Yes, the SD card slot is unfortunately bit too deep in complete unit (in acrylic it is a lot easier to access). That's mainly thanks to the brass columns that hold the case together, plus the additional 1.6mm of the enclosure... It was not feasible to have two versions of the board to make them fit both versions perfectly. The slot mechanism cannot be any closer to the edge as then the card will stick out too far in acrylic version, plus there are traces in the way that need to go around the edge and nowhere else (analog ground, bias and signal lines for right mic).
Tweezers are handy but I also used a door key with success when I was out in the forest and needed to swap cards (by the way, door key is such a versatile tool, you can use it instead of a coin for supermarket shopping trolleys!) If you hold the case it upside down, chance is the card will be ejected out by the spring mechanism, and if not, gentle knock will help Or a less gentle knock. No worries, the device is sturdy enough. I've dropped mine on tiled floor and nothing happened.
I have a halfway done "sync" app that will allow download the files via USB so you won't need to take the card out too often. Also upload new samples, once that's supported. But the card was mainly meant to be a "temp" space for recorded material. The capability to mangle recordings or use them as a background in some of the meditative channels is in the progress too.
But enough with the promises, here is something new for you guys to try. After you put the SD card in Gecho and power it on at least once, there will be file "update.htm" created. Open it in your browser and follow the instructions - hope that works!
