BIGGER THAN I WOULD HAVE LIKED
IT WAS BIGGER THAN I HOPED BUT IT IS NICELY ORGANISED INSIDE FOR SAFE KEEPING OF CARDS
Nice rugged protection for your flash media
These are essential for photo shoots when you're changing cards. I use these when I'm shooting weddings or other events. They are hard and durable... and a nice, static free environment to place my flash cards when not in use. I have two card safes like this. One is empty, the other holds my unused media. As I fill up the cards I have, I put the used cards in the other safe, marked w/ a dot from a Sharpie so I know which is the 'used' and 'unused' safe. I can put these in my pocket and sit on them - no worries. No way to bend them and unlikely you're ever going to do anything to make them break.
My less than perfect rating is for two issues:
1.) The various models do not have color options. It would be nice if I could have color-coded safes so I know that (for example), I'm grabbing the safe w/ the 4GB cards instead of the one w/ the 2GB cards. For now, I rely on a Sharpie. Yea, you can 'see' in the little window, but you have to take time to carefully hold the thing in the light and look in there. It would be much easier to see them at a glance by color
2.) It would be nice if the actual cut-outs for different sized media were color-coded, so you're not turning your media around 3 times to try and see which slot it fits in.
3.) These don't have water tight seals. From examining the seams, it's easy to see how sand and moisture could work their way through to the media. Since I don't work around water or sand, this isn't a huge dilemma, but it is worth noting.
The safes close w/ a secure click and the media fits securely in the appropriately cut slot. I don't go on a photo shoot w/o these guys with me.
