MicroSD memory card with a semi-transparent color surface

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

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