    Great iPhone/ iPad memory storage

    I bought it without clues if it's going to perform well. I just needed an extra storage immediately to back up my photos and videos. And it did exactly what it's supposed to do! I used a 32 GB microSDHC and it did say it can read up to 128 GB. It transfers files back and forth from the Leef to the iPhone and even faster in the iPad Air 2. You can rename the folder if you have multiple iPhones or iPads to back up. The downside: it transfers a little bit slow in iPhone 5s, it crashes initially the first time you back up IF you have hundreds of pictures and videos combined (but doesn't anymore afterwards) so you have to do it about 3x before you get all the files, and lastly, you have to download the songs from the computer to the Leef (I thought it backs up the songs/movies from the iPhone too). It's small to carry, fits perfectly even with the iPhone/ iPad case on and with its unique design (curves back) it doesn't stick down too much compared to its competitors which can break the device. It's just pricey but I guess it's still worth the buy.

    I was shown this close-out product by a sales associate and was skeptical about purchasing. I had been looking for something like it, but was not familiar with the brand or operation. I have been extremely pleased, thus far, with the item and am very glad the sales associate guided me to it. It works as advertised.

    Anyone with a Apple device that has a lighting port needs one of these. They are great for storing pictures, music and even movies that can be played or displayed on your phone or iPad. The best feature is the fact you can transfer between the enclosed micro sd card and your iOS device.

    I got a few of these. Love them for sure. I had one that was malfunctioned which sucked but I returned it and got another one. I love that you can use any size micro sd in it. I even ran mine through the wash and surprisingly it still worked. Soaked it in rice for 24 hours to ensure but worked even before that. I recommend this for sure.

    Handy for backing up photos, voice memos, downloaded files to free up phone memory. Like that I can just get a new microSD card if that gets full before I can transfer files to pc (a lot cheaper than a new device; similar devices have a USB option instead of inserting a memory card, in which case, you have to transfer to pc, delete files, or buy another similar device for your external memory). So far, no problem backing up phone to device, then transferring to pc at a later time. Or with saving files from pc to be able to view on the go. Do have problems with playback of audio files if I plug device into phone for playback on the go.

    Got this product to use my memory card with my low capacity(16GB) iPhone 6. With the growing technology internal requirement of the phone is also increasing, with all the data being on smart phone the low disk space is major problem with my cell phone. Now I can transfer my data to the external memory card using leaf. Easy to use and transfer data. Documents are not supported and we can not use this directly to the laptop we must have memory card adaptor to use it in USB drive. The other end can be made as USB drive.

    There are a lot of competitor products for this. The reason I choose this one over all the other 3rd party options is because of the app. It's one thing to buy hardware, but you need good software to get to your files or play them. The app is best I have seen, but it could be better. Customer support for the app was great. Sometimes the drive doesn't read properly if you don't have it in all the way, but not too big of problem.

    Terrible external drive

    Usually, I'm not really harsh on product reviews but this product was less than a one star. First off, the item itself was kind of a bit pricey. Not only do you have to buy the external drive, you also have to buy the SD card for the item. The SD card is required for the external drive but does not come with it in the package. The external drive is also linked with an app you have to download on your smartphone. I downloaded the app, transferred my files to the external drive, although once I tried to view my files on the app it was not popping it. It would show a folder where the files hold but I couldn't see the file itself. Terrible external drive for a really high price. I wouldn't mind the price for it, if the product did its job. Definitely wouldn't recommend to a friend/family.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Read the reviews. The item worked great once we figured on how to use it. It's difficult at first to use, but once I knew how to make it work, it was very easy to download and save. Great to download photos from your iPhone, to free up memory. Also great to use with any size micro SD card. Need a strong wifi signal to use it!!!

    As I travel need to carry with me files that maybe I need to review and this is very good because if I have big files I can carry various mini XD and change them to get the file I want.

    I've been frustrated for a long time over getting constant reminders from my IPhone that I couldn't back up my stuff to the ICloud because I have no more space left. Absurd claim. So, I looked for a way to transfer my photos from my phone to my desktop, and a BB employee recommended this product. Did exactly what I wanted! Will use it on a regular basis.

    I have an older Ipad with little spare memory. This device makes it possible to store videos and other data on a micro sd card. Then with it in the leef, and the leef inserted into your device, you can access the files. For me, expanded memory without the expense of a new iPad..
