If you use the Light Blaster Projection system, there is a good chance you’ve amassed quite a bit of slides. I’ve seen people hack a Think Tank Pixel Pocket Rocket by removing the middle stitches that separate each compartment, but why settle for fabric when you can print a nifty Swiss army knife style.
This file from thingiverse is made to hold several slides in a sweet-looking wallet that kinda resembles a Swiss-army knife.
The build was inspired by this build from Dranoweb, which has the same concept only for memory cards, which you should probably also print if you are already printing stuff…
The build for the holder is pretty simple, and aside from the 3D printed parts all you need are two bolts and two nuts to hold the entire thing together. The longer the bolts, the more blades you can have.
The best thing, they fold up really small:
You can download the files here, and if you print one please do share your results in the comments section.

The first in blue is better for CF compact flash
If someone starts selling these in a variety of colours, sizes and options on which card holder blades you want for a reasonable price, I would buy one immediately. My current holder is kind of bulky, and this looks like it would take up a fraction of the space.
Very nice
