Carol and others, this issue of the very smallness of SD cards came up
in 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 separatetly on
the net I'll let the list know.
I'd end by saying that, if anything, where gripping and manoeuvring is
not an issue, SD cards are maybe a bit easier to insert than, say, CF
cards, and no danger of multiple pins within host devices getting
bent.
Cheers,getting bent.

They are pretty small and flimsey, to be honest, though very durable.
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 you don't
need
the table; but I wouldn't like to say for certain without having seen
your
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 to send
to
you as a trial if you like.
