Cases for Your Filters and Memory Cards
What good is protecting your camera if your memory cards and filters get ruined? You won't be able to take the shot you want! I like these protective cases.

Wandrd Lens Filter Case for $44: I'm always so bad at packing my lens filters. Either I always leave them at home, or I bring the wrong one. When I do bring the right one, I've been so lazy that I've just tossed it into a crevice in my camera bag. Don't be like me! I love this hardshell EVA foam lens filter case. When you fill it up with four, it's a smidge thick, but much more protective than what I used to do. The interior sports a soft-touch lining to keep the glass safe. Now I can finally throw away the annoying puck-shaped holders that all these filters seem to come in.

Wandrd Memory Card Case for $34: This Wandrd case also uses a harder EVA foam shell to protect your precious memory cards. It's still slim but will take up more room in a backpack. You can fit eight memory cards and two SSDs. I could fit my SD and XQD cards with their plastic cover, but the XQD was a much tighter squeeze. I'd probably forgo the plastic cover at that point, and if you do that, everything is easy to insert and take out.

Lowepro GearUp Memory Wallet for $39: Lowepro's version is a softshell case that will be easier to stow in a backpack, though it's a little less protective. Also, while my SD cards fit perfectly with their plastic covers, my XQD cards did not—I had to take them out of their plastic covers, and that's probably fine anyway. It's made of up to 55 percent recycled fabric, and I also love the high-visibility orange interior.
