Review on IDENTIV USB Smartfold Type C SCR3500C by Ryan Lawson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not very versatile CAC reader

What I like: Plug and play on a laptop, no additional drivers Windows 10 not required. Type C connector. The cable is much shorter than my SCR 3310 and therefore takes up less space. What I don't like: Having to pay $99.99 for software to use on my Android phone. It is not possible to use the reader on your smartphone without additional drivers that are not included in the price of the reader. If you only use it on a laptop, this reader is pretty good. On the other hand, if you were hoping to find a universal reader that can be used on both your computer and phone, skip this one unless you want to pay for an app to use it.

Pros
  • Supports all major 5V, 3V and 1.8V smart cards, ISO/IEC 7816 Class A/B/C
Cons
  • Expensive
