💻 VOASTEK USB 3.0 Smart Card Reader - Electronic ID Card, CAC Smart Card, and Memory Card Adapter - Compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 (32/64bit), Linux, Mac OS Review

I bought this to use with my MacBook Air. I love storing extra files on a micro SD card, but when I use a custom one I can't charge the computer because the device is too wide. I knew this would be the case before I bought it, but after using the adapter for a few months it got quite frustrating. If there was a female USB-C connector it would be 5 stars, but due to lack of versatility - 3.

If you have a protective sleeve on your laptop, you will not be able to fully insert the connector as the sleeve will get in the way a bit.

The light on it is actually pretty bright, and luckily it can be flipped with USB CI so the light isn't always shining directly in my eyes. What I found funny was the comment on the back of the box. It says it can explode and "hurt you" if you hit it, etc. Of course, it's easy to see from the phrase itself that…

A Note: When using this device on a portable device such as an iPad, the protective cover may prevent the connector from being fully inserted into the USB-C socket. The body of the device acts like molded insulation around the USB-C metal shell and as such is several inches "thick" and does not fit the normal molded opening of protective cases. It is better to insert the USB-C dongle plug through the protective cover on the tablet into the socket as far as it will go. When used WITHOUT a case…
