If its from the front of the case, you can get this

How exactly do you connect a flash drive to a phone?

?? USB 3.0 is backwards compatible. Plug it into USB 2.0 device and it will just slow down to USB 2.0 speeds. There's no reason for it not to work if a previous USB 2.0 flash drive worked.

I have a adapter that goes into the lightning port and i plug the usb 2.0 into it. When i plug a 3.0 into a adapter i get a notification saying 2.0 is the only compatible USB. I guess apple or a third party is yet to make a adapter for 3.0

strange, it really shouldn't care and just work at the slower USB 2.0 speeds. Though maybe they rigged it like that on purpose to force you to buy a 3.0 adaptor in the future.

Someone if trying to rip you off, you don't need USB 3.0 to USB 2.0. They are all backwards compatible down to USB 1.1 . The issue is if the USB device needs more power than what a USB 2.0 port can provide, than it won't work. USB 3.0 can provide 500mv where as USB 2.0 only supplies 250mv max. Some little external hard drives that run off 1 USB 3.0 port needs 2x USB 2.0 ports to run otherwise not enough power (or external power adapter).
