Nerd Heaven

I have survived for years with a tangle of cords and and cheap card readers on my desk. Finally my mess paid off. I won a Griffin Simplifi card reader and dock in Griffin’s Messy Desk Contest. I had contemplated buying one, but decided to hold off for a while… which worked out perfectly.

From my past experiences with hubs and card readers I expected a flimsy piece of equipment. I was wrong! The dock, while small, is sturdy and well balanced. It fits in nicely beside my iMac. SD/SDHC cards are easy to slide in and out (it also reads XD, Memory Sticks, and Compact Flash cards). I haven’t had a problem yet while using a number of different cards. The dock comes with a number of different inserts to fit different iPods, iPod touches, and iPhones. Currently I have the insert in for the iPod Classic. I’d like to use it for my iPhone since it gets charged more, but I don’t have one of the cool Griffin Cases that are built for using a dock. The dock also comes with two USB ports in addition to the one used to connect to your computer. This is how I charge my iPhone. The dock also comes with an AC adaptor.

Overall this is a great product that is very helpful if you use any Apple handheld products and regularly use flash media. It is well built, matches Apple’s style, and is easy to setup and use. Thanks for the great product Griffin!

I have had other products from Griffin including a case for my iPod Classic and the iTrip Auto (07). Both were great products.

Yes, I did get this product for free. Remember, I didn’t have to write a review for this product. It simply works and makes my life easier.
