[Removing SD card from Flirc case with Raspberry pi 3]

Thanks.  2mm pads on their way ...

Thanks for the reply.  I found a place online that sells 1mm pads; however, it seems that the supplied pad is already 1.4mm, so maybe a 2mm pad is in order?

Also, if the glued side really should be towards the case, then perhaps the FAQ needs tweaking:

Q9:  How do I attach the Thermal Pad?

A9:  No right answer here. Remove the thermal tape plastic pieces and apply to the case's heat slug. That's it. You can also apply it to the chip, either one is fine.

I agree that the thermal pad is easy to tear (mine is in 3 pieces), and there should be a way to get a new one.  Does the FLIRC staff read these posts?  (They don't seem to answer the phone at 11:30AM on a weekday.)
