SD readers for phones and best....

[growalot]

SD for trail cams...I have San Disk and Kodak...with the both going bad but the SD was older and a 4 not 10...Kodak was a few months old...I see card reader adapters for my phone are pretty reasonable....Also has Amazon address the San disk counterfeit SD card issue yet or am I seeing old news?

I have never had a SD card go bad . I didn't know they could . I prefer the 4GB card for the trail cams and have a lot of them . The Brands I have been using are SanDisk , Kingston and LEXAR .

I looked on EBAY for some cheap cards and bought a pack of 10 4GB  Cards for $20 with free shipping . Each card has a plastic case . The brand is ADATA . They are SDHC  class4 cards . So far , no problem . After I bought these my daughter gave me 4 SanDisk cards for Christmas . 

 

I also bought a card reader for the phone on EBAY . It has the plug for my Samsung phone , 3 usb ports and couple of SD ports and 2 mini card ports . It was pretty inexpensive but works fine . The thing I don't like about the phone card reader is .... I can open each picture but have to close to see the next one instead of swiping the phone screen and being able to go to the next picture . Pretty much of a pain .

Does the phone reader allow a mass transfer and then you can swipe through the pics?

I don't know . No instructions for the reader and I don't want to load up my phone with the pictures . I don't remember how much memory the phone card has . I guess I should try it out sometime with a SD card from one of my CANON cameras .

I just use my phone, I get micro SDs and they come with the adapter to fit a full size SD slot. My phone takes a micro SD so I just pull my card out of my phone and plop in the micro from the cam. Then if I have a pic I want to keep on my phone I just email it to myself. I can delete the pics, zoom everything from my phone.

I too have been thinking about getting a phone reader , can you delete pics from phone ? For the money they are way cheaper then the readers you buy from sporting goods store.

I have an Otter Box protective case . There is no way I am going to take that off to check out micro SD cards or have micro SD acrds for all of my cameras .

Mirco sd's are a plain. Like you said...after you remove the otter box, and sometimes the back of the phone case if the card is located inside it really isn't worth it...card reader for the phone or tablet is way better.
