I bought a nifty little memory card case from my favourite accessories shop the other week.

(Canon G9X II @ 10.2mm, ISO 200, f/8, 1/160th. This is the first time I've used the little G9X II, and I reckon it does a pretty nice job. Glasses for scale.)


It stores 8 SD cards or 4 CF cards, or any combination of the two, fits neatly in a trouser or shirt pocket, and it's waterproof. They fit neatly into the firm but flexible rubbery liner - you just press them in - and won't fall out even if you open the case.

(Same settings as above.)

Doubtless there are dozens of broadly similar ones to be found elsewhere, and many different vendors. I got it from http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Waterproof-Extremely-tough-Memory-Card-Case-MC-2-for-4-CF-cards-8-SD-cards-/120905761556

Cost less than $8.00, postage is free. The free postage took about three weeks to arrive here from Germany. (Germany? Eh? I thought Pheobe-g was based in China. But who cares? You can pay a small amount extra for faster delivery if you like.)

Sadly, I seem to have bought so many cameras lately - and two of them with dual slots - that I don't have any spare cards to put in it now. I had to raid those two out of the 1D IV. :(

Story of my life.

Great looking little case. I'm still using the little plastic ones that the SD cards came in.

For those interested in the one above, found a seller in Sydney for 0.88c more if you do want it quicker.

A couple of noteworthy images :th3:, although I think that the composition in #1 could be marginally improved by leaving a little more space at the top. I’d also recommend pushing the shadows a little harder on the LHS of the case as well as removing the annoying, intrusive, loose foliage at top right.;)

The glare/reflection in #2 is a little distracting and might be toned down in post. Also, the magnifying glasses could be cleaned to allow for clearer vision and clarity of views into the sun.:cool:

In both images, the BG is too dominant and somewhat detracts from the main subject matter; it makes me think that I am on some sun-kissed Greek Island when glancing at these. Some subtle desaturation in post might help here?:confused013

It’s about time you weeded the tiles too, to minimise any further deterioration.:p

I think that #2 would have more impact if there were memory cards present in the case on the RHS as well, to balance out the left-hand side heavy look, further accentuated by the presence of the magnifying spectacles.:)

Other than those minor nit-picks, a couple of fine images; print them and hang them in the pool room.:lol::lol:

Cheers

I remember buying about 5 of these cases a few years ago when I was heading to Svalbard. I needed something waterproof, shock proof and could hold either SD or CF cards. I reckon they were a good buy then for around $8. I still use them everyday to hold all my cards, never let me down yet.

Grabbed one of these a few tears ago and toured all over Vietnam with it, was perfect [emoji106][emoji106]

Be careful. It is advertised as waterproof, but I don't think they guarantee it against tears.
