Ok, it sounds obscure but this is an actual problem. I have a Bitfenix Shinobi case, which is great, and the front panel USB is connected to the Mobo by the 20 pin header which works fine. However....

I bought a Bitfenix card reader for the machine (in matches the outisde!) and that, too, uses the 20 pin header. My mobo and my son's for that matter which he bought a few weeks ago, only has one 20 pin header!

So, is there an adaptor out there which would allow me to connect both my front panel USB sockets and my card reader?

Thanks for any help.
 
Thanks, Danny, but I looked at these are they are to convert the USB 3.o header to USB connectors and not the other way round.

Thanks, Walder, I see that OCUK do a USB 3.0 card that does the same thing and have a 20 pin connector on board so this seems like the way to go with the bonus that the ports on the card are powered so are good for things that draw power - like charging phones for example.
