Yes it was an issue with CF card removal not SD card removal. SD card slots have always been spring loaded back to the days Palm had them in their older PDAs. CF cards are far harder to remove is there is not a ledge to assist with their removal. The micro drives talked about on this site are an example. I have a Seagate 8gb CF micro drive and it is very hard to get out. I have not put tape on my drive as some others have suggested here but remove my SD card and use my finger nails on my thumb and middle finger to act as a plyers to pull slowly unil it comes out. I put my ring finger over the CF slot stopping the drive from being flug out as it releases from its pin connection.
