    Default My big fingers HAD a hard time removing Memory Card -- SO I

    I have always had a hard time time gripping the memory card to pull it out.
    SO, today I took some Duct Tape and placed it on the end thereby extending the card.
    Super easy to get out now......Click image for larger version.

    Good thinking. Sounds much better than the pliers I've been using. I have to have a very light grip to remove my card with them, and so far it's worked fine. But now I'm going to give the tape a try. Thanks for the idea.

    I've done that with mine for a while now but I use blue and white masking tape - this allows me to both have an easy grip and to ID which card is which

    Sounds like a CarveWright Wish List item. Make the card a little longer so guys can grab it a little easier.

    I can pull 'em out with my right hand but not the left. My friend Tony used pliers. All five of his cards have nasty dents but they all still work.

    Same problem here too, wish they would redesign it so it was spring loaded, like the memory card in my camera....push it in and releases and pushes itself out where you can grip it better.

    If they made an adapter for the CW to accept SD cards, we wouldn't need the usb card reader. Well, most of us with newer computers probably wouldn't.
