For the life of me, I have not come up with a sane solution for this issue. On my 2013 MacBook Air, It keeps hitting the lock switch when I insert an SD card. MicroSD cards are often used by myself and my team, and put into card bigger card readers for consumption. I don't care too much for regular sd cards, but I acquire media in the field ALOT, and need to get quick access to pics and vids for editing on the go. I don't want to purchase a USB SD Card reader. Does anyone have a sane solution or experience addressing the issue?

It sounds stupid, but scotch tape on the lock switch really helps. It was my 'fix' when one of my readers had a broken lock detector arm, and read all cards as locked even if they weren't. The scotch tape on the card fixed it :)

  It does not sound stupid. It's the standard thing to do. Here you really need to have a thin tape, Scotch cellotape is fine. In other places, the good old duct tape saves you. (We actually call it "Jesus tape" here, because it saves people.)
