idk if i may have got lucky with a nice shell mold on my ez4 lite...but i can pretty easily snag the TF card with my fingernail and pull it out without having to open the case or shave down the plastic. the first ez4 lite i received, though, was a b*tch to get the TF card out (got a second one b/c the first was faulty and sent it back to winsunx).
