Review on IDENTIV USB Smartfold Type C SCR3500C by Owoeye Reed

This type C does not read my card but I have tried to buy type A of the same brand and all and it works fine. Why doesn't this C-type work? I think I received a defective piece. Maybe I was just unlucky and almost everyone else got jobs. If it worked it would be great, although from a design point of view I don't see why the plug part couldn't mimic an A type and be folded rather than sticking out and thus taking up more space.
