Claim:
A memory card holder and organizer for holding and organizing a plurality of portable memory cards, the memory card holder and organizer comprising: a card body comprising first and second memory card covering members that form an enclosure for receiving a plurality of portable memory cards and that define first and second surfaces, each of which faces outward in a direction that is orthogonal to a direction of memory card insertion and opposite to the other, and first and second opposite-facing lateral edges, each of which faces a direction parallel to the direction of memory card insertion; the card body defining a plurality of memory card insertion and holding slots for insertion and holding of the plurality of portable memory cards in an interior region defined by the card body; wherein the memory card insertion and holding slots are laterally accessible through apertures in the first and second lateral edges; wherein the first surface defines a plurality of notches adjacent to the first lateral edge for allowing removal of portable memory cards inserted in the memory card insertion and holding slots accessible via the first lateral edge and wherein the second surface defines a plurality of notches adjacent to the second lateral edge for allowing removal of portable memory cards inserted in the memory card insertion and holding slots accessible via the second lateral edge, wherein the notches adjacent to the first lateral edge are recessed inwardly from the first lateral edge and the notches adjacent to the second lateral edge are recessed inwardly from the second lateral edge so that portable memory cards inserted in the notches adjacent to the first lateral edge are accessible from the first surface and portable memory cards inserted in the notches adjacent to the second lateral edge are accessible from the second surface and are substantially co-planar with portable memory cards inserted in the notches adjacent to the first lateral edge; and wherein the first and second card covering members are substantially identical in structure.
