Works well, looks good, but has issues with iMac

Issue #1: This device cannot be safely installed on older iMacs with thick profiles (e.g. 2007 to mid-2012) because the Clip slips off the curved back. I was able to securely attach a strip of Velcro along the bottom of the display. (A dab of glue can also give the clip a good grip.) Problem #2: When the hub is installed and powered on and the iMac goes to sleep, it locks into a state where not only can you wake it up , it does not even respond to the power button . You'll have to unplug and plug your iMac back in, which will force a restart. I had to set the power saving control to "never sleep" to get around this problem. It looks pretty good (goes well with the iMac's aluminum frame) and is a huge improvement over the iMac's rear-only USB port. Ports, but the sleep problem makes the problem worse.
