The LensGo case is the most versatile option on our list, allowing you to securely store your memory cards and two spare batteries as well. Inside, there’s room for eight microSD cards, four SD cards, two CF cards, and two DSLR batteries about the size of Nikon’s EN-EL15 or Canon’s LP-E6. LeansGo has also included two convenient battery level sliders that you can adjust by hand to indicate how much juice is left in each of your spare batteries.

Like all of the cases on our list, the LensGo camera battery and memory card storage case is water and dust resistant, although there’s no IP rating to back that up so we wouldn’t recommend submerging it.
