Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a microSD memory card with a semi-transparent color surface according to a first embodiment of our new design;

FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a left side elevation view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a right side elevation view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a rear elevation view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a front elevation view thereof;

FIG. 8 is a front perspective view of a microSD memory card with a semi-transparent color surface according to a second embodiment of our new design;

FIG. 9 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 10 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 11 is a left side elevation view thereof;

FIG. 12 is a right side elevation view thereof;

FIG. 13 is a rear elevation view thereof; and,

FIG. 14 is a front elevation view thereof.

The differently-shaded areas indicate different color surfaces of the microSD memory card but are not intended to indicate specific colors. The transparency shading used in combination with a color shading indicates a semi-transparent color surface. The “microSD” logo shown in phantom is not part of the claimed design and is only shown to illustrate the fact that the semi-transparent color surface allows indicia on the microSD memory card, if present, to be seen therethrough. The elements shown in broken line are not claimed.

Claims

The ornamental design for a microSD memory card with a semi-transparent color surface, substantially as shown and described.
