Memory cards are apparently quite durable

I’ve learned through experience that memory cards are more durable than they seem. I have both SD and SDHC cards, and both have held up perfectly to:

• being dropped
• being stepped on
• a run through the washer — complete with detergent!
• a run through the dryer — on high heat!
• rattling around in my wallet with coins
• being chewed on by a teething baby

Of course, don’t let my lucky experiences with mishandled memory cards leave you lax in how you handle your memory cards. It’s probably just a stroke of luck that my memory cards made it through unscathed; yours may not be so lucky!
