Does this card have a writing lock mechanism? It's on the outside, and if you see no sliding mechanism that means it does not. Either way, let me know

No sliding mechanism. As far as I know there have never been any Compact Flash Cards with write protection hardware - it is not a part of the CF Specification. SD cards have them but I have never seen one on a CF Card, and this one is no different.

No it does not. I don't know that I've ever seen one on a CF card. I have only seen that on an SD card. I hope that helps. I have had good luck with them so far.

I just realized that the photo shown here is totally different from the well organized cardreader which I purchased from Amazon and which I endorse wholeheartedly. The serial number on mine is 2JAXQY. To me, any change in design is not going to be a change for the better. In mine, the cards are concealed and protected. I actually close it up and stash it, with cards stored in it. In this thing the cards are sticking out of the side in an unsightly and unsafe manner. I'm sure the USB connector is not retractable if that answers your question, Luis.

No, there is a rubber grip where cards are. I've had mine for awhile now and I actually thought it wouldn't hold one single card securely because I thought mine would be stretched out a little from putting three cards in there all the time. I just put one in and shook my phone and the card doesn't slide out at all.

If you take the card out and look to see a tiny slider, slide it the other way and put back in the camera. That should do it, or try a different card.

There are two c/card slots horizontally like in the picture. There is one vertical slot that is beside it. so you would be sliding your cash behind the two credit card slots. I hope I explained it well. The only thing is that it gets hard to close with the two c/card slots filled.

Only the small flange is outside of the slot and does not present an issue such as being bent or pulled out inadvertently. Also, special tools are not required to remove the card.

Did you try slide the little slot at the top of the card. It locks and unlocks it. The position of the card makes the card work or not work.

the yellow switch on left side does slide to lock it ... could have bumped it down ... to fix issue slide the slider to the top

No, there's a rubbery plastic arm that applies pressure to the cards inside the case. If you only keep 1 or 2 cards in there all the time, they should not slip out.I personally squeeze in 4 cards and find that to be the absolute maximum capacity. If I minimize it down to 2 cards at this point, it will still be okay and not slip out. 1 card alone will definitely slip out.

This device does not control the read/write settings. Before you slide your SD card into this device you need to set the read/write setting using the slide switch on the side of the SD card itself.

Yes it's built without that layer of paper that cards get caught on.I tried it for you to see and I had to press on the notches first but card went in. Moved folder around and it stayed in place even when bent or folded.

It does "lock," but not in the way I believe you are saying (there is no latch to unlock it if that's what you mean). If you extend it out fully, it will "lock" but a push will retract it back in. Just the same when it is fully retracted, it "locks" into place there as well, but again, with a slight pull, it comes unlocked. It is not a free flowing slide. Confusing I know, but I hope it makes some sense.

Ran into the same issue at first. You can use a coin or a corner of an old credit card and press down in the little slot hard enough and it should slide open easily. Don't force it.

You can only slide cards in from inside center per page when you open the book. Can slide in 2 cards, viewable from back and front. Hope this helps.

It jams sometimes, but it doesn't damage cards. It seems to be jamming more often lately. Any suggestions on how to prevent jamming?

This is simply a carrier. It does not change the settings of your SD card. The card would need to be set to write protect before inserting it into the carrier. There should be a small slide switch toward the pins on the left side of the card. Moving this switch down or to the lock position, causes the card to be write protected. Moving the switch up, allows the card to be written to.

It has a sliding plate. That plate is attached to your camera, then there is a knuckle bolt you can loosen, then slide it off while pressing the lock. It isn't exactly quick nor work great, but better than nothing!!
