This item is very compact, practical, and durable. The strap for attaching it makes is safe from loss. It is exactly what I was looking for.

The Best Compact Flash Storage

(5 out of 5) by T. Hoover on Aug 27, 2008 (VA USA)
. I currently own 10 compact flash cards (I shoot very large files or Raw). The Pocket Rocket works great for trips and on the job. It is not bulky so it does not take up space. But it is not so small it gets lost - the security leash works on a belt loop or can be secured to your camera or camera bag. The business card holder is an added bonus. This unassuming product is brilliant.

great CF card wallet

(4 out of 5) by D. McKinstry on Jun 15, 2009
This is a great card wallet, holds a ton of cards, but doesn't take up much space in your bag. The attached strap keeps it secure, and there's a slot for your business cards. The velcro can make it a little noisy if you need to change cards in a quiet setting (ie in a church during a wedding ceremony). Otherwise, love it!

Perfect!

(5 out of 5) by PicOlio on May 29, 2009 (Franktown, CO USA)
What can I say? This is the best card holder I've ever seen/used! It holds more cards than most, is compact, durable, easy to use, and holds more cards than others I've seen and used. The clear plastic covering over the cards also makes it easy to know which card is where. I place empty cards right side up and full cards backwards and upside down so I can just open the case and grab what I need with no confusion. It's perfect, easy to work with, holds plenty of cards, attaches easily to just about any camera case or a belt buckle etc. Love it! ThinkTank items are always top notch!

Great product, could be improved slightly

I bought this to manage 9 CF cards that I use when shooting weddings or other events. Previously I was keeping them in the plastic cases they come with and had a couple of small holders which only held 2 cards each. I was sticking the full cards in my pocket and was always paranoid I was going to lose them. My requirements were to have a small wallet which could hold 10 or more cards but not be so bulky that it couldn't fit in my pocket. This meets all those requirements and is very well built, but there are a couple of concerns/problems I have.

The potential loss of data is not something that can be tolerated when shooting a client's event, there's no re-shoot for a wedding. This wallet (and I think most others) require you to put the cards in bare without the plastic case. This makes me a little nervous that dust or debris might get inside the cards and make them unreadable. I have found that not dealing with the plastic cases has the advantage that there's less fumbling around with cards when switching. This means there's less of a chance of dropping a card which can also cause data loss. Having the wallet hold the cards with plastic cases would make it very bulky as well.

The main shortcoming with this product that I don't think I would have even noticed without researching some of the other offerings is that there's no way to mark full cards as used. The Tamrac bags have a red flagging system that can be used to mark used cards and batteries. Something like this would be very useful in the Think Tank product. Another problem for me is the velcro closure. It's just too loud to open during a quiet wedding ceremony in a church.

All that being said, I'm very happy with the product and would buy it again. I don't see any other products on the market that can meet my needs any better, and if Think Tank introduces a new product with the features I think are missing, I'd surely pick one up.
