Storage Cases For SXS Cards at DVinfo.net

I accidentally threw out one of my cases. I didn't know it was under the packaging. Anyway, I'd like to get a case that I can put all my cards in. Used on one side. Unused on the other, sort of thing. I've searched internet, Adorama and B&H here in New York. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have 10 cards and would also like to find a case as you described. For now I am using a small clear zippered cosmetic bag.

I am going to try the Pelican 1020 Micro Case until I find something better.

well in the old days I'd tell you to go out and get a can of prince albert in the can
and toss the insides, paint the can to the color you want and off you go...

but as you have discovered, there are no cases, so I'd just get the wife to wip out
the sewing machine and make me a nice one... :-)

Go low tech..

Small Pelican case. Dust-proof, waterproof, $15. Turn the used ones upside down. I keep my palm-pilot and cell phone in one when I SCUBA dive. Works like a charm and cheap.

Something I did notice today. The Expresscard in the case is EXACTLY as long as a DVCAM case is wide. That might offer some other ideas...

I keep them in a zipped compartment in my camera case (Petrol), but a flat insert to hold the cards in an organised way would be handy.
