What is the best way to remove SM cards from the MemPlug module?

I'm really have a hard time trying to remove my SM card from the MemPlug. It looks like it is gonna break. Any ideas on how to remove the card painless.

Thanx

Al

I don't have problem to pull SM out from MemPlug. What is up?

that is an odd question. Why not wear a rubber glove for more of a grip? Mine comes out just fine.

You are right guys. The problems was that I had never used SM cards before and believe me they look like they are going to break in half. I was really careful at the begining but now I just pull it with my fingers and it goes out. I guess for new users it takes a few days to get used to it.

I'm having so much fun with PiDirect Reg version.

Ever since I removed a label from mine (It was gonna come off anyways) it seems to be really hard to remove, most likely to remnants of the adhesive. I just use my teath.

I am seriously considering buying a Memplug so am not familiar with it, yet. But on my Digital Camera, though, you push the SM card in and it has a spring or something that kicks it out almost halfway. I guess from the last few posts the Memplug doesn't have this "feature". Maybe something for PI to think about?

I have a olympus d490 and it doesnt have that spring feature you talk about. Any dig camera I had always was the same as the memplug thing. Plus if there is something like that im sure it would add more bulk to the memplug.
