Poor low capacity fakes well covered in the recent Fake Britain programme on BBC 1

Most of the really cheap ebay ones are fake, by which I mean every one I bought, they all turned out to be 2gb cards. Buy a branded one.

As I keep telling you... Buy cheap do not expect the best

Buy at a reasonable price and you only need to buy once

You can buy cheap and be assured of the products, try Ebuyer. They often have daily deals that are really good, bought my last two micro sd cards from them, Branded.

Have been using them for years, and when things do go wrong, they are great at returns.

Worth a look on their site OP.

Just picked up a SanDisk class 10 micro SDXC with a whopping 128gb for my newly acquired Samsung S5 at the bargain price of £60 via Flubit.

Cannot wait to load it up

Even the apparently branded ones are faked - a well known name on the front is meaningless now. Certain branded sellers have stopped selling on Ebay because of this.

Looks like ebuyer is the best option then. I used them when I was in the PC trade, they were cheaper the the trade distys for many things, and a lot more efficient.

The difference is whatever brand of card you buy , you really need to buy from a well known retailer. that way idf it is fake then you can swiftly return it. For me its the seller who is the most important thing.

Watch out on Amazon , often you don't buy from Amazon , you are actually buying from a dodgy reseller using Amazon exactly as people use E-Bay
Items stocked and shipped by amazon are a better bet tna most 'reseller' items.

This catches a lot of folk out who think otherwise

Also give 7dayshop a try Link Whilst it's mostly camera based, memory cards are of course compatible with many devices.

Even their 'own brand' stuff is usually a rebranded 'big name'. And I've always found them very reasonable.
