    CF Storage to go....

    As I don't like to carry my Netbook with me on trips, I normally take CF cards. I would review my images as soon as I can get to a TV or Computer display. I now have 13 cards that have sufficient capacity and speed to be usefully. My problem is travel storage:
    • I don't like to store full cards in any of my camera bags because I worry about loosing all of my images if a bag is stolen of lost. The gear can be replaced, but the trip cannot.
    • I like to keep the CF cards in their plastic containers, because it helps keep them dry.
    So as the trip progresses, the noise I make is not my old bones creaking but the rattling of CF Cards. So what is your recommended travel card storage?

    All ideas (except a Passepartout) are welcome.
    Canon EOS 7D, EF-S 10-22, EF 24-105L, EF 50 f1.2L, EF 70-300L, 430EX.

    I use something like this to store my SD cards, I'd've thought you could get similar for CF.

    I use pretty much the same thing, mine's a Lowepro case. Pelican make some good sturdy cases and they're a bit better sealed against water than most.
