Best memory card cases: 6 options reviewed and rated

October 30, 2015Digital Camera World

Looking for a compact, convenient memory card case that’ll keep your cards protected and your kit bag tidy. We put six great options to the test.

Best card case: 01 Delkin SD Memory Tote

Price: 8/$10 – www.delkin.com
The Delkin’s hard outer shell gives great protection to eight SD cards stored in easily accessible individual slots. These could do with being slightly tighter, though, as cards can work loose.

Score: 4/5

Best card case: 02 Hama Outdoor Memory Card Case

Price: £13 – www.hama.com
It’s tough and compact, but Hama’s strange internal design means cards are stored on one side behind an awkward panel. There’s room for five SD cards, but they don’t get individual slots.

Score: 2/5

Best card case: 03 HPRC 1300

Price: £23/$26 – www.plaber.com
Your cards will be invincible in this impact, water and dust-resistant case. Inside, you can fit four CF, SD and Memory Stick cards in rubber mouldings, but these are too tight, so access is slow.

Score: 3/5

Best card case: 04 LensCoat Memory Wallet Combo 66

Price: £18/$20 – www.lenscoat.com
Don’t fancy a bulky hard case? This wallet design is easily pocketable, yet you can stash six CF cards and another six SD cards. The only downside is the time needed to roll it closed.

Score: 4/5

Best card case: 05 Lowepro Compact Media Case 20

Price: £14/$20 – www.lowepro.co.uk
This is the largest case here – but it will pack a small portable hard drive. However, there’s only space for four SD cards, and they’ll be a pain to access, thanks to fiddly soft pouches.

Score: 2/5

Best card case: 06 PNY Memory Card Case

Price: £14/$20 – www.pny.eu
Storing cards securely but also maintaining easy access is tricky, but PNY has managed it perfectly here. You get slots for eight SD cards plus another four CF, as well as weather-sealing.

Score: 5/5
