I received my replacement yesterday and the shell looks thicker than my old one that messed up. It also appears to be coated because I can't remove it from sd card slot on switch. I have to use a tweezer but I'm not going to take it out any more.It works perfectly. The outer shell of the microSD is poor quality and can wear and tear faster than other SD card brands. So I wont remove it from my console unless I really don't have any choice.
