2.0 out of 5 stars Cards everywhere..., May 20, 2008

I have had this case for over a year, and have enough SD cards to fill all 8 slots. It does a good job of protecting the cards once I have closed the case. The problem is that when I open the case, the cards fall out of their spaces. I'm not an overly violent or strong person, and I don't feel that I am being too rough with it. I just have to be very careful when, where and how I open it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cards come loose and jostle around inside, October 6, 2008

I would not recommend this case. While it has a hard shell, the disks come loose and jostle around inside. The hard rubber is too hard to hold onto the disks. If they had used soft rubber or even a pill pack type material it would have been better. This is going back to amazon. So what if the cards are protected from external forces if they are subject to internal ones that can be as bad.

This case is a good way to loose an expensive 32GB SD card! Recently took this on a trip and was sitting in business class, so plenty or room, yet upon opening the case every card inside fell out. One of the cards got stuck in a crevice and was ruined upon pulling it out (doesn't work anymore). It was class 10 too. So bad luck or whatever, cards should not be falling out of the case when you open it. The whole point is to keep cards secure, isn't it?

This problem also ruins this case from being any kind of organizer. If you were thinking (as I did) you would put cards in order so that you remember which card has what content on it, forget that. Since the cards don't stay in the slots, all order will be mixed up.

Lowepro, a trusted name in camera equipment/accessories, failed pretty bad with this. Avoid and find a better product.
