13" MacBook Pro docks?

Long time reader... sporadic poster.

I picked up the 13" TB and love it. My only gripe so far is the port situation -- I hate having to use two or three adapters to get the connections I need.

I've seen things like this floating around (but not available for release)...

and

Is there any available dock/adapter that provides 2 USB ports, SD card reader & HDMI out? I've been googling around but can't find anything. Extra battery power is a non-issue for me. I'd prefer a separate, 'box' type adapter.

Many thanks!

There are options out there, but you'll need some feedback from other users on which ones are actually good. OWC has a few options, but the reviews on Amazon do not look good for them. I'll be interested to see what everyone else is using.

There is a similar thread with suggestions here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/which-tb3-dock-for-your-15mbp.2028702/

I am using this one and generally am very happy (although there are some minor limitations):

However, it may or may not be available where you are located.
