Haven't bought any of those micro-SD cards for that very reason. I don't
trust them to stay securely in the adapter.

I had my own little panic last week.
I was serving as a host for the local shelter for homeless families in
a local church. Usually, I am quite busy for the first hour or two,
until the young children go to be. Then I have a few hours to kill.
I decided to bring my computer, so I could work on the images I had
taken earlier at the induction of a new member in our Rotary Club. I
wanted to get a few hots ready for the weekly eBulletin. I didn't
want to bring my camera, however, as the guests are usually sensitive
about photos being taken of them and their children in the shelter.
So I opened my camera and removed the secure data card, placing it in
my pocket. Later, I pulled out the card and received an unpleasant
surprise. what I had in my pocket was the adapter for the micro card;
the micro card itself was missing.
I searched my pocket, the hall, the driveway, and my car without luck.
I cut my knuckles reaching under the car seats to see if I could feel
the little sucker, but no joy. I gave up for the time being, but when
I got home, I decided to try again. This time, I grabbed the
spotlight I use when I take the dog out late at night. Shining it
between the seat, I spotted a tiny reflection. The micro card had
lodged itself half way between the seat and the floor by clinging to
some sort of little tag. I barely managed to squeeze my hand far
enough to knock it to the floor, so I could stick my hand under the
seat again and finally retrieve the little chip.
I had never dreamed that the tiny micro chip could get dislodged so
easily from the adapter. I shall be more careful with it in the
future.
