Floppy Disk Organizers, Scaled Down to Hold Micro SD Cards

In the age of floppy disks, these were a common sight in offices and school computer labs:

A fellow named Trevor Flowers, whose bio says only "I make tiny art machines," 3D prints these tiny versions of the same design for Micro SD cards:

"Back when floppies were new we kept them safe in somewhat terrible plastic bins. Now that micro SD cards can hold thousands of times more data they're what we use and what we lose!"

"So, here's a little throwback to the floppy organizer but sized for micro SD cards. I used double-sided tape to stick mine to the top of my PC monitor because I'd lose it on my messy desk."

Flowers sells the Smol Floppy Disk Organizer for Micro SD Cards for $22 a pop.

If you see an OG floppy disk holder, buy it and use it to store sandpaper! Great for sorting the different grits and quickly grabbing the disc you need.

It's a cute 3D print, but it'd be hard to use - micro-sd cards are definitely a pain to keep track of, I'd say some kind of at least business-card-sized sleeves in a cardfile would be ideal, if you really had to manage a lot of them.
