Yes. In fact, I had one SD card where the sliding switch fell out--
and I subsequently lost it, making the card `permanently write-protected'.

But I replaced the missing slider with a bit of tape, just like we
used to do with VHS cassettes..., and guess what? It was writable again
(though, mind you: it was somewhat harder to layer the tape into that
space on the SD card that it ever was to tape over the write-protect
hole on VHS cassettes...).
