Eeh … what’s up, doc?
- Storage of surplus
MSD’s
By now most of us will probably be in possession of
two or more MSD's, most
likely a 16MB, a 64MB and a 128MB. The question is
then where to store the
surplus
cards: you'll still want to take them along for those extra MB's ?
You have
probably noticed that under
the cover,
at the top end of the battery,
there is
amble space to store two cards:
Off with
the cover, in with the cards,
on with
the cover again, and off we go.
However, when re-opening the lid you don't know
exactly where
the cards will be, and if you are juggled just at
the moment you
re-open the cover, then the cards will be all over
the floor.
I've tried two solutions to this: both of them work well. One is a
little
complex, involving slight modifications of the
battery.
The other is very simple...
The complex solution by p800doc:
The simple solution by p800doc:
Easy storage solution no. 1 by Clict (thanks!):

p800doc’s solution taken one step further by Lars
(thanks!):
Lars: “I took your solution one step further. I tried
your solution at first, but my battery cover would not
close all the way, so I came up with this solution... “
Using the MSD holder by David (thanks!):
David: “Since I use the Handstrap with my P800 (as it has saved my P800 from
falling to the floor many
times), I
can’t really use your options unless I glued my strap in place otherwise it
would fall out each
time I
opened the cover. After hearing on Esato that another
member has been using the little holder
that came
with their 128mb MSD, I started using mine. I was a little skeptical that it
was gonna fall out
but after
over a month of walking, running, jumping etc etc it
has never fallen out - and I clip my keys
to my belt
loop so if it fell out it would fall to the floor, not just be in my pocket. It
is a pretty obvious
solution
and it works perfectly because I always carry my keys on me. I know that people
may still be
worried
that it will fall out, but I assure you that the design is simple but perfect.”
Easy storage solution no. 2 by Clict (no, thanks!):
Clict:
“Remove the plastic cover from the memory stick duo. Do this to two sticks,
then stick them together back to back using either
gum or superglue.
Now the fun part.. Insert with vigour,
into the phone and enjoy a double-sided memory stick.
Warning: may void warranty on your life if you try this on someone else’s phone
first.
NB: Please disregard this post on between several to
many grounds!”
Do
keep the good ideas coming!!! I’ll be happy to
continue
posting pics of what you have done here.
