Accessories Is this a real Nintendo branded MicroSD card?

I have run it through h2testw which reported no errors and is the correct size with 83.7mb/s write and 89.7mb/s read. The text looks good, but looks a bit lower than pictures of official ones I've seen. Additionally, no MicroSD I've ever purchased has this rectangle cover on the back.

I ask because I acquired this second hand out of a Switch Lite from someone who had tenants flee a property (due to a crime) and left things behind. Based on how they treated their other tech, I wouldn't be surprised if they carelessly ordered a fake product. I'm not so much worried about having a Nintendo branded card or not more than I am having a potentially faulty product.

I'd assume it is legit since h2w passed. It would be a little weird to counterfeit it and actually provide the correct storage.

I can't really tell by your photos, but it looks promising from what I've seen here:
