Anyone tried one from this seller? Too good to be true at £28?

Just bought one last week from ErwinComp, put it in my Tilt2 Friday PM. Works just fine.
wow...i hope this thread takes off, as i will be following this one intently...i hope it's true...i have just about maxed my 16gb kingston with music and i want to add movies...
i read somewhere that the 32gb would not work, so i hope that statement can be disproved...

I notice that Erwincomp are around the $150 mark, whereas the eBay seller was around $40. Must the eBay ones (there's more than one) be a complete fake??
the british listings wont ship to america but theres alot from china (charinging in aud $) that ship to america. i bought one for about $26 (usd). ill let you know if its the real deal.
yall are very braves souls...im too scared to try a cheap-o card...
well, they are labeled as sandisk cards, which are not cheap-o. they are the inventors of transflash which is the first name of microsd. ebay canceled my purchase saying its probably someone who just wants my money and wont give me the storage card. paypal contacted my bank and told them not to move any money. its no loss i guess but i was looking forward to finally having a 32gb card even though i most likely would have never gotten it. i had skipped buying a 16gb card hoping soon a 32gb card would come out and i waited forever and 8gb isnt doing it. i got the 8gb card free with my touch pro. will i ever have a 32gb card?
I just tried my luck on one of these and it was a mistake:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230496569920
The card looked fine, so I copied about 16Gb of data to it (on a Windows machine). When I put the card into the phone most of the files weren't visible. I then put the card back into the PC and they were invisible there as well.
Looks like these are fakes - oh well, let's see how I get on getting a refund....
i did buy one. ebay had canceled the account and bid but payment still went through. apparently it was shipped but i checked the tracking information and it hasnt moved in quite a while so i might just give up. if it comes in, ill let you know if its legit or not. you might want to try reformatting the card. there was a nice hp tool that does it properly. i reformat all new cards, it saves from having problems in the long run.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml try that.
eBay seller smithadamsmith has Verizon branded sealed Sandisk 32GB microSDHC's (the only sane way to buy any right now) for $105 shipped 2 day UPS.
Mine works great in my Tilt 2, speed class 2 not as underspec'd as their 16GB cards, but plenty fast enough for 1.87GB Avatar movies and running Android 2.2 off card directly.
yeah its horrible. my pics and vids were saved to storage card. almost every time i tried to save a video or take a pic it would freeze up. it was a no name so i cant speak for the sandisk but im assuming its speed class is just too low
Does anyone know of any good deals for 32Gb cards delivered to the UK? The best I can find is Sandisks on Amazon for £81.
The eBay seller I mentioned above ships internationally.
http://imgur.com/Yoatf&5DBj8 it arrived! and it works. i bought it on ebay, ebay canceled my bid, killed the auction and the seller. but i was charged and it was shipped. 2 and a half weeks later, here it is. it needed a formatting and i tried letting windows do it but i ended up resorting to the hp usb disk wipey tool thingy. but after that it worked perfectly. i was going to just dump my old card on to the new one but i actually went through and deleted old and duplicate cabs, backups, and other crap and got it down from 7.5gb to 2.5gb so i have almost 30gb free.
one thing gives me wonders. the auction and packaging says its a class 2 but the card says class 4. im not really worried though cause it works.

Have you checked that it will take 30Gb of data?
yep. i tried loading a bunch of topgears on it. but i had to stop because it was taking a while and the space never seems to run out. but if i ever have 2 days solid to watch top gear on my phone. ^_^
Filling the card reveals the TRUE capacity of cheap Chinese cards, which too often will register as claimed capacity, UNTIL their actual capacity reached shows deceitful trick with far less available.
I found that I could copy files onto my eBay card without any problems, and the card registered the disk space being used. When I removed the card and re-inserted it most of the files were gone however (although the folders were still there).
I tried reformatting the card but got exactly the same result.
Has anyone tried any of the generic 32 GB cards from ebay? I was looking into getting one.
I bought this one...more of a trusted source

i spent the cash and got the confidence of buying legit, $95 for a Lexar 32 GB class 10 card with USB adapter. worth it

I just bought the same one! You can get 10 dollars off (to make it $39.99) if you buy it with a new account. Use the promo code NEWCUSTOMER10. You have to add something small to the order to get it over 50. I went to Newegg gear and added a Newegg wristband, as it was the cheapest item with free shipping.
I wouldn't buy any cards off Ebay. There's as much incentive to sell rigged cards as there is demand for high capacity. My roommate just bought a 32 GB off Ebay and he got lucky. Make sure that the seller offers returns and when you get it immediately run h2testw.
I just have one question for the OP..
Are you feelin lucky?
SD card prices are a RIP OFF!! am i the only one that thinks that?

My wife and I picked up Patriot sd's from Micro Center... I think they were $39 they work pretty awesome. Price wasnt bad at all compared to online prices. it seems like it is luck of the draw on the Generic ebay ones so we stayed away from those.
Fakes are extremely common for flash memory on ebay, especially on any kind of "OMG WHAT A DEAL!" type of things. The fakes are usually a 2GB card that's had a 3 painted on it in front of the 2, and hacked firmware to make it appear to be 32. But when you try to fill it, it won't let you, because it's still just a 2GB card.
Basically, if it's substantially below the going rate from reputable sources (looks to be roughly $60-80), you're going against probably 80-90% odds that you'll get a fake.
I made the mistake of buying one and I can put 32 gb worth in info on there but when I put it in the phone it can't access it.
I wouldn't buy from anyone but a trusted source and right now I wouldn't buy one for less than about $50.00.
In a year or two they'll be going for $25.00, but right now anything that cheap is bound to be a fake that doesn't actually hold anywhere near 32GB.

true story
16gb class 10 (14.8 formatted)- ~$35
32gb class 10 (formatted size unknown)- ~$82
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004H8FTCK
i bought the 16gb c10 and it shipped fast and works perfectly for me. it is a real card, not a rip off too. sdtools (i think its called) for android said it has a r=10-12.5mb/s w=20-25mb/s or something in that range (been a while since i uninstalled the app). never had a problem and i highly recommend it, the 16gb one atleast since thats the only one i can speak for.
Patriot class 6 32gb micro SD card from Fry's for $69 about 3 months ago.
It's legit, not like the fakes on Ebay. Google it. You will find out the truth. Even if you pay near to the going price, you run the risk of getting a fake. IMHO, it's just not worth the hassle.
Got one it works pretty good..

I got burned a few months ago for 25 bucks by a Chinese seller on eBay. I nought a 32 gig but it was actually a 512 that would rewrite over itself to make it seem like a 32gig

thanks for the info. wow. just ran this tool on my phone. 12.7 BM/s writing and 19.7 MB/s reading. Very nice. :-D however, on issue is why on earth would it need to know our GPS? *uninstalling*
I got one off Ebay for $39.99 and its totally legit. I got lucky I guess... this time.
Got to be careful with SD cards on eBay. I got a fake. I tested it with a program called htest or something like that. Seller did refund my money before I sent back the cards which was quite nice of him. I ended up biting the bullet and bought 2 from best buy.

Use Amazon. Make sure Amazon is the seller and not a 3rd party.
Do anything else on Amazon or eBay and you are rolling the dice.
I agree, I buy all my SD cards from Amazon and they are cheaper too

3rdparty?
Amazon has some pretty good deals on SanDisk SD Cards right now, this link http://goo.gl/7CCb0z will take you to an Amazon page where I've already filtered by brand (SanDisk) and seller (Amazon)

Not everything you buy on Amazon.com is sold by Amazon.com.
Many items are sold by other people just using the Amazon.com website. It's all perfectly normal for all products. But for SD cards there is a VERY HIGH rate of forgery when using 3rd party sellers (not Amazon). So it's best to avoid them. IT's not worth the extra $1 you might save.
Just make sure the seller is actually Amazon.
For anything else on Amazon, go with the cheapest seller. But for SD cards? Never use a 3rd party seller
So, about a week ago, I lost my SIM tray to my OnePlus One somehow. I was wondering if anyone who uses the NANO-sim adapter could possibly send one my way (I am willing to pay if it isn't much)
(Yes I'm aware of the link for parts replacements, but I simply can't afford those exorbitant shipping prices, also Ali express has slow shipping)
An alternative would be to go get a nano-SIM from your provider. They should (typically) give swap out your SIM for you for free. Just a thought.
So, I'm looking at the wallet cases, not sure if I am going to buy one, but one trend I'm noticing. If the idea is the carry less and have your cards in the wallet with the device, why do so many of these only allow for 2 cards and cash? I don't understand who only carries 2 cards. On any given day I have to have the following:
Driver's License
Credit cards (sometimes 3-4)
Debit card (which I don't count in with my credit cards, because it's used a lot more frequently than with my credit cards, depending on what I'm buying and what kind of protection and where I'm going to use the card, is whether I use debit or credit card)
NYCID (which is different than driver's license because it gives me discounts at various places in NYC)
Insurance card (you know, because well, ouch can happen) Okay, just checked, this can possibly be avoided being carried as I can use the insurance app that has the card picture on it. Although, for whatever reason, doctor's offices seem to have never heard of electronic cards and always want to "xerox" the card.
Work ID (to, well, get into work)
Transit credit card (which allows me to recharge my Metrocard)
Metrocard (although, this can't really count as it's wafer-thin)
So, all told, I'm looking at about 7 cards in my wallet PLUS cash
WHO carries 2 cards and cash? Who are these "wallet cases" made for exactly?

they sent me a 15% off code so that brings the price down to $34.00 with free shipping.
what color do you recommend? I was looking at the gold one but don't know if that's too ghetto/bling?
Anyone seen the official samsung wallet cases that have an LED display when closed? Really kind of cool looking:
http://www.mobilefun.com/60889/samsung/galaxy-s8-plus/cases/wallet.htm (scroll about 5 cases down for the various colors)
Want to see a REALLY BAD name for a component on an otherwise okay wallet case:
http://www.cm4.com/shop/p-120-galaxy-s8-wallet-case-q-card-case-for-galaxy-s8-s8-plus.aspx
Seriously, they use the term "Natural Throw Buttons" to describe the buttons that overlay the actual device buttons through the case. I'm guessing they let the guy who failed ESL name the feature THAT day.

So, I put this case from their site in the cart and didn't buy it. It's $39.99 on their site, Amazon is selling them for $16.99 and yet because I didn't buy it yesterday, their site sent me a 10% off code. I sent them an email asking if they'd do a pricematch with Amazon for the price because why would I pay ~$35 if I can get it using prime from Amazon for ~$17?
