Hey guys,
I've been searching the net, it seems MicroSD Card cases/holders/wallets are starting to appear, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of them..
The Pelican 0910 case was the one I was looking at right now, but I'm just looking around at this point to see what might work best.
Feedback desired ;-)

I have 2 8gb cards. One stays in the kaiser and the other in a very tiny usb adapter that stays on the keychain (a mobilemate micro) . My advice? Just get bigger cards so you dont need as many
where to find a really cool microSD card case/holder
I saw this link on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFzEuG3oM8s
the web address is www.sdcardholder.com , the thing is way cool, holds ten cards as well as an adaptor and is razor thin. I called the toll free number and the guy told me the first run was bought out completely by a company that is going to give them as swag at CES, they have more in production and will be selling on Amazon and ebay after the first of the year. I literally was searching for a year for something like this. The company says they will be $7.95 with free shipping in the US. Beats the crazy pricing I have seen for really crummy designs and most sellers try to rape you on the shipping.
Agree

I want one - that's a good bit of plastic... but not available in the UK yet
Oversized metal one from ebay it is.
Try this Card wallet:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_11000130_11000734&products_id=21956
Since I never try that before, but I using the phone case from this store, the qualities are really good, and the outlook looks very practical, but if more design or colors provided, It will be more attractive.
Hi all,
I have recieved my phone from mobiles.co.uk finaly who initially advertised the I9000 as the 16gb version... This is incorrect and have since changed their website to 8gb..
I have been in contact with mobiles.co.uk who have tried to send me an 8gb memory to make up the difference. Like probably most of us here we already have 8gb memory cards so this is useless but may be useful to you.
I would advise that anybody who has purchased the Samsung Galaxy S from mobiles.co.uk as the 16gb version, to double check and you'll probably find its the 8 and if you want to return it.. do so before the return policy runs out and goto vodaphone for the 16.
I am curious how many people they have done this too!!!
Hi, I bought mine from Mobiles.co.uk, and yes it was advertised as 16g, but it was also advertised as having an LED Flash at one point. But being realistic I never expected to get a 16G version since Vodafone announced a UK exclusive on it. Mobiles corrected this as soon as they got them. I didnt bother asking for an 8 gig card, as you say, we mostly already have them.
You are fully entitled to send it back, and get one from Vodafone, but it will be locked, and likely Vodafone branded with the red dog turd. So I'm happy with my 8G version, and its hardly a limitation given we can add another 32G in the SDHC slot.
I guess its a question of weither you feel cheated or hard done by, or weither you shrug it off as an easy oversight in today's world where a new gadget arrives every week.
Thats exactly it.. but would rather be given the choice than realise when its too late and cant send it back.. Vodafone offer it for £35pm and dont give the half price offer neither which would pay for the SD card..
Just a note to people... thats all.
guys do you know if this phone work on tmobile US? can I buy it off and get it send over to the us????
thanks
I recently bought a micro sdhc 32GB card, and I am having endless issues with it.
1. My HD2 won't allow me install apps on my card. Just always asks me to install in a different area.
2. It has once deleted everything off my card, and also deleted over 10GB of music while leaving everything else intact.
3. My HD2 will sometimes see it and sometimes not.
I have tried to sync music onto it from my laptop, I have used the USB connection and I have put it straight on using my SD card reader.
Does anyone know how to resolve this? I bought the HD2 because it was expandable up to 32GB and I didn't want to carry a phone and a ipod, and I didn't fancy a ipod.
Help please?
What card did you get, where from, and how much did you pay for it?
There are dozens of people on here who got ripped off and got fake 32GB cards, and this is the kind of thing that can happen with them.
I paid £30 off eBay it was from a power seller, but my PC reads it as 32GB and it also can put the 10GHosts of music on and see it. I haven't tried to read off my pc though.
Geeeez, sorry but it's DEFINITELY a fake! Did you reall think you would get a 32GB card for 30 bucks? You guys are making it really easy for those frauds on eBay. I mean, if it had been 100 I would have understand, but 30???
Yes, fake with no doubt, £100 is about the cheapest you can have (a real) one for.
Alright thanks. I thought it was good offer but I still went ahead as he had a 99% score on ebay. Oh well that's money down the drain. amazon for me now.
He scores 99% because he removes the item before people can give negative feedback. Correspondence about refunds and sending new items take time, before you know the item will be retracted. And a lot of people give pos. fb without having really put 32 gigs on their card, as it seems to be working at first.
Pretty much the formula is this..
ebay + shipped from hong kong = fake.
Its best to not even purchase memory cards from ebay. Find a reliable retailer in your country or region. Youll still get a good deal purchasing online, and it will be guaranteed to be legit. (with a warranty!)
Thanks guys I will get on to ebay see if I can get some money back, I have found a 16GB for the same price on a proper retail website.
Thanks again.
a 30pound 32gb card?
Maybe in 4 years
Btw... I have had good experiences with buying from Hong Kong too, but just not SD cards, other things like phone skins, car holders, etc. are ok, they're cheap and and you can't lose . Also you have a better chance of buying cheap but good items from Hong Kong when you buy from a seller's web site instead of eBay.
I found on eBay a listing from a fellow selling a 2GB MicroSD Card with GPS maps of the US and Android. The listing title is: "My micro sim sard to run GPS and ANDROID on HTC HD2".
My question is: does anyone think this is legit?
I am unsure how anyone could squeeze the entire US on a 2GB card as well as a functioning Android port for the HD2.
Is this guy selling snake-oil or is it just a copy of what's already available here at XDA?
Thanks for your looking into this. For $19 I am a bit skeptical.
i would think its possible, android install is a couple hundred megs and i think the map DB for a program like gamin mobile xt only uses about a gig. who knows what mapping software they are using, i just used garmin as an example
very possible. i have papago x5 and android on my 2gb micro sdhc. plus mp3s etc....
Not quite sure what you're getting at here.... but if you're thinking about buying that 2 GB microSD card it's hardly worth "$20" used. Closer to $1. Android builds are freely available here and i'm more than certain the GPS software and maps being offered were not legally acquired. If you're looking for some GPS maps and mapping software........
true that reagarding the price. It is possible to fit android and most gps software on a 2gb mc but I'll advise you ++ some money and get a bigger storage. better to have it and not need than to need it and not have it....just my 5 cent
for 30 bucks USD you can get a 16GB class 4.....
android is already free and if what you're really interested in is gps software legal copies are going to cost you a lot more than 20 bucks. ebay link maybe?

I am aware of the SD Card costs, I was not shopping for an SD Card. I was only wondering if this android he's selling is something that has been de-bugged further than what is offered here since my understanding is that it is still not 100% reliable. If I am wrong on this then please enlighten me as to which android build/hack will work best on a TMOUS HD2 and a Telstra HD2.
As for the GPS, he is stating on his ebay ad that the SD has all of the US maps on it thereby eliminating the need for a data plan to show maps. Whether it's pirated or not, I have no idea since I am not a GPS expert or know even if putting all those maps on a 2GB SD is even possible. I guess spending the $19.99 will be the only way to answer that.
Well as i have already suspected you are going to get ripped off 100%.
As i've already said android comes free of charge here on XDA and you can get it yourself over in the android forum. It's still not 100%. If you wanted a 100% working android you should of gotten a android phone to begin with. That's the hard truth unfortunately.
As far as the mapping software goes more than likely it will be an illegal copy for the asking price. If you're looking for GPS software "iGO Primo" is probably hands down one of the best software out there and most of what you'll find is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692181
It won't tell you how to get it... because well.. its pirated... but there plenty of hints within the thread as to where you can acquire all the files you need. Or just PM somebody in that thread
I think this is what the guys doing....
1. selling you the android already in the card (obvious). Which he probably got on XDA.
2. He not including any maps to any GPS. What he really means is that the Android build has working GPS. So, you can use google maps which is the already built in as a GPS mapping system.
I'm just saying. If I were a con, I'd word it like his ad. Cuz it makes you believe you're getting some sort of paid GPS software.
Edit: You mind posting the ebay ad on here so we can see what he's posting in the add. Wording is key! Oh, I promise not to buy or outbid you.

I think it's the European or EMEA version. What those holes are though, I don't know.
On this link, under Tech Specs, it also says microSD up to 32GB: http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2011/03/22/GALAXY-Tab-10.1

well if it somehow ever makes its way stateside and magically makes the current models vanish.....guess who is using their 3 year exchange plan with bestbuy
That's the pre production ver, the retail ver have the holes covered. Its just a screw on the prototype unit "unpolished". http://futurezone.at/mmedia/2011-05-13/2510_fz4.jpg
I belief samsung removed the micro sd since HC doesn't support it nativity and they can use that excuse to lower the cost of the tab. Anyway i hope i was wrong.
And the tech specs on that samsung site is out updated since march (still android 3.0), here's the new one http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/spec.html 3G no micro sd.
And here the http://www.samsung.com/us/microsite/galaxytab/index.html on the FAQ they say no SD slot i assume they meant micro sd slot. Since before they update to this page, on the comment lots of people ask about micro sd slot. Once page updated the FAQ say no sd slot.

Maybe, but in your pic there are no SIM slot either, so it doesn't confim nor disconfirm.
And on the link you provide below, which you say has the updated info, you can see the same two holes:

It says Android 3.0 on many websites, not unusual to find errors like that. That could go for the microSD part as well of course. My source is www.samsungmobilepress.com yours is samsung.com.
I'd say it's not definate either way.

If there are no microSD and THAT is the reason, then the devs are not too bright imo. There is a big difference in file transfer speed, wouldn't you say?
Yes, I totally agree with the speed difference. Also not good for those of us on capped 3G and also capped broadband services.
This was where I saw mention of the cloud service, it say's it unconfirmed but time will tell.

Device flex at 3:00 is insane, I think I'll just keep the transformer lol, that much flex is not worth the thin. If I accidentaly sit on it on the couch it's a 100% chance to break in half.

Its a old preview http://futurezone.at/produkte/3110-hands-on-mit-dem-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1.php#vor check the gallery it does have sim + micro sd. And for your pic yes there is 2 hold covered by a plastic like the retail one unlike the pototype ver no plastic covering the hole. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/kwan/b_image05.jpg
As for the samsungmobilepress its old march 22, 2011. The one on samsung.com is updated a week ago only, before its update giving info like the one in samsungmobilepress.com but now the info is change.
From the lastest press may 24th 2011 http://www.tabletd.com/uploads/711701471591368_0.jpg
over 10+ 10.1 tab on the floor only one got the micro sd but they type it out
http://www.thaiandroidphone.com/data/attachment/forum/201106/02/161843baz77qn78z7fyjq7.jpg I did talk to the employee and they are pretty sure the retail ver won't have micro sd that's why the have to type it out.
I preorder the 3G ver on the show and they say the earliest is june 30 but will prolly be out on july-aug. I know this suck I myself would love for it to have micro sd. Hope samsung will notice how important it is to have micro sd and do it right before they release it.
