Overview

The Dalimee 3-in-1 Card Reader is a versatile accessory that lets you read and write SD and microSD cards across a wide range of devices, including iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones, PCs, and MacBooks. It features three built-in connectors — USB Type-C, USB-A, and Lightning — so you don't need any extra cables. Manufactured by Dalimee and sold by Dalimee-JP on Amazon Japan (ASIN: B0G1352624).

Key Features

  • 3-in-1 connectors: USB Type-C, USB-A, and Lightning ports support iPhone/iPad (Lightning), Android/PC (USB-C/USB-A).
  • High-speed transfer: USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 5Gbps transfer speeds, making it quick to move large photo and video files.
  • Broad media compatibility: Supports SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC, MMC, RS-MMC, and more.
  • OTG function: Connect directly to smartphones or tablets to browse and transfer data from memory cards. No driver installation required — just plug and play.
  • Compact design: Small white body is easy to carry, perfect for travel or on-the-go data management.

Compatibility Guide

  • When using the Lightning connector with iPhone/iPad, transfer speed is limited to 480Mbps (USB 2.0). For large data sets, a USB-C device is recommended.
  • USB-C Android phones and MacBooks can achieve USB 3.0 speeds, though the actual rate depends on the host device's USB capabilities.
  • Works with standard USB-A ports on Windows and Mac PCs. For best performance, connect to a USB 3.0 port.
  • SD cards formatted as FAT32 or exFAT are fully supported. NTFS-formatted cards may be read-only.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Quickly backing up photos and videos from your smartphone to an SD card.
  • Transferring images from a digital camera's SD card directly to an iPhone or iPad without a computer.
  • Multi-platform users who switch between PC, Mac, Android, and iPhone.
  • Travelers who want to manage data using only a smartphone without carrying a laptop.

Upgrade Considerations

  • This is a card reader only — it does not have built-in storage. You need a separate memory card.
  • The Lightning connector is not explicitly listed as MFi certified. If you rely on the latest iOS compatibility, consider an Apple-certified alternative.
  • While USB 3.0 is supported, Lightning connections are limited to USB 2.0 speeds. If you frequently transfer large RAW images or 4K video, pairing this reader with a USB-C iPad Pro or MacBook is ideal.
