Power 2000 SD1 Aluminum Case Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Decent quality - works just fine
Comment: Cards are snugly held by the rubber insert, and the case closes securely. Note that opening/closing is a two-handed operation, i.e. press in the tab and separate the halves like a clam-shell. Also, the picture indicates that the color is silver/grey, but the exterior of the item I received was much closer to black in color. Seems to be a little higher quality than the similar Vanguard cases offered on eBay. I've now ordered a second of these cases from Amazon/J&R.

Summary: Does the job well
Comment: The finish does scuff easily, but the case has held together well for me. The construction material does feel a bit cheap. The SD cards sit in snuggly.

Summary: Juuuust a little cheap...but they do protect their cargo.
Comment: Fell apart the day I got it. The aluminum panels are fastened to the internal; plastic frame with double sided tape. Cheap cheap cheap. One panel fell off, and would not reattach. I peeled the tape the rest of the way off and put a few globs of epoxy in there, squeezed it, and I think it's good.

On the upside, these seem to REALLY offer a lot of protection. I have one that I use a lot for CF cards, and while they look terrible pretty fast (painted, not anodized, and they scratch easily) they seem extremely well designed around their primary purpose, which is protecting media.

That cheap finish, by the way, adds a scruffy patina that makes them look war-weary...nobody likes to be the only n00b-looking guy with brand-new tools, right?
