FAQs
How many SD cards can this wallet hold?
The Shimoda Card Wallet SD can securely hold up to 15 standard SD cards.
Is this wallet completely waterproof?
The wallet features a water-resistant PU coating and zipper, protecting against light rain and splashes. However, it is not designed to be submerged in water and is not fully waterproof.
Can I store other types of memory cards in this wallet?
No, this wallet is specifically designed for standard SD cards. It cannot accommodate microSD cards (without an adapter) or larger formats like CFexpress.
How does the wallet protect my cards from impact?
It features a padded EVA foam shell that absorbs shock from drops and impacts, safeguarding the cards inside.
What are the TPU sleeves for?
The high-quality TPU sleeves hold each SD card individually, providing protection and allowing you to easily see and identify each card at a glance.
How can I attach the wallet to my bag?
The wallet includes integrated clips and a security cord that can be attached to belt loops, backpack straps, or other gear for convenient and secure carrying.
What is the purpose of the fold-out design?
The fold-out design allows for effortless organization and quick access to all your stored SD cards, making it easier to find the one you need when shooting.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Ensure no cards or debris are obstructing the zipper track. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth if necessary.
Cards do not fit securely in sleeves.
Ensure you are using standard SD cards. The TPU sleeves are designed for a snug fit to prevent cards from falling out. If a card feels too loose, check if it is a non-standard size or if the sleeve has been stretched.
Water resistance seems compromised.
Inspect the PU coating and zipper for any tears or damage. If damage is found, the water-resistant properties may be reduced. Clean and dry the wallet thoroughly. For minor wear on the coating, continued use in light moisture is generally fine, but avoid submersion.
