Ray,I've lost CF cards but not SD. I think it's probably because I'm more careful with SD and always put them back in their boxes! <Smiles>

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. From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- Carol Pearson 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. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray's Home" <rays-home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Carol and others, this issue of the very smallness of SD cards cameupin the interview I did with the guy making the Vi-player who had sourced a plastic container attached to a lanyard to help people in situations who's handling ability was limited in holding and manipulating these postage stamp sized cards. If I can find out if these card holders can be bought separatetlyonthe net I'll let the list know. I'd end by saying that, if anything, where gripping and manoeuvringisnot an issue, SD cards are maybe a bit easier to insert than, say,CFcards, and no danger of multiple pins within host devices getting bent. Cheers,getting bent. From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- Carol Pearson They are pretty small and flimsey, to be honest, though verydurable.I guess, if you could ensure you have a table, so you have plenty of surface space should you drop the card, you may manage and then find youdon'tneed the table; but I wouldn't like to say for certain without havingseenyour difficulties first-hand. Don't you have anyone who has one to show you, or a shop nearby that might help? Failing this, I could find one tosendto you as a trial if you like. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Hi all, Sorry for the cross posting, but I'm thinking of buying an SD cardfor myBrailleNote mPower so that I can store Keysoft upgrades. However,besidesthe point, since I have some physical disabilities, cerebral palsyto beprecise, that causes fine motor skill issues, how difficult aretheytoinsert into one of these for me? This is the main reason why I wasput offbuying these because, by the sound of it, they're so small that Iamathigh risk of dropping or even losing them. Thanks in advance.
