    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I has 2 USB-C ports, but I sometimes need to download pictures on a memory card. The j5 solves this problem. It is convenient to store and provides ports for additional thumb drives.

    My daughter bought a MAC Book. We were unable to hookup some of her other devices to MacBook. This dock always use to easily down load photos to a memory stick to help expand phone memory. Easier to transfer work paper as well.

      Transferring photos from a phone to a computer, or simply looking to expand capabilities on your Mac, the JCD382 is the perfect add on - simply insert, watch the blue LED illuminate and done.

    This is a great connection tool. However if you have a card case on your laptop, this will not fully engage. I had to cute the side of my laptop case so this would sit flush against the computer. Otherwise no issue.

      We realize the inconvenience this causes for those using a cover on their Macs and we would like the opportunity to discuss other devices we have in stock that have a cable to plug into the Mac and therefore not have to cut the cover to work around this discrepancy. If you're interested, our support information can be found on the device packaging.

    Product is much needed if you intend to use your laptop with other devices. It's compact and quick reading for memory cards (I use SD cards due to my photography). A little overpriced but still a quality product.

    It doesn't snap in right. I have to keep messing with it till it lights up, then I can't move the computer or the light will turn off and it won't connect. Overpriced for this junk.

      Blessed, I regret to hear about the issues you experienced with the JCD382. Constant disconnection could be due to a cover on the Mac impeding full insertion or the USB-C connectors being loose. In order to properly diagnose, troubleshoot and offer a solution, we recommend contacting the support team and a rep will gladly help.
      We hope to hear from you,

    I looked at traditional docks, but this offers support for my basic connection needs in a package that is significantly smaller. Another plus is the look and feel. It matches my space gray Pro.

    I bought this as an adaptor for the new Mac I had to purchase. It must be securely snapped in to make sure it works. The problem I had was that it kept wriggling loose and losing connection. Also, it didn't fit well after I bought the cover for my mac

      Rich, I'm sorry to hear the JCD382 did not fit well with your Mac. Depending on the physical setup, there may be some adjusting that could be done to ensure a proper connection. For suggestions, we recommend reaching out to support and a rep will gladly assist.
