These card holders are the best. Durable -I have several. I like the bright colors to see them easily in the camera bag.

I went out of my way to find this memory card holder by Gepe. It has every aspect of keeping memory cards safe.They are tough enough to withstand any pressure or weight that may fall on it accidentally. It is a clean, tight fitting plastic insert holding the cards so I have no fear of dust or possible scrapes that may occur even within the inside of where it is placed.Wonderful accessory for serious or beginning photographers cuz nothing more important than keeping data safe!

Great case - secure, strong. Use caution putting cards in and out - remember: the cards are not the most durable things in the world. Does very well by me - not worried about my cards at all!

Organized and love the color, easy to find instead of all my black colored ones.

Very handy. With the see thru ability I can tell what cards have been used. Bought my first one about 4 years ago and just bought my third one. Easier to keep track of my memory cards.

It's got some heft to it but this case isn't getting pushed around. I've had this case for 17 years now and all it shows is some fine scratches from all its years of service. If traveling light is of utmost importance, you may want to go with something like a ThinkTank pouch but if you need ultimate protection, Gepe and Pelicans are the way to go.

It's great! Glows in the dark and is so easy to find in my all black interior bag!

Super bomb proof. very happy with this purchase. It keeps the cards secure and I don't have to worry about them getting damaged when in this case.

As a waterproof case for my most used memory cards. Also can stack SD, CF, and other cards so capacity is actually storage for more than 4 cards.

I bought this case to replace a ballistic nylon card wallet. On the positive side, it is waterproof, dustproof, and keeps the cards very secure. On the negative side, it only holds four cards of each type and the cards can only be inserted one way (no flipping a used card here). For me the negatives are not an issue and the positives are a step up.

I tend to shoot smaller capacity CF cards so I don't risk losing tons of photos if something goes wrong. This is my 3rd GEPE Extreme safe and all have worked well. I like the bright colors cause it makes them easy to spot if you actually drop one in the water/grass, etc. The consruction is excellent. The cards fit in this safe really tight but once you are used to that, it isn't a problem.

The case is great. But its does take a little adjusting when putting CF cards in to the slot. If it goes in too far it takes a little more pull to get the cards out of the case. Other than that it's a sturdy case to protect your cards.

I now have 4 of these and they are great. However, it is a little hard to get the card out of the case.

I have owned one of these for four years and it works great. Its the only card holder I will use

A prior reviewer commented that the cards are difficult to remove; they are snug but I have not found them to be that hard to remove. I have found them more difficult to put in. With that said, the construction is excellent. This unit uses hinges, not flexible plastic. Not only does is carry four CF cards (or whatever you use), but you can also put four more SD cards in it as well. I keep 4 CF and 4 SD cards in it. It is the BEST media card case I have seen. I put down "bulky" as a con, it is more bulky than the cheaper cases out there. Now, if that means that they will stay safer, then I really don't care. The construction is much better than the other ones I have used. However, if you are buying it just for SD cards, it is a bit of an overkill. Gepe makes a smaller case for the SD sized cards for a little less money. Bottom line, it is well made and functional... well worth the money.

Very well built, water tight, rock solid. Only concern is the (slightly) tight fit of the CF cards in their respective slots. They can be difficult to get out (when you are in a hurry). I think these slots may "wear in" after some use, so it's not a deal breaker by any means.

I have two of these in different colors. I use one for storing blank CF or SD cards and the other for storing cards with images on them. They are easy to find in my bag, convenient and they are very secure. Having two different colors allows me to easily keep track of my memory cards.

Overall nice product, but the CF cards were so tightly held in place I had to pry them out...which I was concerned would eventually damage them. Oh the irony!! I imagine over time that maybe they will loosen a bit, but right now I don't use this product.

Recommended to me by top professional photographer ([...]) ...excellent recommendation. Totally safe and secure storage for CF cards. I bought 4 cases for trips over-seas. Would not leave home without them again.

This is my second purchase of a Gepe Extreme Card Safe. I've used the first one ever since I started the switch to digital about 5 years ago. To me, it's a perfect product. It securely holds & protects the cards from just about any peril and it's a bright color, so it's hard to misplace or lose. Plus it floats! I got up to owning 8 cards & keeping spares in my pants pockets. Almost lost one & decided it was madness not to have all of them securely stored, so I purchased a second Card Safe. Bottom line - If you own more cards than cameras, you need these to safely store the extras.

I had one for many years. It resisted all kind of abuses traveling with me across the globe. Can double storage by placing SD under the CF. I needed more storage so I bought excatly the same. I even kept the same color (bright yellow)because it is so easy to find in bag. So strong can easy stay days in your pocket. Highly recommended.

I have three of them in different colors and use them to store all my memory cards. The bright colors make them easy to identify. Strong and Well padded. And reasonably priced!

Very good product. The engineering of the product really stands out compared to other cheap products out there that claim the same features.

Gepe makes good products, I've used many of their slide mounts with anti-newton glass and was pleased with the level of finish. The card safe isn't any exception; it can take a different format in each pocket, the labels can face in or out, the rubber is anti-stat, you can stand on the thing and it only the case will bear the force (unless you're Andre the giant and crush it!) I would actually pay more for this case...something I rarely admit.

This is solidly built. Seems like it will last a while and protect your cards well. You can fit an sd card and then a cf card above it at the same time in each space.

The big advantage to the Extreme case over the other Gepe card holders is the hinge. It's an actual hinge instead of a piece of plastic that will wear and separate. Haven't tested if it's waterproof, but construction is solid. It is definitely not small.

This is the best card case I've found.
When it comes to the crunch...
Sailing close to the wind or climbing right to the top: the Card Safe Extreme is ready for (almost) everything. It is the top of the range of the Card Safe products. Like all other Card Safes it protects memory cards against dust, humidity, shock and electrostatic charge.
In addition, it is water and climate proof thus fit for the next adventure trip into the desert.
To ensure its outdoor quality, the Extreme has a reinforced hinge and a reinforced lock with stainless steel pins and a connector to attach it at the belt or the camera bag.
Inside the Card Safe Extreme are four compartments for bigger-sized memory cards such as Compact Flash or Memory Stick as well as SM and SD cards.
The CardSafe Extreme adapts to its surrounding in unobtrusive onyx or sticks out in blazing neon.
