    I purchased this adapter to use with a 64 GB usb flash drive in order to backup my android phone. It worked great. I was able to copy the files from my phone to the flash drive with ease.

    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.

    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

    I was thrilled to get a hand-me-down Nokia tablet that was preloaded with Office from a relative. It meant I could work on my docs without pulling out my laptop. The setback was not having a USB (Type A) port so I could open or save to my flashdrive. This OTG adapter saved the day. Not only is it inexpensive, it is compact and does the job well.

    Bought to attach mouse to Android phone to unlock screen. Also allows usb flashdrive and Keyboards to attach. All that is required is to make sure usb debugging is turned on in Android. Then if touchscreen quits working you can attach mouse to draw an unlock pattern. Good Android accessory to have around and hard to find.

    I have had this connector for about a month now, and I love it! I'm a student, so I mainly use this for school purposes. For example, I used this today to finish writing an essay during my lunch for a class since my essay was saved to my flash drive, which I connected to my phone with this adapter. It came in handy since it saved my grade as the essay was due at the end of the day today! I bought this item because: -I wanted an adapter like this -The adapter that came with my phone did not work with mu case on, while this one did -This adapter has a fantastic price This product has great reliability and a strong build- the part in the middle can be moved a bit but is a bit stiff (this seemed a bit unclear to me from the image). Overall, great product, would buy again (if this ever happens to break, which I doubt), and I would definitely recommend it!

    This product was recommended by one of the Blue Shirts. and I LOVE it! I was unaware of this simple and easy solution for transferring pictures and files directly from my Samsung phone to a a flash drive. Saved me lots of time and the extra step of having to first download them to my computer.

    This item works as intended, but you are powering the device attached from your phone or tablet, so expect your battery to run down. I have since bought on where I can charge the phone at the same time as powering the device. This works for quick file transfers etc, but I wanted it to hook up a usb camera in my car for rear view usage. It does work for that. Just not something you can leave on and connected.

    The screen of my phone totally cracked and I could not get into the phone - saw this at Best Buy and thought about giving it a shot. It worked perfectly! The USB plugs into a mouse and you can also hook it up to other devices. Definitely comes in handy.

    This adaptor allowed me to use a USB drive on my android tablet. Now I can drop or load files from other sources! Great product. First you have to download an app to use it. No problem installing and running the program. Great accessory to have. Well worth it!!

    I use this with my Android tablet with a USB Dock and corded Mouse and Keyboard when I need to. It is, also, great when I need to use a Thumb Drive to transfer files or direct download to, too. Great to get a couple of these and give them to a power user when I meet them for a nice random act of techiness. semicolon closed parenthesis

    If you need an OTG adapter for the DJI Spark, this is the way to go. It`s small and flexible. Allowed my to hook up my tablet, and now I have no lag. I can connect any USB cable into it, so my options for what device to connect into the controller is open.

    I needed to fix a Table device with Windows OS on it. The only port available is this through micro USB. I needed to connect a DVD drive, keyboard, and mouse device. Of course, I needed, as well, other gadgets but hooray to Insignia OTG.

    Works great on my Kyocera DuraForce Pro & my wife's Samsung S7. It's so easy to transfer files, pics, and videos from our phones so much faster and easier. No more dealing with Windows 10 and trying to install drivers anymore.
