Hi, I'm looking for a card case to carry / protect my deck of standard Bicycles. Right now I carry the deck in my left rear pocket and it gets pretty beat up. I've scoured the Internet and found a pewter case, leather cases, suggestions to use cigarette pack cases. I'm even considering buying a Bicycle Prestige deck since it comes with a plastic carry case, but not sure if it holds just the cards and not the deck in the box.

Want to do this for a single deck and carry it in my rear pocket. Fancy would be fine, as I like the idea of presentation to announce the beginning of a set. Gimmicked would be fine, if there is such a thing.

What do YOU use / prefer / recommend? Links would be nice if you have them.

THANK YOU in advance!
TH

I found the Joe Porper card clip keeps my cards in a good shape, maybe you want to check those out.

All the best,
Sven ^^

I had two leather card cases made with my "Loomis Magic" logo. Here's the link to his site: http://www.theambitiouscard.com/

With two matching cases I can use them for a deck switch as well.

I had them sized to hold just the cards. But Frank can make them so that they will hold the deck in the box if you prefer.

I still use PDA cases, with no top flap, from Dollar Tree. I keep unboxed decks in those.

I imagine that some of the new phone cases may work, as well. I also have a leather card case. All of them clip onto my belt or pocket.

Porper is the best I've ever seen.

Another vote for the Porper case.

I've got to say that the cases Dennis has look very Pro.

The Porper Clip keeps your deck really flat so if you like that it can be a selling point.

I like a slight curve in my deck.

I use a porper clip and it doesn't matter what pocket you carry it in, your deck (and box) will stay near brand new for a long time. The only problem with holding it in your back pocket is the metal corners will eventually wear a hole in your back pocket (at least it did for me) that's why I carry mine in the front pocket where that problem doesn't occur.

I heard from a friend that anecdotal evidence is actually quite reliable.

I use a leather case.
It protects the cards.
But also - a leather wallet is perfect for the Brainwave deck.
And with both decks in a leather case, a deck switch is easy.
