While it is true that the “SD” cards I’ve bought recently have actually been
µSD cards with an adaptor so they can also fit into SD slots, it didn’t sound
like that was what Chuck was asking.
I have not seen an adaptor which will plug into a µSD slot and then allow me to
plug my (visible-size) SD card into the adaptor. I do totally agree that both
the adaptor and the medium would be big enough to see in that case and that
would be a good thing! However I have seen applications for a µSD card that
would not mechanically work with the adaptor in question, due to packaging
constraints, so I would not expect that adaptor (if it exists) to be a common
item.
