Can't get CF Card card out...

So I can't get the CF Flash memory card out..when i put it in, i pushed it in normally..didn't force it or anything. Now, no matter what I do, it won't budge at all. The label on it is getting all tore up from trying. is there a trick or anything to get the card out that I'm missing?? Thanks in advance

There's a thin ledge behind the CF card. All you need is a strong fingernail to pry it out. You won't break it, so don't worry. The grooves should keep you from damaging the CFcard.

Yea apparently the little ledge on Magicstor cards are pretty much non-exsistant so I had to get a little knife in there & pry it up.

That's a bad design. I bought the Kingston 4GB CompactFlash Elite Pro Card from Dell's web site when they had a sale. I would recommend them the next time you're looking to get another CFflash card.
