The design is an absolute shocker of the Flirc case for the RP 3 you have to pull the case apart to remove the card now I see people say use some tape no that's not the answer this is one of the more expensive cases for the unit and this is such a sloppy mistake why should people have to use tape and other items that should have be tested by the muppets that built the unit.

Hi,

Flirc Raspberry Pi Case has been created for Raspberry Pi B+. Because the board layout of Raspberry Pi 2 and now Raspberry Pi 3 didn't changed much the case has still the same design. I don't know why Raspberry Pi Foundation changed the MicroSD card slot to non-springy one (probably to cut costs), but Flirc doesn't have anything to do with that change. Also Raspberry Pi Foundation doesn't ask case manufacturers what they think of the change.

The tape solution is the easiest one - you just need a little bit of tape to stick out of the case enough to be able to grab it with fingers. You can also use tweezers to grab the card. Also there's a third solution: you can always mod the case yourself by removing a little bit of plastic below the card slot until you are able to pull the card with just your fingernail.
