I have been able to directly connect up my Olympus TG-830 camera and import photos and videos. I next learned to change the settings on the camera to be able to use the adapter to move files TO AND FROM the SD card that is inside the camera. This is important, because the camera uses a full-size and not a micro SD card, which would never fit into the tablet, and I didn't want to buy a micro SD card with an adapter. I also hooked up another tablet that does not have OTG/USB Host capability to the Tab S, and I could import photos and videos. Next, I turned off USB Debugging on that other tablet, and was able to work with whatever settings were necessary to be able to move files to and from this other tablet, meaning both its internal storage and external SD card. Therefore, in this case I could transfer to and from internal and external sources in both directions (four sources in all) when operating from the Tab S. Obviously, this adapter has many other potential uses, yet I am quite thrilled with what I have already been able to accomplish. Please be careful to note that this fits micro USB ports on the small end, and NOT the new USB C ones. For that you need a different adapter. Have Fun, John

Pretty useful if your phone supports it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not sure how I had never heard about OTG cables before, but I was pretty surprised that these were an option for some phones. I realized that if the phones I had supported the OTG technology then a simple, inexpensive cable like this would be well worth the purchase. I wasn't 100% sure if my phones were OTG or not (there are apps you can use to supposedly verify, but these aren't always 100% accurate). The Best Buy rep didn't have any way of knowing for sure if the OTG cable would work on my phones or not. He was very helpful to point out that BB's return policy would allow me to buy it, try it, and return it within 15 days if it didn't work. I purchased the cable, and it did turns out that my primary phone does have OTG but the secondary phones I use don't. This cable is short and simple with enough flexibility and firmness to make me think it'll last while with basic care. The small size also makes it very portable. It secures firmly into the phone, and the flash drive fits firmly into the cable. Overall this makes for a great connection.I think if more people knew about OTG they would use it (assuming their phone is capable). Hope this helps. Thanks. Matthew 7:12

Must Have For Tablets!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed this for my new Amazon Fire HD 10 - had to copy work Word Docs from my Flash Drive to the huge 32 GB internal storage space...and SD card - but the Fire HD only has a Micro USB so this little gadget/gizmo works as it should (and my Flash Drive shows up as storage on the tablet). I keep it with my Fire in the case - and I'm able to work, even w/o WiFi, because I can ALSO use this to take my work from the Fire HD on the external Flash Drive and then plug it into the micro USB slot on my Android phone and email my work THAT way if I'm no where near a hot spot. Samsung devices usually include this OTG cable, but no matter, Best Buy had what I needed (I also bought a USB-C version for my Samsung Tablet). This has made my work/home life balance AMAZING! I am doing freelance dictation so this enables me to leave my house and still earn $$ AND not have to lug my laptop everywhere! So happy.
