    Needed a card reader in a hurry and grabbed this one. Functions well, but one downside is that when it's plugged into one of the two USB-C ports on a macbook air it interferes with using the other port. Find that annoying.

    Pay attention to your port spacing

    Works well, but pay attention to where your ports are on your laptop. My C port is very close to my charging port so the bulk from the strap cover does not allow it to be plugged in with the card slot facing me. In order to use it in that space I need to either remove my charging cable or put the SD card in first then carefully insert the reader. Thankfully my laptop also has the USB slot.
