3×5 DIY Protective Cover

[admin]

I made this last night. (If you have good eyes, it’s not blurry in person.)

I’ve tried a pocket briefcase and did not like the bulk or convenience of use. I used a small binder clip for quite some time and really did not care for clipping and unclipping the binder to get to a fresh card. The cards also would get messed up every now and then because of no protective cover.

So, I am going to try this out.

Pretty simple to make.

I used a clear plastic file folder and cut it to the same size as a 3×5 note card for the front and back.

Measured and marked my paper punch so it would save time next time I need a refill. Punched the holes in the plastic covers and notecards.

It is held together by a philips head rivet, small washer, and an o-ring for tension.

The picture above is showing 30 cards plus 2 plastic covers and is just under 1/4″ thick.

I used it this morning while I was out and like that I can easily flip through the cards. Now to see how long it will hold up to EDC.
