UPDATE:
I took a knife and cut away some of the plastic around the microSD slot. Now I have no problem. So far everything has been working great.
Hey, that doesn't look too bad.
so what exactly is the problem regarding getting the card out?? the area is too small to get your fingers in to remove it? i may have no problem as my fingers are small lol...but if thats really the only drawback, thats not exactly what i would call a nail-biter. hey also if u wouldnt midn taking a picture to point out the change u made that would be cool.
I wonder if it would be possable to mod this cart, with the following.
take the origianl filler cart, use something like a band saw or scroll saw, and cut just the front off of the cover. (you know the part that has the overlapping piece on it)
then take a grinder or sander and grind the front of the EZ4lite enought, so you can super glue or epoxy the front on it. That way it would blend in seemlessly with a ds lite?
if i had one, id try this. I have a shop full of tools.. )
"The EZ4Lite, which arrived today, is proving troublesome, but working on it. Its a bitch to fit the TF card in it, the case doesnt seem to close properly, it looks and feels very cheap. I won't be keeping hold of it, its definatly going to a mate now."
Does it feel cheap and brittle?

So it looks like I wasn't in too much of a "rush" when I was having issues removing my TF card. Looks like others have had this problem too.
The problem in my case was the TF card inserted goes past the plastic shell. The PCB of the actual cart was not flush - it was actually a little lower then the plastic of the shell. If you look at a EZ4 mini SD, the PCB of the cart is flush with the plastic housing, which made sliding out the media easy, regardless of the pressure needed to keep a grip on the tab of the media card. So with the EZ4 TF, when I tried to remove the TF card I would use my fingernail, but the pressure of pushing down on the TF card and trying to slide out the TF card would catch it on the high edge of the plastic shell.
I don't think the casing feels brittle. I think it feels cheaper then the EZ4 mini SD, but it gets the job done. I'm keeping mine. The G6 Lite looks interesting enough, but I don't care for 512 MB storage at all.
I'd strongly recommend anyone getting a EZ4 TF version that has problems removing the TF card to consider using a small nail file to bring down that high edge on the shell. It worked fine for me and the cart looks like it hasn't been modded at all.
Can you take a pic of how you files it? I'm having this prob too. some pics of where to file and how it looks would be awesome. thank you. Oh I have small fingers too and getting it out with your nails is hard. You have to give a little force with your fingers.

I have a question.
I just got mine today and it works great except for one problem: the saves aren't working.
The Saver file is on the MicroSD card, but when I go to save a game and turn my Lite off and then back on, it didn't save the game.
Any ideas what the problem could be?

It was pretty simple. I just used the flat side of the nail file to bring down the edge where the TF card goes in (marked with an elipse):
I probably filed it down no more then a mm or two. Its still a pain to wedge my gigantor fingers in the slot, but the TF card comes out easily now. I suppose I could widen the gap using the same method if my fingers get fatter
