Any recommendations on a decent USB-C SD Card Reader? Hoping cheaper than the Apple one, but want it to be reliable.

Thanks. I was hoping for cheaper. If I’m spending $30 is there an advantage to these over Apples?
 
That makes me wonder why not a $10 one? I’m just afraid it won’t work well
 
So, I picked up the Sandisk Reader posted above, tried it today and get nothing. Any reason it wouldn’t work that I can possibly fix? Or should I just get Apples Reader?
 
I used the sandisk before returning it an getting the satechi one. I have no issues, just plug and play.

I saw on the reviews others have used it and it worked. But, I took some pics, plugged it in, and got nothing.
 
Well I’m one for those people that used it and had zero issues. I’m an android user and this ipad is my only apple product. I didnt have to do anything special to get it to work. :( sorry to hear yours isn’t working...

This hub works great for SD cards. I did return it though because HDMI out suffered from an occasional micro stutter. If only needing SD then it is a good option and offers more than just a card reader. HDMI is also fine for viewing images, it was scrolling video where I had issues.
