Product Information
Full details
The Tenba Tools Reload Universal Card Wallet is designed for photographers who need a compact and organized solution for storing their memory cards on the go. Its key benefit is providing secure, readily accessible storage for various card types while offering a way to differentiate between full and empty cards. A minor caveat is its limited capacity if you primarily shoot with CF cards and need to carry a very large number.

FAQs
How many cards can this wallet actually hold?
It can hold up to 8 CF cards, 12 SD cards, or a large quantity of Micro SD cards. The exact number can vary slightly based on the thickness of the specific cards.
Can I store other small items besides memory cards?
While designed for memory cards, the pockets could hold other very small, flat items, but this is not its intended use and may affect organization.
Is this wallet waterproof?
The wallet is not designed to be waterproof. While the zippers offer some protection, it is best to keep it away from direct water exposure.
What is the purpose of the D-ring?
The D-ring is for attaching a security cord or carabiner, allowing you to tether the wallet to your camera bag, belt loop, or backpack to prevent loss.
How do I best use the color-coded pockets?
A common method is to assign one color to hold empty cards ready for use and the other color to store used cards. This makes it easy to quickly grab a fresh card or know which cards still contain images.
Does it come with any memory cards?
No, the Tenba Tools Reload Universal Card Wallet is sold empty. Memory cards are not included.
What are the outside dimensions?
The outside dimensions are approximately 4.75 inches wide by 3 inches high by 0.5 inches deep (12W x 8H x 1D cm).
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Gently work the zipper back and forth. If necessary, apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Cards feel loose within the pockets.
This wallet is designed for a snug fit to prevent cards from falling out. Ensure you are not overstuffing the pockets beyond their intended capacity. For Micro SD cards, consider using an adapter if they feel too small on their own.
Clear window is smudged or dirty.
Wipe the clear window with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To clean the wallet, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior and interior. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the wallet in water. Ensure the wallet is completely dry before storing memory cards, especially if exposed to moisture.
