Storage for SD cards

Has anyone found a good storage system for SD cards? When I’m out shooting I carry a small Gepe box that holds three cards. Three Gepe Card Safes carry enough for holiday use, but the latter are bulky and heavy for their limited capacity, being sized for CF cards. Ideally, I’d like to find some sort of portable box or card wallet that would hold a dozen SD cards while taking up less space in my hand luggage.

 

When ‘back at base’, SD cards tend to get lost around my office. Their life expectancy seems as short as that of officers on the Western Front in 1914-18. So I’d also like to find some sort of desktop storage box that would hold those not in immediate use, plus all the smaller-capacity ones I’ve acquired over the last decade. No longer in regular use, the latter are handy to have around when I just want to take a few pics or try out a new lens.

 

With the M8, a 2Gb card is usually enough for a day's shooting, but when I go the M9 route it will be time to move to 4Gb cards, and I'll need some way of storing the surviving 2Gb cards.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Best regards

I stuff all my cards into one of those tiny zippered thingies made from neoprene that some vendors sell with their SD cards. When I’m changing cards I just put the other card in the coin pocket of my five pocket jeans (and no, I’ve never lost a card that way).

It looks ideal to use when travelling. However, a quick search of the WWW has not turned up a UK dealer who stocks these.

B & H in New York should ship to you.

Have you done a Pelican Case search?

Also the Pelican SD cases are on Ebay

I stumbled across a good solution when I purchased a Lowepro Stealth 100 bag to house

a small kit. Included was a nylon case to hold 12 cards. It holds compact flash cards

"raw" and the sd cards in the small plastic protectors they usually come in. I wanted

another one, found out they were not a separate product so I contacted Lowepro's excellent

customer service. They sold me one for about $20. I now have four.
