DiMeCard micro8 microSD Memory Card Holder (Ultra thin credit card size holder, writable label)

Firstly, I suppose this does the job it's supposed to. It holds your memory cards, and that's what you bought it for.However, considering it's just a piece of plastic about the size of a credit card, I was expecting a little more for the price.The micro SD card slots don't retain the cards other than friction - no click to secure or release as you'd get in a proper device.Secondly, the space to write information about a card is only around 1cm square, and could have been a lot bigger considering the rest of the space is taken up with the product name that's already on the other side.Finally, it would have been a lot better if it wasn't made in almost exactly the same colour as the memory cards you'd be storing in it. They just don't visibly stand out when pushed all the way in. Simply making the plastic light grey would have been an improvement, so at a glance you could have seen which cards are present.Maybe this is better than a case that cards could fall out of when opened, but I'm not sure I'd trust putting this in a camera bag either, as it's still possible to snag the cards and remove them accidentally.EDIT: After my review, I received an email from the manufacturers. They claim there is a spring holding the cards in place (although it doesn't work like a proper device, there is a detent holding it in place more than just friction). Apparently they perform tests to ensure the cards can't fall out as well, such as spinning from a lanyard. They also say they are going to increase the size of the area to write on.For this information I've upped the rating to four stars, as it's probably a lot better than it appears, but it would still be nice if the plastic was in a different colour so the cards stood out...

I have to admit, when I first spotted this I wasn't entirely convinced as to whether it would be exactly what I was after. Still, for £4.99 I figured I couldn't go far wrong, so ordered it. Am now very glad I did!This is an amazing idea! I love it! So simple but so practical. Each of the 8 storage slots are numbered, making it easy to find the card you're after and there are (small) marked spaces on the back of the holder for you to write additional identification numbers or letters (or very short, very tiny words).The holder grips the cards nicely and there's no hint of them slipping out by accident. At the same time, however, even those with extremely short fingernails (like mine, which get bitten to the quick) will have no trouble removing the cards when they're needed.The construction is about as robust as it can be for the thing's size, though personally I wouldn't put it in my wallet, since that goes everywhere with me and by nature of a rough & ready lifestyle, gets given some serious punishment!Since purchasing this I have also purchased a Lowepro armoured Media Case (£24.99 from PCWorld, probably available online for less) and can heartily recommend it as an excellent companion to this card holder, as there's a pocket inside that's just the right fit. Much better protected in one of these than in a wallet, where it DOES stand to take damage. Much more secure too! The media case also fits nicely into my Targus 10.5" notebook bag, leaving plenty of room for external dvd drive, cables, mouse, charger and an A5 netbook (plus contents of media case)I'll soon be doing a lot of rough travelling on a quad bike and this card holder ticks all the boxes for minimalistic travel gear... small, light, serves a worthwhile purpose, does it's job well.I can't recommend this item highly enough. Even if you don't ask as much of your equipment as I do, this is an indispensable bit of kit for anyone who uses MicroSD cards and needs to store or transport them securely.Buy it!

So many devices now make use of Micro SD cards, and safely storing and transporting spare/alternate cards can be a problem. This DiMedium card is a useful, practical solution that fits neatly into credit card storage slots in purses, wallets, personal organisers, etc.The card has the same height and width as a credit card, and is about the same depth as two cards piled together. As a storage and transportation device it's generally a good thing.What's not so good are the tacky labels the card is covered in. On the front, the label is given over entirely to branding. On the back, there are the beginnings of a good idea with a series of boxes for writing disk details on. Unfortunately, the potential amount of space for labeling is drastically cut down by the inclusion of a QR code (in the middle of the last 4 label boxes, reducing their size from just over a centimeter across, to a pointless < 5mm) and a repeat of the brand logo, accompanied by the firm's contact details.

I have several Micro SD carts containing different operating systems to boot from. This is a good way to store them.They are held snugly and neatly. It would be nice if the next version wa designed so that the labels were easily re-writable., but this is a minor matter.

This little credit card sized device is a nice little piece of kit. It holds eight micro SD cards. It also has a little lanyard hole, which I use to keep one of these with: USB2.0 MICRO-SD / M2 MEMORY CARD READER - SDHC UP TO 32GB (Compatible With Windows 7) Cons: the cards are hard to extract if you don't have fingernails. The writable areas are very small and the finish is very glossy. Resolved with Dymo labeller.Pros: Eight slots makes for a massive amount of available storage in a very small and convenient form factor. As long as you don't need something bullet-proof, this can be a great solution for data transfers. Or, as I do, different genre of music per card for the in-car stereo ;)

I like to take my music and video with me on holiday so poor wifi is never a problem. This allows me to keep enormous quantities of mp3s and mp4s in my wallet.
