Sandisk Extreme Poo cards.
New: 2 more of these cards are splitting open. The faceplate that says Sandisk on it is coming off of the card and jams in both cameras and readers. The faceplate is what captures the lock switch, so when it peeled back, the lock on one card fell out, fortunately not into a camera. Sandisk customer service, without even seeing the cards, said, "Normally this is considered to be physical damage due to mishandling which is not covered under SanDisk warranty." "Normally"? How often is this happening, and to how many users? I've never had a PNY or Transcend card come apart and they are going into and out of the same cameras and cases, and I've been using the other brands longer than Sandisk. Sandisk is supposed to be a top brand, but these cards just don't cut it. They should change the name to Extreme Poo.
Prior review. This is a downgrade from my prior 5 star review. While the card was working, it was great. However, while pulling it out of my Pelican card case, I noticed that the sd card's case was splitting open along the seam (sort of like a book opening). I was in the field and it was my last card, so I put a tiny amount of superglue on it and re-sealed the case. The card worked fine for another month or so, then failed - none of my cameras could see it, and it wasn't locked. I contacted Sandisk and they said that because I glued it back together, I voided the warranty. That really shouldn't matter, because glue or no glue, the case cracked open, and they claim these are super-durable. I've never had a Transcend or PNY card fail, so will be going with them in the future
