Yeah they are soldered on and so far every N-Card/N-Card clone had glued together shells. Some of the cheaper clones were easier to pull part. Though I will say the ExpressCard shells are held together almost as well as retail shells. But I'm sure you shouldn't have to worry too much about that. It appears they might actually be some type of super cap as they are not diode protected and the voltage goes up when the card is powered up so they seem to be rechargeable. Just having the card used in a console for a few hours a month is probably enough to keep them from going bad if you plan to not use them very often.
