    Looking for a micro sd for my phone, about £17 for a 16gb on amazon.

    Anybody see anything better value? May get a 32gb if cheap, but the seem v pricey from what i've seen!

    Had a look there, but $26 seems to be the cheapest, which is much the same price as amazon!

    I'm always a bit cautious of stuff from China, possibly fake

    yeah not all that comfortable with it myself, but have never done it before... he seems to have good feedback in general... think i might chance it!

    32Gb for 14 quid?? It might be 32 printed outside but inside won't store more than maybe 4. I'd personally stick to 16's from a trusted shop.

    I got pretty much the same back when I tested my card :mad:, how did you go about getting the refund? Did you contact Ebay or the supplier directly?

    I just emailed the guy and sent him the report from the test. He contacted me and asked if I would like a refund or a replacement sent. I opted for the refund and he refunded immediately. I see others have had refunds too from his feedback.

    Yeah my friend got one and it had similar errors. It's amazing that he's still selling them, surely it's a lot of hassle to be sending them and issuing everybody with refunds!
