Memory cards cases and holders store your memory cards in the safest way possible. Not only are they all together in a neat and tidy place, but many of them also offer other great advantages, being shock, water and dust proof.
Some of the items on our list come with carabiners or clips, allowing you to ensure they stay attached to you or your bag for easy access. Have a look to see which is the best fit for yourself, and your camera system.

pin it!
Right now I have my sd cards taped to an index card with date/event info. Neither pen nor sharpie work on SD cards and even if they did I shoot too much to find specific days. Guess I’ll just buy a 4×6 photo pocket album until someone comes up with a better solution.
Excellent article! I don’t like any of these options and in fairness, I still haven’t seen a SD card case that I do like…
one important thing i have noticed with SD card holders; unless the scooped out area for your finger to get the SD cards out is not deep enough or too tight the card ends up being pulled apart at the seams over time. Had this happen on 2 cards. The cards are so small and somewhat flexible they split after trying to dig them out. The cards were secure and would not fall out, but you dont want to damage them getting them out.
