I don't have personal experience with it, but I believe I've read lots of posts that Bank of America offers a good secured product.

BOFA has an excellent secured card, there's really zero downsides and it's one of the things BOFA does incredibly well, especially if you're consistently paying on time. Their checking account I'm particularly uamused by currently, but I've never, not once, had issue with the BOFA cards. It just works, completely hassle-free.
I'm personally a fan of secured cards from the bigger lenders: you get the exact same infrastructure that all the pretty FICO people get. All the ones that people regularly complain of here (i.e. Cap One) are probably worth skipping... though Orchard has the singular advantage that you can occasinally slip into an unsecured card, which I got from them and I could get from pretty much nobody else regardless of Cap One's pre-approval as an example.
I'd also recommend that if you have a relationship with a bank (the checking account you run your life through for example) see what they offer first and foremost. Never discount the common infrastructure making it easier for you to manage the multiple accounts. It's how I stumbled on the BOFA card in the first place, lucky me! Incidentally it also strengthens your case if you ever have to try playing the "customer loyalty" card.
Random notes:
CLI's on a secured card are nearly non-existent anyway unless you put more money down, the Cap One partially seucred card is no different than anyone else's in that regard.
USAA is likewise an excellent secured product with an upside: it costs less as they put your deposit in a real CD, and one downside: it does not graduate. If that second part is a concern, skip, if it's not, by all means use them they are excellent. In my case I wanted two secured cards, one I was going to try to get graduated and keep for a while, and one that I was going to kick to the curb in a year or two anyway... so USAA is a good fit for that one

One of the downsides to the card is it does report as a "secured card" on all CRA while it is in secured status.
Are there secured cards that don't? I sort of assumed that was the default drawback of all secured cards.
