No one can deny that although the format of the 'new' iMac may be more or less liked depending on the needs of the user in question, its design is very aesthetic and elegant but not for that reason functional.
As the owner of this particular model myself, I love it because it covers all my needs in terms of power and screen quality but everything collected in an all-in-one without having a tower in between to occupy me, however I miss more than once a better access to the rear usb ports since they are very hidden and sometimes it becomes cumbersome having to be 'tempting' from behind to connect a pendrive for example.
The concept of this adapter is really very, very simple, it is just a piece of molded polycarbonate so that it fits on the iMac screen and once it is attached, connect the extension cords to the back of the iMac so that we can have a USB 3.0 input and the mini-jack audio input from the front.
One of the features most emphasized by Snowmous, the developer of this adapter, is that it can be installed without no type of adhesive nor close so that no residue or marks will be left in case of removal.
The compatibility of this adapter is limited to latest iMac model only not being able to install it in any of the above, a shame because this way a lot of the market is closing and that with two different models this problem could have been solved although the previous iMac had better lateral access to the SD card port.

I have bought a male-female usb cable, and voila. I don't have the card reader, but for very little money I just put my hand behind the imac. Surely in dealextreme they have that cable for just a few euros. regards
I do not like. The accessory penalizes the design too much.
Hi, I can't find where to buy this snowmous usb adapter for Imac.
