Crack it open? If you break it, at least you'll have a bunch of perfectly good spare parts for the next one.
That price, while good, almost seems to be the norm for these cards now. Not long ago class 4 8gb Sandisk Ultra for $22 was a bargain, now I can find at least a couple of 8gb class 10's for around the $10 marker, and just picked up two class 10 Sandisk 16GB extreme III's for $24 each!
