I looked at all (well, many of) the other ones 'world's smallest' SD card reader. This one has the smallest protrusion when inserted into the USB slot. There is less protrusion than those tiny bluetooth dongles. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25558 It comes in white too, to match your iThing: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25557 Note that the micro SD card is inserted into the USB-end of the device, so you have to unplug the reader from the computer before you can change the micro SD card. At US$3.88, it is 11c cheaper now than when I bought it...though quite a bit more expensive than those US$0.98 models.
