Good, not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well 90% of the time. Sometimes the connections fall out and are not solidly secure. I’ve had to sit and hold the power cable in to get the MacBook to pickup a charge. Plenty of usable ports for expansion

Best drive dock I've used
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best drive dock that I've ever used. Its so simple to operate, all you have to do is plug it into your laptop and put whatever memory card you have in it and it comes right up on the screen!

Great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I need to use USB 3.1 and SD cards so this was a great option. The only downside is that this will not power the Apple Super Drive. If you have a 15 inch MBP this will not be a problem.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Due to a higher power requirement on the super drive, it may not work through the JCD382 and will require a direction connection to the computer instead; for this we recommend the JUCX05. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you would like to learn more about the JUCX05, please feel free to reach out to support and we'll gladly answer any questions you may have.

Great, but a tight fit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this product, I've used all the ports and the device works well when you have a lot of things plugged in. The only down side is that it can be difficult to plug in if you have any type of case on your mac. I suggest only buying this product if you have no, or a very thin case on.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Jhart, If you are attempting to use a cover on your Mac while using a j5create device, we recommend looking at the JCD383 which connects via a cable and that should work for you. If you wish to speak with an agent for more information, please reach out to us and we'll gladly assist.

Does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works, but only the left side of the computer, it would be nice if it would also work when plugged into the right side of my computer also. When I plugged in a usb and took it out, it was hard to get the usb out of the port. It works good, but wish those things were fixed.

Posted .Hello and thanks for the review on the JCD382. We're sorry to hear you had a hard time unplugging the USB ports from the Mac; because the mini dock requires a snug connection to work properly, the tight conjunction could be concerning to some extent, we understand. If needed, a representative can be reached with support information on the casing and a rep will be happy to further explain this.

Works great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well with the switchover to thunderbolt the MacBook Pro uses 4 ports 2 on the left 2 on the right. This little drive works great and looks like part on the unit when in use. Great buy!!
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Obtaining more capabilities for your Mac is now easier; with the JCD382, adding screens, charging, SD card reading and USB ports for peripherals is part of the deal when using the mini dock - we value the feedback.

Everything you need in one device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very nice product. It allows the user to use all of the features of the laptop with one device. The only criticism I would have is that it doesn't fit if you have a cover for your MacBook Pro. Our college student has to take off her case which makes her nervous.
I would recommend this to a friendUltra Drive Dock
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works good with power and flash drive. I connected my monitor, which requires an adapter into this and it did not work. I guess an adapter plugged into an adapter was too much adapting! Plugged it into the other side and no problem. Other than that, it has worked great

Posted .Mac users needing more ports turn to the JCD382 as it's multiple ports for different uses make it a superb device; simply connect to the Mac, watch the blue LED light turn on and you're ready to go.

Excellent Device
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I Have A MacBook Air, it only has 2 ports. This device allows me to connect the other devices I need, plus an external monitor, and more, great unit and price.

Nice accessory
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I love my MacBook Air, it is really lacking in ports. This dock has been great! I can connect external devices which don’t have USB C and am able to use all of my peripherals. I was able to get this on sale which made it an even better deal.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Thanks to hubs like the JCD382, MacBook Air users can now instantly augment capabilities; HDMI, SD card reader, and USB ports for peripherals in one make a must have.

Fixed annoying problem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The most annoying thing about the new MacBook is the lack of input ports other than the 2 thunderbolts. This dock adds many other types of ports for input from other sources.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Not having enough ports on your Mac to meet your needs can be disruptive for work; with the JCD382 you now have SD card reading, charging capabilities, additional monitors to work off and more.

Camera is excellent.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are very happy with this camera. We actually used it at a friend's wedding a few days after purchase. Considering it was a new purchase the over three hundred pictures were very good. I thought it would be more difficult to use, great camera.
