The design on the slot/cards prevents you inserting the card badly so I have to chalk this up to poor manufacture. I've no idea whether it was a one-off but I'll be sticking to Sandisk in the future.

On the subject of counterfeit Sandisk cards there are some interesting images on this thread:

The forgers are certainly giving people a difficult job spotting their contemptable products.
Thanks for the heads-up on that! When I buy equipment online I never go for company own brands. I prefer to spend a little bit more and get named but even then it can't be guaranteed that what is beign bought is genuine!
