LOL, I just bought 2 kingmax 16 gig class 6 card from them yesterday but it was $51 each. I saw that listing as well but I kind of shied away since it was a no name brand. Actually I don't know too much about kingmax either but I know a couple of people that bought that brand from that same seller from ebay and the cards have been working great so far.

I saw the kingmax and also some topram cards but I have never heard of either of them so I figured the no name brand would probably be just as good as those.

Well topram have been around for a while, I have used a few of them back in the minisd card days. I never really had to much luck with topram so I took my chances with kingmax, atleast they have a lifetime warranty, I think.

You said you haven't had much luck with TopRam. Can you explain in more detail? this is what I bought from Amazon.. a TopRam 16gb sdhc class4 with accessories.. any thoughts? http://www.amazon.com/TOPRAM-microSD...5279100&sr=8-3

Well, I have about 4 topram cards downstairs that have all failed on me. At some point all my files would simply just disappear. Again though this is with minisd cards when they were the in thing like 5 to 6 years ago. Basically, lets say I had a 2gig card with 1.2 gig worth of stuff on it, once it failed it will say that I have nothing on the card and only .8gig of space available. I tried formatting and that didn't seem to help the issue since it eventually came back, so I haven't bought a topram card since. But hey I wouldn't be to worried, I probably just had a bad batch of cards or something. I mean if they were that bad and had such a high failure rate in general, I doubt they would still be in business to this day right? So don't worry I am sure you will be just fine.

I don't plan on keeping my generic 5 or 6 years, lucky if it makes it 2 years before I upgrade either to 32gb or a new phone.

I haven't been using them that long, I just had them years ago and they all failed with in the first 2 months of me actually using them.
