All the comments are fun and games but they could've used aluminium which is way cheaper. It's nothing more than a marketing gimmick.

Isn't there a danger of someone shorting data to voltage by inserting this thing wrongly?
Also a good way to wear down your SD port if you remove this with any regularity.
Cool
Why tho
People will pay more money for premium.
But yeah environmentally this is a damn good idea. We should make everything out of metal.
sounds pretty metal
Personally, id choose them over plastic ones if not just to save plastic
doesn't metal manufacturing use quite a lot more energy?
But it has the benefit of not breaking down into micro plastics and getting into every part of everyone.

Cause it's metal.

Maybe extreme weather conditions for trail cams? That's the only reason I would think about using one but never actually buy one for lol.

I feel like dealing with SD cards' inevitable demise is more important than armoring them. What good is a stainless SD card that no longer functions after 2 years of use?
What good is a stainless SD card
Better thermal conductivity and in turn dissipation than plastic does tend to longer lasting flash chips, how much this change means in real world practice though remains to be seen
Heat is a flash storage killer of all kinds
It's hard to believe that it would have taken 25 years for the many SD card builders out there to figure out that a heat spreader could solve the degradation problems.
Why would they want to solve an issue that causes you to need a new product from them
