Don't be an idiot like I was.
Before you buy any micro SD cards on eBay, make sure the seller is *not* listed on this website:
http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/
In fact, if any mods are listening, could you please pin this thread? I know some of the forums for other devices have threads on this subject, but if they sink, nobody will get the warning.
Thanks.
or you could just avoid buying flash from ebay all together.
Whatever works.
I was wandering around my hometown yesterday pricing 16GB cards. The cheapest price in a shop was EU80 -- nearly $100.
I believe there are reputable sellers on ebay selling for less than half that.

I got my 16gb card for 2.50$
That's great, but be careful. The biggest scam out there is 2 and 4gb cards programmed to look like 16gb to your operating system. The only way to test them is with a free utility called h2testw.
Hopefully your card is a good one. Mine turned out to be 2gb.

There are a lot of Kingston 32GB microsd cards being sold out of the US via Ebay for $199+, and they're all fake. Only Sandisk have released the 32GB versions.
Be warned..
For those in the US, just buy from Newegg. I got 3 16 GB microSD cards for $41 apiece.
you can also tell by filling up the card
if it doesn't go past 2gb, it's not a 16gb card

Newegg was selling Fake Intel processors only a few weeks back. No one can be trusted
Amazon for flash
I prefer to buy from Amazon as they tend to shift the fake sellers off the marketplace quickly.. just bought a 16gb micro for £21.00

5 week delivery though verb i have just checked my 16gb from ebay and it was fake paypal claim gone in cheers op
Better to wait...
I've not touched eBay memory cards since I bought a Sony from a 'trusted' seller. Turned out to be a cheap knock off. I had my money back in a day after suggesting to the seller that I'd be contacting Sony's fraud investigations team if I didn't get prompt action.
Then I contacted them anyway

They "Weren't just Selling them".
Their supplier sent them a batch of fake CPUs. Once new-egg discovered the error, they refunded money and offered discounts and also dropped the supplier.
It was clearly an accident.

wth. You sound like you work for a certain political spin machine.
Clearly, anyone with half a brain, can see that Newegg expediently rectified the situation. If anything, this situation with the bunk processors would put Newegg in an even more trustworthy position than they were prior to this unfortunate incident.
i recommend newegg we have 4 a-data 16gb class 6 cards from them.. work great.. stay away from 16gb sandisk cards.. i have had 5 failures with these (their 8gb cards work fine though)

I bought two Sandisk 16gb Class 6 cards for £40 each from a Asian in Canada. When I received, I benchmarked them & found that they didn't even perform at a class 2 level.
I put on a claim on ebay & contacted seller. The seller said that there are alot of fakes on ebay & that I has sold thousand in his store without any complaints. I got a full refund.
I bought a Genuine Team 16GB Microsd Class 6 from another seller ebay id: taiwanlien. I have benchmarked it and everything.
If anybody does want to buy memory from ebay buy it from this seller taiwanlien.
Thanks

Hey guys it's my first post in this 4rum.
Since I just got my G2 2 days ago and currently look for some accessories, I just came across this and thought I would have share for anyone that is interested.
This is a Black Friday deal for Sandisk MicroSDHC 32GB.
EDIT: Since I'm new I can't post the link but you can always go to Sandisk website and look in there.
Price: $62.99 with free shipping
Apply promo code SDTHANKS10 for an additional 10% off.
Final cost: $56.69
Was debating between a 16GB class 10 and this but in the end couldn't resist the price and made the jump, hopefully it's a good purchase.
Nice find. Thank you.
Thats a good price...to bad US site wont ship to Canada where they are selling them for 203.99!!!! WTF!! Someone should tell them that the dollars are almost equal now. lol
During checkout I noticed that it said the item wasn't in stock? Anyone think I shouldn't go through with it.

i got a 32gb but android can read it.....
Hmm, I went ahead and placed the order, backorder be damned.
I've emailed customer service to see if they have any idea when it'll be back in stock, and will gladly update this thread when (and if) I hear anything substantive :]
Thanks for pointing out the deal, OP!
I bought this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WGJYCY/ref=oss_product
When it was $77 shipped ..I see the price has been jacked up to $79 shipped but still a good deal.
Its a class 2, but from the reviews its actually rated around class 4..and I have used mine, its not slow or anything.

Should be the same one I ordered from SanDisk, but buying directly from retailer website so the risk of getting a fake one is minimal. Anyway I heard SanDisk never make a 32GB Class 4, it should be Class 2.
For anyone with the backorder status. I contacted SanDisk and the rep said that my item will be shipped on the 13th, so it takes about 3 weeks to get here but well for the price guess I can't really complain.
Thanks for the update, iTravis-- the 13th will be a fine day :]
As regards the Class 2/Class 4 issue, I remember reading on these and other boards that Class ratings aren't always super reliable (especially between separate brands, although to some degree within the same manufacturer as well).
I'm blanking on the exact post, or I'd link the thread. In either case, let's hope our cards pull some Class 9 billion speeds on us, right?
I did read those threads and that's why I decided to get the 32GB instead of the 16GB class 10, for the price you can't beat it anyway . I guess we'll be fine if just use for apps and music.
Look what just popped up in my email:

Ha, you paid more than I did. LOL Well, got tracking number and it will be here by next Thursday. Price went back up to $199.99 on Sandisk website so this is definitely worth the wait.
Some people say they got a class 4 from Sandisk, I'll just keep my finger crossed.
I'm not trying to thread Jack so OP please forgive me...but for my few and fellow Canadians...newegg canada has wintec 16GB class 10 cards for 35 I believe it was. I bought 3 of em.
ALSO regarding shipping from USA...if you don't mind crossing the border to pick up parcels from cross border mail services, just call your credit card company and ask them to add and authorize the US parcel service company address as a secondary billing address. Then you can order from the USA to the parcel company's address if the retailer has to match your credit card billing address with the shipping address!

Hey guys, I searched but didn't see this in the Epic forums. Wanted to get it posted asap because it made the front page of slickdeals not too long ago so it could sell out before long.
Amazon has a 32gb Lexar Class 10 microSD with a card reader for $47 and free shipping. It is sold by Tiger Direct through Amazon. Alternatively, you can go straight to Tiger Direct's website to purchase it for the same price.
*** 11/11/11 Update - Deal is dead through Amazon currently but I checked the Tiger Direct link and it still has the $47.99 price.
*** 12/16/11 Update - Amazon currently has this for $40.77 with Prime Eligibility and Tiger Direct has it for $69.99 - $30.00 Instant Savings = $39.99. Shipping shows up at $2.70 for me bringing the total to $42.69 through TD (YMMV).

Great Deal...Just Got Mine!! Different Brand,etc. For 41 plus tax, sold out quick.
Hard to Get Deals, if you Find One, Dont Hesitate...
Great deal, just bought a Class 4 Sandisk 32GB recently for like $36 so this is priced about right
And I assume from the response that the Epic will recognize and fully utilize a 32 GB card?

Isn't the read/write speed on these phones capped, so would it even really make a difference if I got the Class 4 vs the Class 10. No point in spending another $11 if I don't have to.
I've got my eye on a Patriot and a PNY 32gb for about the same price, just caught up in which brand has a better reputation.

I heard that too but I wonder how capped, I'm gonna possibly review my card tonight from my laptop's reader and mounted through the phone and see if there's a speed difference

I've bought memory sticks from both and haven't had any of them die. Both are great.
32 GB cards
Are these cards coming down in price finally. I looked a while back and they were 100 or more. Also are these the true 32 gig cards(been burned a few times from ebay, even a local seller). I want to find one of these to go along with my extended battery(take that Iphone.)

I have as well, and both make reliable devices. I'm leaning towards the Patriot because all my Patriot USB drives are blazing fast, whereas my PNY drives are just eh on speed.
Thanks for posting.

Has anyone used this card for a decently long time? Interested to know if it spontaneously corrupted or not
Deal is back and better than it was previously. 7 bucks cheaper I think.
I bought this card when I posted the OP and have been using it ever since. I have had no problems with it at all and I'm thinking I might get another one for my Nook Color.
If there's a speed difference on the laptop that makes backing up your SD way less painfully long.
Read the reviews in the Amazon link? A few people complained of corruption and dead cards within weeks or months of purchase. This worries me a bit.
Post up any Skyrocket accessories or Android app deals in this thread over the Thanksgiving holiday week.
I'll get it started with an "okay" deal.

Write speed was 11.2 MB/s according to AnTuTu. Or 6.2 MB/s faster than my Class 4 Sandisk. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I hope it lasts a long time.

Best place to buy Micro SD cards is Amazon (and I mean Amazon itself), there's no questions if there's an issue.
Watch out for the regular lightning sales.

Just Read the reviews and looks all bad. Might be junk like the other member on forum said.
I would never buy memory cards on ebay. I always buy on Amazon and make sure it's sold by amazon too... lots of fakes floating on there too if you're not careful who's selling it.
Thanks for the heads up, loving my Tab s 10.5 any case or cover you recommend. Thanks again

Don't buy that crap! I bought some cheap SD card from ebay 64GB for like £5 the Read/Write speeds are terrible and the card stopped working after a week! Go with a decent brand such as SanDisk.
I took the plunge before reading this and the reviews for those crappy cards on Amazon. I got a 128GB card for about $15 and it sucks. It shows it's 128GB but when I write anything over about 10 GB's to it the card becomes corrupt and unreadable. I then have to format it in order to use it again.
I'm currently using a 64GB I had laying around (SanDisk). It works great but I may jump on a 128 GB card if/when the price for them drops. A 64 GB card costs 1/4 of the price of a 128 GB card.
That's how they do it

That's because it's actually about an 8-10 GB card that has a label on it saying 128 GB - and a firmware that was hacked to report itself as a 128 GB card. There's tons of those on eBay - don't buy memory cards from eBay! Like everybody says...stick with Amazon. In Western Canada, Memory Express is also fantastic!
Just bought a 32gb card on newegg for 13.99 shipped
Late post, but Adorama and Amazon had the 128gb for $89.99. Amazon still has it for the next 17m.
