CF storage, what do you use?

so my cf card collection is building and this sounds like a lame question but what carrying case do you guys use (if any) that you would recommend?

ThinkTank Pixel PocketRocket. Holds 10 cards and has a clip so you don't lose it as easily.

I will second the Pixel Pocket Rockets, I have 2 of them, 1 for 1 gig cards and 1 for 2 gig cards. Also has a clear window for business cards.

At home: in a drawer organiser (along with my remotes and batteries).
Out: in their plastic cases in my bag. Vendor's label showing: card empty; White label showing: card full

+1 for the thinktanks pixel pocket rocket. I have the pee wee (4 CFs and 3 SDs).

+1 more for the Think Tank pixel pockets. They hold a lot and are very compact.

looks like im sold on that! =P

I actually have that as well; I fill a couple of the CF slots with SD-CF adapters (holding SD cards) for versatility.

^ good idea if you have more than 3 SDs. I avoid them like the plague, but I do have ~3.

My A620 and A630, as well as my wife's SD600 (and the 1D3) use SD or SDHC.

Since I have each CF paired with an SD/SDHC, I put them in pairs inside little plastic baggies when empty & then toss 'em loose in a velcro-closed chestvest pocket when filled. They're numbered so I can keep them matched up...especially after they've been used.

Yeah, I hear you Jon. Both my P&Ss use them still and I picked up my first for my 1DmII... But I've also broken 3 SDs, so like I said, I avoid them whenever possible. But it's inevitable that I end up needed a few.

i use one of those folding cases that holds four cards, two in each side. i have four 8-gig cards in the case, as well as an 8-gig card in my mark III and a 4-gig card in my 30d.

Currnetly have 5 2gig cards one in camera 4 in black plastic case. Empty cards face lable out and up full cards label in and card rightside up. I turn cards upside down after downloading to laptop (if I have it with me). Or at least that is the Idea sometimes in heat of changing cards I forget. Only thing I don't like is black plastic. I am thinking of painting it some hard to miss color like caution yellow or bright red something that would be hard to miss If I put it down. John

I have a litle Lowepro wallet that holds up to about 8 cards but I only have 3 slots filled. Small mesh pocket on one side that holds a bunch of biz cards as well.
