helps stop lost memory cards

(5 out of 5) by J. W. Dietrich on Feb 18, 2009
wife had those plastic cases for the memory card and a clip that held it on the camera carrying strap... anyone seen a memory card laying around somewhere in Florida?... Well this case fits into a pocket with the memory cards inside, so no lost cards anymore. But it does holds everything kind of lose, so need to be careful when unziping it so everything doesn't fall out. Can hold a mix of batteries and cards with plastic card cases, but with batteries it's kind of a tight fit. Would be better to put batteries and cards across from each other instead as shown in the picture, with batteries on top. Card against card and batteries against batteries instead of batteries against cards. Pulling the red "flag" up seems to help hold things in place better. But the point of this carring case is it's suppose to take up minimum space and still have extra batteries and cards without losing them. It works.

Handy

this case is small enough to easily fit in your camera bag and holds a lot to keep things organized. the red flags to show used stuff is an awesome feature

A very practical and versatile solution to battery storage

This is one of those products that when you get it, see its features and actually use it, you think "This is just a really good product!".

I have a Canon Rebel XSi/450D DSLR Camera and a Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash so I needed battery storage for both the camera batteries and AA batteries for the flash. I can fit eight SANYO eneloop AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries in the two pockets on the left side and two Canon LP-E5 Battery Packs with their protective covers in the two pockets on the right side. Everything is held in securely. In addition, the fold-over red flags are a really great idea to indicate which batteries have been used.

I keep this wallet in one of the outside pockets of my Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG for easy access. It fits perfectly. The Tamrac S.A.S. MXS5363 Compact Filter Case fits perfectly in the other outside pocket. For a long shoot where you might have to change your batteries, you could also use the velco and snap strap on the back to put it on your belt.

I haven't yet found a use for the full-length sleeve that's behind the two right pockets but I guess that you could put a couple of SD memory cards in there. This wallet is probably also good for storing the larger Compact Flash memory cards, but the XSi uses SD memory cards and it's pretty big to use just for storing these. I use the Velbon DMSP-SD4 Plastic Case for SD Memory Cards which can store four SD cards in less than half the space of this wallet.

It's well made with a sturdy zipper and durable nylon fabric so I think that this wallet will last a long time.

Good wallet

Quality pouch

(5 out of 5) by HJN on Nov 5, 2008 (USA)
Purchased this for a recent travel to Asia to hold two sets of 4 rechargeable AAs and two CF cards. I was even able to stick two extra Canon 30D batteries between the batteries and the CF cards. It's a little tight but it zips just fine.

The material is very good quality
