YOUR BUYING COMPANION
Get the right fit for your setup.
Three useful checks before you order. Work through them at your own pace.
01Check the fit and intended use
The host must have a USB-C data port and support the chosen card or USB accessory. Phone and tablet use may require OTG support and a file-management app. This reader does not plug directly into an older Lightning iPhone or iPad. Card filesystem, capacity, permissions and software support depend on the host. Use one interface at a time; simultaneous operation, video output and pass-through charging are not promised.
02Choose the right configuration
Review the pack, color and other options. The selected configuration and price identify what goes in your cart; the photograph does not establish pack quantity.
03Plan the first use
Read the setup and care guidance below. For a larger supply order, check one item against the actual fit and intended task before distributing the rest.
Use these checkboxes to track your review. Confirm the selected contents and any fitting or care requirements before ordering.
WHAT IT IS · HOW IT WORKS
Three connection choices. One compatible USB-C host.
Read a compatible SD or microSD card, or connect a supported USB-A accessory, through a USB-C computer, tablet or phone. This white reader has a short attached USB-C male lead and three separate connection points: full-size SD, microSD/TF and USB-A. Use one interface at a time. Check the host’s USB data or OTG support, filesystem support and power requirements before ordering; a USB-C-shaped port alone does not establish compatibility.
Identify the three sockets
The wide card slot is for compatible full-size SD cards, the small slot is for compatible microSD/TF cards, and the USB-A socket accepts a supported USB-A accessory. Each serves a different connection; no memory card or USB device comes with the reader.
Use one interface at a time
The source diagram expressly says the SD, microSD and USB interfaces cannot be used simultaneously. This listing follows that restriction. Finish and safely disconnect the current card or accessory before changing interfaces.
Check the host, then the storage format
A compatible host needs USB data support and software that can read the card’s filesystem. A card that works in a camera may still need a supported filesystem, app or permission on your phone or tablet. Back up important files before any formatting.
Bring the right cable connection
The attached lead ends in a USB-C male plug. Older Lightning iPhones and iPads have a different connector. A wall charger or USB-C charge-only port is not a file-reading host. Unsupported device or accessory functions are not added by this reader.
KNOW THE PORTS
Choose one connection for the task.
Use the SD slot, microSD slot or USB-A socket with a supported host and accessory. The source diagram limits use to one interface at a time. Illustrated cards and devices are not included.

How to use it.
- 1
Check the host and card
Confirm the USB-C host’s data/OTG support and its supported card formats/filesystems. Inspect the reader and card, and keep a separate backup of important files.
- 2
Connect one card or accessory
Insert one compatible card in its matching slot without forcing it, or connect one supported USB-A accessory. Connect the attached USB-C plug to the host.
- 3
Open the appropriate file or device app
Use the host’s file manager, import utility or accessory application. Grant only the permissions needed for that use. If nothing appears, check compatibility, power and filesystem support; do not immediately format a card containing wanted files.
- 4
Finish and eject before unplugging
Wait for transfers to finish and use the host’s safe-eject or unmount function for storage. Remove the device carefully, then switch to another interface if needed.

Moving supported files from an SD or microSD card, or connecting one supported USB-A accessory to a compatible USB-C data host.

BEFORE YOU ORDER
Useful answers.
What is included?
One white reader with its attached USB-C male lead. SD cards, microSD cards, USB peripherals, a host device and a separate charger are not included.
Can I use SD, microSD and USB at the same time?
Use one interface at a time. The supplier’s port diagram says the interfaces cannot be used simultaneously.
Will this plug into an older Lightning iPhone?
No. The attached connector is USB-C, not Lightning. Check the physical connector and host requirements before ordering.
Does it support every USB-C device?
No universal compatibility is established. The host must support USB data and the intended accessory; phone or tablet use may require OTG and suitable software.
Does the USB-A socket charge my phone?
Pass-through charging is not promised. This listing is for supported data/accessory connections, not a wall charger.
What card capacity or transfer speed is guaranteed?
A tested maximum capacity or sustained transfer rate is not established here. Check the host’s supported card format, filesystem and capacity and test the intended configuration before important use.
Does it come with memory cards?
No. Cards and connected devices shown in the diagram illustrate usage only.
What if the host asks to format my card?
Stop if the card contains files you need. Check filesystem support and make a separate backup before formatting; formatting can erase the card.
Is this the same as the compact two-slot reader?
No. This model has an attached lead and an additional USB-A socket. The separate compact reader listing has a different physical design and connection arrangement.
