Hi, I've found four 32GB Sd cards:-
1. Sandisk memory card Class-10
2. Sandisk memory card Class-4
3. Transcend memory card Class-4 (Height 15mm)
4. Strontium memory card Class-10 (Height-11mm)

Q1. Which one should I buy? (i.e. the best one)
Q2. Also, is there any "Height" issue (...if I bought a misfit sd card)?
Q3. Will it be compatible with my Galaxy Fit?

(For the 1st time I'm buying them online, so I'm xtremely worried!!)

Pls. help!!

1. The more the class,the better will be its r/w speed..so go for the class 10 only.
I have no idea whether strontium one is better or sandisk, but latter sounds a trustworthy brand.

2.Please make sure you're buying a Micro SD card
All micro sd have same dimensions : 15mm(Length) x 11mm(Width) x 1mm(Height).
And looks like this -

Not this -


3.Yeah,fit supports upto 32GB.

Standard shops will give you MRP price( without or less discount) while shops selling electronic products in bulk(mostly smartphones/mobiles) sell at muh lower price. You will get a price nearer to what you saw on the internet...PLUS they dont know the basic diff of class of sd cards you can easily snatch u want to buy..

My point was with online stores u have to be cautious otherwise there is no problem..:D

Be cautious about the site from you are buying from they can be fake or cheap duplicate ones from china....

I saw some are coloured. I looked for sandisk class 10. It was class 10 but nowhere written on the card(only coloured card with "Sandisk" written). I don't wanna get fooled with the fake one.
