 impractical for intended use August 23, 2010
B. Stenman
I use a filter case to save time removing the filters from their individual cases and to reduce the space required in my camera bags. The Lowepro succeeds in the first area but fails in the second regard. It is more than twice as thick as it needs to be to protect the filters and as a result I don't use it in the field. My Nikon lens case is 40% of the thickness of the LowePro filter case and provides just as much protection and holds the same size filters and the same number of filters.
I cannot find anyone selling the Nikon cases so bought on of the LowePro and then found it was much too bulky at a thickness of 1-3/4 inches (not mentioned in the description of course) so it is never used. I have found slimmer cases by General and others which are not as thin as the Nikon due to their use of cordura nylon and padding, both of which are overkill and create the very bulky cases.
If you are only going to use 6 filters at most in the field it makes sense to buy a 6 filter case and take the 6 you plan to use and have a thinner item to stow in your camera bag. There are cases that are designed to take filters up to a certain size and this adds unnecessarily to their bulkiness and it is better to buy one that is barely up to the size you need, like 77mm for most Nikon lenses, or 82mm for Sigma lenses.
This Adorama case is a better choice for most uses as it will hold 6 filters so you can carry 3 sizes of ND and polarizer filters for example, but is more compact and it has plastic pockets which keep dust off the surfaces of the filters which the wallets with mesh pockets do not.
Adorama Slinger Filter Wallet "P" Holds Six 82mm Round or Six "P" Series Square Filters, Black.
People complain about their small filters falling out of these cases which are designed for large 82mm filters. If you have 52mm or smaller filter buy a case designed for small filters and they will not fall out and you will have a less bulky wallet to stow in your camera bag. Better to have multiple filter wallets than to try to get one large enough to hold everything and then try to squeeze it all into your bag.
 A bit bulky, but functional August 17, 2010

Not really much to add. It is a bit bulky and big, but it's very functional and well made. I recommend this item if you have a relatively big bag.
The perfect solution!!! June 16, 2010
ALICIA YOUNGKEN (Atlanta, GA USA)
I primarily use this pouch for for small accessories (IE: wireless remote, SD cards, etc) AND filters. I was very concerned about loosing or damaging these items otherwise. This pouch is the perfect solution, and I do not find it to be too bulky... goes well with my Kata DR-467i Digital Rucksack. I recommend this product hands down!

Too Much Padding April 16, 2010
D. Bayro (Grungetown/Rat City, USA)
There's a line between safe filters and not being able to fit your filter wallet in your bag. This line was crossed with this product. This thing barely fit in my mailbox. I will not be using it. It's too inexpensive an item to go through returning it or I would. It is way too fat. Also, the plastic windows contain some sort of "mesh" on the inside that could rub onthe glass of your filter. Some reviewers said they have used this with no such results. I would be super weary about this when you use coated filters (i.e. HMC, etc). I guess I'll just stick with the plastic boxes that B+W provide. Oh well. If you are looking for something simply to hold your collection in a drawer in your studio, this might work well for you. As for the seller, AvidMax, they did good and shipped my item immediately. I'd buy from them again.
Another Must Have!! February 24, 2010

A great way to organize and keep your filter collection safe. I could not find a filter holder locally and was happy to find such a variety on Amazon. This is exactly what I was looking for to keep my filters clean, safe and organized. The 'boxes' filters are sold in take up too much room and keeping them in my bag without some protection isn't an option. If you need a viable storage solution for your stack of filter, this will work nicely.
