Abstract

A memory card assembly includes a memory card and a case. The memory card includes a first end with a USB interface and a second end. The case includes a compartment for removably receiving the second end of the memory card. The case further includes a coupling member extending from a wall defining the compartment. When the second end of the memory card is inserted into the compartment of the case, the coupling member and the first end of the memory card together form a coupling socket adapted for coupling with a coupling seat inside a coupling opening of a USB socket, with the USB interface located in the coupling socket and in electrical contact with contacts of the USB socket.
