what di you use for your sd-cards?

 

for the cf cards I use a thinktank pocket rocket, which is brilliant, but too large for sd-cards

 

I own a gepe cards safe, which is nice, but still a bit too big.

 

I need space for 4 cards

Actually I just throw them into my little Billingham

i use the plastic holders they come in and i too just throw them in the billi..used cards go in the back zippered pocket so i don't format and re-use them:)

Well, yes, it is a good idea to keep them in their little antistatic boxes, and to separate used and unused. I have made it a habit to lock full cards as they come out of the camera.

Stephan, here are two quick pictures of mine. Unfortunately they bear no name but I think I bought them from 7DAYSHOP.COM. If you look at that site you will see a wide selection, some in aluminum cases; most are very cheap but functional. I find a case for four cards more than adequate for most jobs. On tour I keep more cards in their plastic cases and transfer the ones I need to this case. When used, I lock them and invert them for easy identification.

I bought a little card wallet from e-bay, holds about eight cards, fastens with velcro, cost 99 pence, including postage.

 

No doubt some Italian dude makes a leather "Leica" card wallet for about 100 euro.

now I remember, I bought one of those for CF cards from 7dayshop a couple of years ago. that was the cheapest place to buy film (remember film?) at the beginning of the millennium....

Think Tank makes a 'pee wee ppr' which is perfect for a few cards.

I use the gepe card safe. cards are numbered 1-4 and when they come out of the camera I put them back in the card safe back to front so that I know that they are used. When I upload to the computerIalways leave them as is until I'm ready to use them again so that if Ilose images off the pc before I back up then I have the images still on the card. I format a card as I put it in the camera.

 

Sounds complicated but an easy workflow and the card safe really adds a level of security.

We follow a similar procedure except that I make a practice of backing up downloaded pictures to an external hard drive BEFORE I reformat my card in camera. I prefer to do this sooner rather than later because if a few days elapse, it is easy to forget which pictures are already within the computer system.

Got loads of free Sandisk neoprene type holders that came with the cards I've bought.
