Despite some reviews stating it did not fit the 2020 iMac, they obviously had a different model, as mine fitted perfectly and is the same colour, therefore a perfect match.
I have tested all ports and everything works fine.
It’s perfect – easy to install and gives you those missing cable links ,plus the photo card slots
easy to install but feels insecure when pushing USB in so have to hold it with other hand. That said, it works a treat once connected
Very thoughtfully designed product giving easily accessible ports on the lower front edge of the iMac. No more scrabbling blind round the back feeling for the right port.
Brilliant solution to connecting peripherals to an iMac. Not an issue they tell you about when buying but becomes very obvious when you start working.
Fits very well and looks like it’s always been a part of the machine (2019 imac)
No more scrabbling blindly round the back and possibly causing scratches.
Very happy
Really pleased with this USB clamp which is easy to fit. Very nicely made and the colour matches the Mac perfectly- in fact it looks as if it was part of the original computer when shipped. Really useful as it provides easily accessible, additional connectivity whilst only using one of the rear ports. Provides both data and power to accessories so ideal for charging mobile phones etc. Thoroughly recommended.
Great little add on i like me you use usb and SD cards its great not to have to grovel at the rear of your mac. So far so Gooood! Supply on Amazon ws super.
Since the new iMac doesn’t have enough ports, I was looking for a port dock that didn’t cost 200+. Fortunately, this one was only 50 and it’s damn well worth the price.
Although it doesn’t have a huge amount of ports, it has enough to support my video editing and transfers data relatively quickly.
I’ve had one issue with it not reading my SanDisk memory card, but I just reset my iMac and the issue resolved itself.
My favourite part is that it attaches to the iMac, so it doesn’t take up unnecessary desk space like so many others.
Definitely something I’d buy again.
I don’t normally write reviews unless it’s perfect perfect perfect, this product fits the bill.
I was a little sceptical after reading reviews from 5 star to one star but I was looking for something like this for my iMac for ages so I took a chance
Now I can only speak on my 2019 iMac not the newer iMac model out there, however if it has the vents underneath it (See pictures to see if it matches your iMac’s vent underneath), then it should fit without issue.
Someone was upset on their review that the USB C stopped working. I don’t know if this will work but I’m using Type C to USB 3. adapter (the link is below) which is not plugged in the type C USB port but in one of the 4 normal USB at the back and it works absolutely fine

It’s well built, it’s very secure and so far it does what it says on the tin for the price. However If it doesn’t in the future then I will definitely do an update in the future.
A great addition to my iMac for all the USB accessories I use with it, now I don’t need to keep wasting time trying to locate the ports on the back, its super easy and fast with this add-on.
The hub clamps securely to the iMac screen, with the rear wire out of sight. The colour blends nicely with the iMac, and all the additional slots (USB, SD etc) are within easy reach. I tend to support the hub with my left hand whilst inserting or removing a plug-in to avoid any pressure on the clamp.
Really nice hub which fits neatly on the bottom of an iMac, really looks as if is part of the computer, aluminium colour matched perfectly, putting a row of sockets at the front makes them far more accessible!
Although a little expensive, I thought, it really looks the part. It feels solid and well made and fits perfectly into the grooves under the screen. Why Apple chose to place these behind no-one knows.
This piece of kit is amazing! It simply screws to the lip of the Mac. It’s neat, looks great and no trailing cables! As well as USB ports it has card readers! Waited years to find something like this
Looks good and seems to work well so far. Had to fiddle with USB c connector on the back of the iMac, had to wiggle it and push to get it to
connect, but that was probably due to my iMac being opened up recently to have extra ram fitted. Bit fiddly to fit under the screen, but once
I got the hang of it, it fits solidly. I only gave 4 stars, as I think its a bit over priced – 35/40 would be about right in my opinion. But I do like
it! PS I have not tried the front USBc and micro SD ports yet.
Perfect match to iMac Pro. Makes life easier to access cards and USB’s. Also great for card data transfers. Neat fixing makes it look integral to the unit as a factory fit.
Really good flush fit to my Mac giving easy access to the USB ports that Apple put at the back of the machine, which in my case are totally in the wrong place.
This item looks smart but the attachment to the iMac is flimsy, mainly caused by the iMac. Inserting an USB with one hand makes the screen tilt so two hands required. Better than fiddling round the back. For many people I suspect it will only be used occasionally and is ideal for that.
I ordered the space grey model for my 2017 iMac Pro. It is really easy to fit, looks great and provides all the ports I need, accessible from the front – no more fumbling around the back. My only negative observation is that the SD card slot is not very deep, with the card mostly hanging out of the hub – providing a possibility of catching the card and snapping it.
Inserting USB connectors to the hub is easy but the Mac can swivel as you do so, therefore I just hold the screen with one hand and pop the USB in with the other. There are cheaper hubs on the market; this one met my needs and is well-built so I think it is worth the additional cost.
Good for providing easily accessible ports for the front of the iMac. Instructions for fitting could be clearer, but once you figure it out fits well. Nicely made and finished.
I was running out of inputs on a 2017 Imac 5k
Its super easy to install, line up the thunderbolt 3 cable, attach the hub, tighten it up, plugin and your good to go.
Feels solid when inserting usb keypens
The micro sd slot reads my drone memory card
The SD reader works with Sony A7r3
Good bit of kit to have if you need more inputs
Not expecting much, I contacted the seller, who sent me a new, no quibble replacement that works perfectly.
I had not expected this and the guys were in touch constantly to keep me up to speed on the replacement.
Over and beyond what I’d hoped for and I’m a very impressed and happy customer – and have no hesitation in recommending these guys — or from buying from them again.
Thanks guys – seriously impressed. 🙂
Took a chance that this would work with a 2019 iMac, and am very pleased to say it works perfectly. Am very happy with the purchase. Slight criticism is that the cable could have been a bit longer so that i could have positioned the hub in the middle, but its a very slight grumble. Other than that, am very happy with it.
I asked other purchasers in the community before buying this as I wasn’t sure it could do want I want. ie use the ports for transferring large files from mobile h/d’s.
It does all this the same as the rear ports without problem and is much easier to access than fiddling about at the back of an iMac each time.
The SD reader is great as well. Much more accessible.
Nice colour too, Space Grey,but I may have to get an iMac Pro now for full colour integration.
Unlike a previous post it is VERY easy to install. Just look at the clamps and wheel before fitting and it is obvious.
5 stars. Highly recommended.

Bought this as a gift for my sister (Photographer) and the reach around the back approach to IO on the iMac is ridiculously stupid.
This hub is a must have if your an iMac user. The build quality also is second to none.
