| I just got my 76csx and it's good stuff--better reception than my
well-worn 76cs. While I'm happy about the expandable memory, the cards
are the size of smashed peas. Has anyone heard anything about cases for
these cards?

They don't come with a case? That's pretty tacky, probably would have
added about 5 cents to the price of the unit.
Sandisk is selling a microSD card that comes with an microSD to SD
adapter. The microSD slides into the adapter and then it can be used in
any SD slot. If you had one of those, you could use SD card storage cases.
Have you noticed that there are no burners on the market yet for microSD
cards either? Nor are there any computers with built in slots for
microSD cards.

Maybe that's why they include the SD adapter with the microSD cards?

| I just bought a couple of SanDisk microSD.
They came with the SD adapter in a case that
had a place for the adapter and the card.
Why they did just use an SD case ... ?

I think the adapter is so the microSD card can be used in the widely
used and available SD readers/burners that are already on the market. I
don't think there is are a lot of microSD CARD reader/burners on the
market yet. But I/O Gear has a nice pocket sized one for USB:
