pcmcia card protector

I carry mine in a hard plastic eyeglasses case and stuff the case in the side pocket of my Targus backpack. There's also room in the case for a D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth USB adapter for use with my Sony Ericsson T610 and GPRS when travelling.

Yep. Just don't stuff it in any dirt. :)

I just toss mine in the computer bag. Been doing that without incident for years. But if you must:

*I have been using PCMCIA Cards (PC CArds) since their inception,. Have never gone out of my way to do anything special to protect them. And am constantly just throwing them in the pockets of a computer back. Like most things with your ciomputer, use common sense. Dont expose to moisture, dont put where weight will be on it, and keep any holes free of dirt. Simple

I'm cheap.

bought a few and discovered that some of my PCMCIA cards with antennas will not fit. Measure twice, pay once. There are a bunch of other styles on eBay. Search for "PCMCIA case".

I just shove my collection into an old cellphone belt bag. No damage yet. The big danger is in leaving the card in the laptop and then tossing the laptop in the bag. The projecting antenna section will bend, break, or become mangled. I know because I've done it.

Me too.

Yeah, the part of my adapter that sticks out of the slot is sorta fat.

aha... I think I see a cover that slides over just the "slot" part of the card. That's exactly what I had in mind.

Thanks, Rick
