I lost the case for one of my CF cards where should I get a new one?

BradT0517 · 28th of June 2007 (Thu)

Ok while I was in Colorado I was changing CF cards and appearently missed my pocket when putting the case in it. Would anybody know where I could find a replacement case.

Thanks,
Brad

Yea I was looking there but I mean the little clear plastic ones that come with the card when you buy it.

PM me your address and I can send you a couple. I don't use them so I have a small pile somewhere.

I keep my cards in this:

Actually, you'd be far better off with a case that holds several CF cards. The one that I use, by Tamrack, has little flags that you push inside the card's space if the card is empty and pull out out if the card is full (or the opposite method - your choice). The little plastic shipping cases don't allow for any such indication of which card(s) is/are already full or which one(s) is/are ready to use.

Here's the case that I use. It even has room to store three spare batteries for my 20D (511A type) along with four CF cards. There's a strap on the back (with a snap) that allows you to connect this to your camera bag strap, your belt, or whatever. I just toss the case into my camera bag.

Hi SkipD. I have the same system with my Tamrac... however I ended up buying an aluminium case that takes four CF cards. It has a foam type inner layer to keep everything nice and secure and tidy. That now sits in the front pocket of my Tamrac bag. The case was only about £7 GBP.

As its aluminium it'll take a few knocks without damaging the CF's.

I'm in the same boat. I just got 4 4G micro drives that didn't come with cases. It seems the little cases can't be found. I'd rather have those, since I already have a soft case.

Ditto - me too. Now I also use the smaller version too. This is the best way to keep track of cards I know. The lanyard is invaluable.

As an update on the story I ordered one of the Think Tank Pixel Pocket Rockets from Samys on the 5th and it just got here yesterday. It is a really great item to have.
