      Hello Paul,
      Thank you for sharing your review and feedback. I understand that this mini dock may be at a higher price point than others. This device brings so much functionality to a Mac Book. With this mini dock you can add 2 external displays and still connect a USB-C device, 2 USB-A devices, and SD/Micro SD cards. It is good to hear that you like the device.
      Cheers,
      J5Create j5create

    My new 15" MacBook Pro didn't come with any USB ports. I looked at a "pigtail" as the first option. Then I looked at this docking station. This gives much more flexibility with two USB ports, a charging port and a couple others for a very reasonable price.

    Needed the USB ports so I could save some items on my flash drive. This item was perfect and had more than I needed but will probably use the others down the road so I won’t have to purchase another item by having it all on this one adapter.

    It’s an amazing drive for me mostly because I use it to install 2 usb drive for my photos and iPod. I sometimes use the other cord but for right now those 2 are my main priority. Definitely recommend it for anyone that owns a Mac book.

      For Mac users, the Mini Dock is a great choice due to it's plug and play design; simply connect to the Mac and obtain SD card reading capability, HDMI monitor addition, and USB ports for mice, keyboards, webcams and more!

    This dock was very convenient to use. However, my MacBook Pro only has two Thunderbolt ports and this dock covers both of them. As a result, I was unable to plug in the Apple Optical Drive I purchased because it will not operate from a dock, it must be plugged directly into the computer. Had I not needed to own an optical drive, this dock would have suited me fine.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So, without getting into an argument about why adapters like this are now necessary with new Macs, This is a "must have". This low profile adapter brings all the necessary connections without sacrificing anything. The build quality is good* and stays firmly in place. I wouldn't recommend using when not on a hard flat surface, as this could damage the lightning ports.

      Alex, When it comes to compacting all USB accessories into one, the JCD382 makes the perfect choice. It's compatibility with MacBooks makes an attractive and useful choice for augmenting HDMI, SD card readers and more.
