Lowepro Pixelpak memory cards compact flash sd cards @ photographygadgets.com photo gadgetsIf you are like me, your memory cards lead a hard live. They’ve been sat on, washed in the laundry, lost, broken and had to endure much abuse. That is, until I discovered memory card holders.

The one featured here is the Lowepro Pixelpak. It’s small and compact, but can still hold 8 SD cards. One of the insets can be taken out, so you have space for a PCMCIA card adaptor or business cards. It protects cards from moisture and shock. It is made from plastic, but the cover is brushed aluminum, so you can find it easier in dimly lit places.

Size: 3.9W X 0.6D X 2.6H inches
Weight: 0.2lbs

Added bonus tip: Insert the cards with their label facing up before taking off on a field trip. When changing cards in the field, put the used cards back into the case with the label facing down. This way, you will always know which cards were used and which ones are still available for use.

Price:
Holder for 8 SD cards: $19.99, Amazon: $11.49
Holder for 4 Compact Flash cards: B&H Photo: $19.99
