SD card case for nerdy guy with too many cards

December 23, 2006 3:51 AM

I need a small case for carrying SD cards on my keychain. Suggestions?

The smallest Pelican case I can find on Ebay is too big. My present case is the iPorter, which is...kinda flimsy and shaped like a tiny digital camera. I carry 5 or 6 cards at a time; I used to carry them in my wallet and they got damaged sometimes. Why do I carry so much data? very nerdy? maybe.

Use one of the keychain holders for a listerine pocket pack:

I think they still sell them. This may work.

strangelove, how are those keychain holders? They're just pocketpaks, as far as I can see.

If you can live with one that only holds 4, how about this one?

SSF, sorry wrong link. Either way, I cannot find an image.
The pocket pack keychain holder is a bonus, and I believe you can still purchase it.
A nice little case for a SD card.

if you needed just two, i highly recommend the jimi. (although if you got the regular wallet with the SD clip, you could probably just slide a couple more in the other side...they wouldn't be secured but they would still be protected) I use one as my regular wallet and I'll never go back. :)

I got this soft sided holder when I purchased the Extreme III 1GB CF pictured. It holds two CF or SD plastic cases (as in image #4). Each plastic SD case will actually hold two SD cards if you first carefully cut out the stanchions that hold the card off the bottom of the case. Note I leave the pieces that surround the card in place, I just remove the teeny little offsets that go under the card. I figure that because the top of the SD case doesn't provide any relief the bottom of the case doesn't need to either.

A pair of the holders would allow you to carry 8 cards.
