Review: Excellent product that works as advertised. It worths the money. Review: Contrary to some reviews, this works fine on my iOS device. I’m glad I took the chance that it would. I’ve had similar SCR3500 in the USB A versions, do this saves me one less dongle in my pocket when I need access on the go. It hasn’t happened yet, but I expect to break one of the arm eventually like every previous one I’ve owned. ## Features - Smart-fold mechanics means ultra-compact, convenient-to-carry, and easy-to-handle ID1 smart card use - EMV Level 1 and FIPS 201-certified - SmartOS powered - MacBook, phones and tablets with (reversible) Type C USB ports - Supports all major smart cards 5V, 3V, and 1.8V, ISO/IEC 7816 Class A/B/C ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CV4D13G | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Batteries | 1 Nonstandard Battery batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #89,622 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #760 in External Memory Card Readers | | Brand | IDENTIV | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,821) | | Date First Available | 28 July 2018 | | Item Weight | 9.06 g | | Item model number | 905559-1 | | Manufacturer | IDENTIV | | Product Dimensions | 4.8 x 2 x 1.2 cm; 9.07 g | ## Images ![Identiv SCR3500C USB Smartfold Type C - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/413jwR0n4HL.jpg) ![Identiv SCR3500C USB Smartfold Type C - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QrOvYIVXL.jpg) ![Identiv SCR3500C USB Smartfold Type C - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31+rkKZcm5L.jpg) ![Identiv SCR3500C USB Smartfold Type C - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lt2GnEjPL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this work with new iPad Pro?** A: This is an old question but with the recent apple changes I was able to plug this directly into my ipad pro 22 version and it works without needing drivers or anything added. (July 1 2023) **Q: what software do you download to use on Mac book pro?** A: https://support[dot]identiv[dot]com/smartfold-scr3500/ -> Under Downloads -> Mac Drivers -> Click "Download" **Q: Will this reader work with the new iPad Pro?** A: Not yet, but companies like Thursby are working on it. **Q: Will this work with iPhone X?** A: At this time Apple doesn’t support Smart Card readers with USB-C connectors, so I’ve learned after getting this for a new iPad Pro, but it’s just a matter of time. I also have a reader with a lightning connector and it works just fine with my older Apple products (iPhone X, iPad Pro 1st Gen) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***U on 26 October 2020* Excellent product that works as advertised.
