Has anybody actually tested these cards to see if they work or not?

Thank you, HSM for your great question! In fact, the FIPS-201 certification indicates they DO work for the presecribed frequencies (13.56 MHz and 860-980 MHz), the frequencies associated with RFID. These are the frequencies used in contactless payment cards, the ones you will get from your financial institution. Some ID badges use proximity scanning technologies that APPEAR to be RFID, but with frequencies the sleeves do not shield. As we indicate in many of our reviews from customers with the same question: "We know the sleeves provide great protection while cards are carried in them. You can test them yourself by leaving the cards IN the sleeves when making a payment, for example. The transaction should fail. Remove the card and try again. The transaction should go through. Easy! This would also work with your passports and passport cards as you approach a border crossing. Your passport will be undetectable until you remove it from the jacket. We understand your apprehension about Identity Theft while you are traveling. We appreciate the fact you took this measure to add another effective but very simple layer of protection to the personal data you will be carrying with you while away from home. We do, however, stress to all our customers the fact that ID Theft can occur anywhere; and in seconds! We strongly recommend carrying your cards in the sleeves on a daily basis." Many of our customers have performed these tests and were able to convince themselves the sleeves DO provide the protection we promise. Just one example:

I have my credit cards in the sleeves I bought..... have no idea whether or not they work because I do not know if anyone has tried to access the information. But...hopefully the sleeves work. I will only know if they do not work if someone accesses the information while the card is in the sleeve. And I sure hope this does not happen.

I have not had a problem like. Mine work fine. Could it be a defective card?

I've never heard of this problem with _genuine_ Samsung cards (4pda.ru forum statistics).

I cannot answer these questions. My son informed me that his card NEVER worked correctly and I wish he told me that sooner.

Daniel, I purchased this card more than a year ago. Every year I had to purchase a new one and they always worked. I am not sure about the newer version as I do not purchase these cards anymore.

I am wondering the same now.. No wonder I have never been able to get it to work on my computer. Lately can't get my camera to even recognize the card. I had to go purchase a new card

Look at the manufacturer website, it's very specific about compatibility with cards and devices.

I have purchased many cards over the last several years and have never had a bad card. Most of my cards are SanDisk. I also have Transcend and Kingston.

Cards need to be formatted using FAT16 or FAT32. If that's the case, then I'm not sure, you might try their customer support.

It has been functioning fine in my Y510p for the past month since I updated the firmware to 1.7. They say any firmware older than 1.7 has a bug that will eventually make the card fail and be unrecognized by any PC.

I believe so but I would try to get the extreme one that's is going to be fast. Also make sure you reformat the card in the contour before use so it works properly.

I have no idea. The ones that I bought have worked and I have had no problems.

not sure, but check the side of your machine to see if there is a slot for cards.

I would love to help you with this question. But the people on Amazon I bought mine from sent me broke cards and refused to refund or replace them. So I have no idea what they are compatible with.

Mine works perfectly. I cut through 2" of card stock yesterday, so very likely yes.

What do you mean by work well, Robert?If they are compatible (which this SD card is) then it works.You only need to be concerned of the speed of the card as a slow card tend to crawl when viewing.
