[GeoStL] Re: 60 CSx Question

Don't worry about going all out to protect the card. Storing it in the case
like Steve said is more than enough to keep the card and data safe. For
about 2 years now I have had a Kingston microSD card taped to my dogtags. I
had a SD card taped to them for several years before I made the switch to
the micro. As long as you keep the terminals clean from residue (painters
tape works well for this) and keep the media from bending, the card and data
will last. -ryan

 Mark,

I've swapped without trouble.  Caches, etc are stored in memory and not on
the card.  I've not gone through the trouble of protecting my card that
much.  I put it back in it's case and it's in my backpack.  It doesn't get
wet but it's not overly protected.
