LOL ... You will always find *something* to fuss over, won't you? ;-)

Specifications for these kinds of things always have an allowable  
range of variation. .2mm (~ .008 inch) is not unheard of for this  
kind of device as a sensible range.

Just for amusement, I pulled out the Sandisk Ultra II and Transcend  
150x cards, measured them with a caliper. They are identical in every  
dimension. That seems to indicate that Lexar's die is on the narrow  
side of the SD card specification range compared to the Sandisk/ 
Transcend dies.
