Carol, I've done some Googling on SD card holders and haven't come up
with much yet. Will say though that this sort of thing might crop up
in phone and in-car accessories, or that's the impression I've drawn
from preliminary searching. Makes sense too, as dropping an SD card
whilst on the move could be a problem with parallels to our own
situation.
I hope an enterprising dealer will see this thread and do some
research of their own. Just might be worth contacting Hagger and one
or two other dealers selling portable players and the like to see what
they come up with. Must say that, as a fairly soon to be owner of an
SD card player, I'd by maybe a handful of these things which make
these tiny SD cards easier to find around the house, and especially
out and about.

Thanks, Ray, for your thoughts. I'm no expert but would have thought
there's really a bit more to hold with the CF; but perhaps that is
counterbalanced by the fact that the SD card is less likely to suffer
if not
placed absolutely correctly to start with.
Anyway, I hope, Chris, that you find a solution and it all works well
for
you.
