A worth while investment May 22, 2008

After losing one of my secure digital memory cards, I decided that it was time to invest in some proper storage for them. Strangely enough I discovered that there isn't actually a great variety of products designed for this purpose. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places, but I could only find this Lowepro memory card holder and a SanDisk one. Nevertheless I decided to buy this one and for the most part I'm very happy with it.
It does what it's designed to do, offering stylish protection for my memory cards. There is nothing major I can fault about the card holder itself. It's compact, well built, gives you easy access when you need it, while remaining shut when you don't, and honestly it looks pretty professional and rather neat.
Like other reviewers have rightfully mentioned it would have been good if the card holder was dust and or waterproof. But the only real failing is that it isn't exactly good value for money. Nearly fourteen pounds at time of ordering seems a bit extreme. For that reason I cannot award this product five stars. But still I suppose the price is reasonable when compared to the cost of losing a memory card along with its contents. So still a good purchase and one I'm glad I made.
Good, but not perfect March 9, 2008

Beware that the V1 is not the 'old' version of this item, it's designed to hold different types of memory cards from the V2. If you want to hold SD, MMC, MSD or XD cards, this is the one you need.
I bought one of these to keep my SD cards safe - I have 7 of the little babies to carry with me to feed my Canon G9 and my Edirol R-09. Carrying them in their own little plastic cases was getting bulky and fiddly.
The Pixel Pack is quite compact; about the size of an iPod, and has a secure press-latch to hold it closed. It's very solidly built, and I can't imagine that treading on it accidentally would damage its precious cargo, as the rubber liners touch back-to-back, making it very solid when closed.
It has 8 dual-purpose cut-outs inside, and when closed, 4 in each half come face-to-face, keeping the cards safely in place (at least SD or MMC cards, that is).
The MSD and XD cards fit slightly deeper in the holes, and I can imagine that, because they don't come into direct contact with their opposing twins in the other half of the shell when closed, they could come loose in transit. SD cards are held in place with small rubber spurs, but they are not gripped with a huge amount of resistance. Fortunately, the case, when closed, holds them in place. Not so for MSD and XD cards, though there's no way they can fall out completely.
The case does not, unfortunately, have a positive rubber seal around its perimeter to completely exclude dust and water. This is a missed opportunity, as given the design, this would have been very easily achievable. Something for the next release, I think.
It would also have been possible for the case to hold more cards were it not designed as multi-purpose. Having been dedicated to any of the individual card types, it would have been able to hold 16 instead of 8 cards. I suspect this is more down to reducing the number of different versions which need manufacture and stocking than it is practicality. I don't imagine many people tend to carry a mixture of different types of memory cards.
All in all, worth the purchase price, but it missed out on being perfect for the above reasons.
