Digital Camera Memory Card - card case, memory card wallet


I have had this case for over a year, and have enough SD cards to fill all 8 slots. It does a good job of protecting the cards once I have closed the case. The problem is that when I open the case, the cards fall out of their spaces. I'm not an overly violent or strong person, and I don't feel that I am being too rough with it. I just have to be very careful when, where and how I open it. Lowepro PixelPak V1 Accessory Case (Silver)

I would not recommend this case. While it has a hard shell, the disks come loose and jostle around inside. The hard rubber is too hard to hold onto the disks. If they had used soft rubber or even a pill pack type material it would have been better. This is going back to amazon. So what if the cards are protected from external forces if they are subject to internal ones that can be as bad.

This case is very strong, very solid. The eight SD cards are held in place by a rubber insert. No problems with them coming out or getting crushed. The case is only slightly smaller than my Palm TX so don't think you are going to carry them together, but if you are like me and have several games plus several memory cards, this is definately the way to go.

This case is a good way to loose an expensive 32GB SD card! Recently took this on a trip and was sitting in business class, so plenty or room, yet upon opening the case every card inside fell out. One of the cards got stuck in a crevice and was ruined upon pulling it out (doesn't work anymore). It was class 10 too. So bad luck or whatever, cards should not be falling out of the case when you open it. The whole point is to keep cards secure, isn't it?



This problem also ruins this case from being any kind of organizer. If you were thinking (as I did) you would put cards in order so that you remember which card has what content on it, forget that. Since the cards don't stay in the slots, all order will be mixed up.



Lowepro, a trusted name in camera equipment/accessories, failed pretty bad with this. Avoid and find a better product.

This is great. It comes ready to hold 8 SD Cards. You can fit 4 on each side of the case. In place of SD Cards you can put picture xD cards (like in the photo), but I don't have any of those. Under each SD card you can fit a miniSD card. I only have 1 microSD to mini adapter, but it fits. I was also able to put 5 microSD cards under a SD card, but there is nothing to hold them from sliding around, but it works and the SD card hold them from falling out. I think six would fit, but I only have 5, that means you could fit like 24 microSD cards under the 4 SD slots, x 2 if you use both sides. My problem is I have 10 SD cards. There also included is another rubber insert. You can pull either of the two SD inserts out and stick this one in. It was meant to hold a PCMCIA size card for a notebook. I don't have one of those, but was able to place either 2 CF cards or 1 CF card and 4 SD cards, or 8 SD cards (double stacked) and my microSD to USB adapter in this space. Again they are loose and can slide around some, but it functions. You just need to be careful when opening using this way so your cards to not fall all on the floor, but this is easy too. One side is black, the bottom, and the top is silver/aluminum. Just place the black side down on desk, then open and the loose cards will not fall out. If you really wanted too you could pull the rubber insert completely out, I was able to fit 6 SD cards flat that way and then stack 'em 3 high so 18 could be fit in the space, I just wanted too see if it could be done, I don;t have that many but I do have enough to have to use the PCMCIA size insert on one side and a 4 SD insert on the other. I do not mind too much, I could leave 2 SD cards behind but its nice to have my whole collection. You can only fit the loose cards on one side, otherwise they would fall out when opening. Now when I travel I can carry all my media cards for my cell phones and my digital camera, plus media adapters in case I need them and they will all be in one place and not easily lost in some pocket somewhere or the bottom of the suitcase. The color is nice, in this case it matches my Centro which is black and silver. It is about the same size, same thickness, a little shorter and a little wider but it looks like it came with the phone.

LIKES: Well-made, hard shell case keeps small memory cards from getting lost

DISLIKES: Rubber inserts are size-specific to mini-cards and will not accomodate larger SD cards. I had to remove the rubber molding and just lay my SDs loose in the case. I would have preferred that the rubber slots offer more size variety so that cards could be held stationery.

This is an okay case. I ordered this and the Pelican version at the same time. This case latches, but is easily/accidentally unlatched. It is loose when closed, gaps around the rim where it should be flush. The product description says it has a "translucent" bottom case, so that you can put your business card there, have it be visible. It is possible to place a business card between the liner and the case, but the plastic is smokey dark, only translucent if you shine a bright light thru it. I put a card there, it is unreadable, and barely even noticeable. The product description should be corrected. It was on sale for about 7 bucks, and it will get some use, maybe for storing extra cards at home. But for travel and weather and usage in the go-bag, the pelican version is the one I will use. - Sd Case - Digital Camera Memory Card - Memory Card Wallet - Card Case'
