If you always find that SD cards are super fragile, probably due to your work nature or just simply being too careless, Sony might have the answer for you with the new SF-G TOUGH series SD card. They claim these SD cards would be super tough for various situations.

Sony SF-G TOUGH Series

• World’s toughest SD card is 18x bend proof (180N) and drop proof (5m for 72hours)
• World’s first one-piece moulding structure for strength and hardness
• Ribless and switchless design ensures there are no fragile components
• World’s fastest read speed – up to 300MB/s and write speed – up to 299MB/s
• Waterproof and dustproof world-class ratings of IPX8 and IP6X respectively
• Keep your work safe with the SD Scan Utility and File Rescue Software

They even got to the extent to remove the lock switch altogether to make sure there are no fragile components on it. I do know there are some users out there still uses the switch to prevent accidental overwrites, however, the number is negligible as far as I know. Besides, you just can’t believe how horrible it is if the SD card with a broken switch got stuck in the SD card slot.
