Abstract
The invention is directed to a multi-connector memory card that includes a device connector and a connector that conform to a device connection standard and a host connection standard respectively. The dimensions of the memory card may substantially conform to dimensions of a memory card standard, such as a MultiMedia Card standard or a Secure Digital standard. A retractable sheath fits over a housing of the memory card to protect electrical contacts on the device-connector and the host connector. In particular, the retractable sheath that can be positioned in a first position to cover the host connector and expose the device connector, and a second position to cover the device connector and expose the host connector.
