Lowepro PixelPak V1 Accessory Case (Silver): Customer Reviews & Product Details

The design of the case is well thought out. It is strong and will really
protect the SD cards, It just oozes quality

I bought this a week or so ago and have been pleased with the purchase. I wonder if they have changed the type of insert they are using (check out the dates on some earlier reviews noting rubber too hard in the case to hold SD cards) - since it seems to hold cards securely for me. I was able to dislodge the SD card by knocking on the case but there is plenty of padding in there and I really could not see an SD card coming to harm as long as it stays inside the case. Shortly after getting the case my puppy got ahold of it for a few minues and did no damage despite chewing on it. No guarantees as your dog may have stronger jaws but that is a pretty good endorsement for solid construction in my book.

LIKES: Well-made, hard shell case keeps small memory cards from getting lost
DISLIKES: Rubber inserts are size-specific to mini-cards and will not accomodate larger SD cards. I had to remove the rubber molding and just lay my SDs loose in the case. I would have preferred that the rubber slots offer more size variety so that cards could be held stationery.

This is a great case for holding your SD cards in. There bags are the only ones I use so when I saw this at a local BestBuy I had to get it even though I had one just like it from another brand. I thought the other brand did well, but after just one shoot using this product I was hooked! Now that I am moving up to a camera that takes compact flash I will be buying 4 of the PixelPak 2's to hold all my new cards. Buy Lowepro, other brands may do the job to different degrees of success, but Lowepro you know your getting quality you can depend on every time.

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.
