Review: Easy access for iPhone - 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.

(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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy access for iPhone *by C***E on April 22, 2026* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect mobile card reader *by B***T on February 7, 2026* I love this card reader! it is small and easy to carry with you and gets the job done with ease! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute CAC reader and works like a champ *by S***Y on September 10, 2020* I needed a CAC reader for home and this one is perfect. It is mobile, I keep it on my keychain and I am always prepared to login to my CAC enabled sites on the go when I have my laptop with me. Since it is so compact I can also keep it in my computer bag without taking up a lot of space. My only issue is that the unit does not snap together when in the folded form so it sometimes opens on its own, but so far it has not been damaged and also worked without any issues. I just downloaded the drivers from the website and it worked like a charm. Overall, great product so when I want a larger reader to keep at my desk. I will be back to purchase it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Identiv SCR3500C USB Smartfold Type C - Identiv SCR3500 Smartfold Smart Card Reader - Identiv SCR3310v2.0 USB Smart Card Reader --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/81672939-scr3500c-usb-smartfold-type-c](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/81672939-scr3500c-usb-smartfold-type-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
