SD cards are small memory storage devices used in mobile phones, cameras, and computers. Choosing the best SD card holder depends on the size and number of cards. They should be stored in a debris-free, moisture-resistant holder to prevent damage to the metal contacts. Different types of holders are available, including keychains, snap cases, flip books, plastic cases, and hard cases that can hold up to 12 cards. Some holders also serve as card readers.

SD cards are used as memory storage devices for mobile phones, digital cameras and personal computers. They are often the size of a postage stamp, or smaller. An SD card holder can be used to store memory cards when they are not in use. Choosing the best SD card holder will usually depend on the size of the SD card and the number of cards that need to be stored.

You can use several SD cards to organize your photos and information. When not in use, they should be placed in a debris-free, moisture-resistant SD card holder. An SD memory card will often have a small piece of metal visible on its exterior. This metal is the point of contact between the card and the corresponding digital device. If these metal contacts are damaged by debris or water, they may fail and information may not be accessible.

The number of SD cards that need to be stored will usually determine the size of the SD card media. Smaller models can be carried on a key ring, with larger versions sold as small flip books or plastic cases that snap shut. Keychains and snap cases often contain only one SD memory card. Flip cases can hold two or more SD cards and vary in size. Smaller flip sleeves are often the size of business cards, with larger sleeves resembling small address books.

Micro-SD cards are most commonly used in cell phones. These are very small and may require an adapter for use with personal computers, capable of extracting data from cards. Micro memory card cases may include a slot for the micro-SD card and adapter. Most often, the adapter is the size of a standard SD card.

You can also purchase hard SD card cases to hold up to 12 SD cards. These are usually made of hard, molded plastic and feature a zipper closure. Inside, plastic sheets are used to separate the SD cards. These cases are ideal for storing a large number of memory cards. The plastic can be marked to identify the data stored on each card.
Some SD card storage enclosures serve a dual purpose as a card holder and a card reader. These devices can store SD cards and connect to a personal computer via a USD cable. The cards can then be read and the information extracted from the card memory, while remaining in the SD card holder.
