You can only be so careful about static electricity. Take all the precautions and then a spider takes a nap in your SD card slot and ZAP!! Haven't had any problem with ziploc bags. Although I now use mostly insulated lunch bags for lenses and stuff. Only a buck at the dollar store. Little tools, screwdrivers, allen wrenches and parts fit nicely in tall pill bottles, and thrown in a lunch bag.

Also check your local DAISO store, they have a variety of SD card containers for $2. Also heavy plastic food containers ( clear blue or clear) with screw lids, that fit various lens sizes (Lumix and SLR Magic lenses or any lenses) for extra protection.

@vicharris Yes, we're prob definitely overdoing it. LOL. I've decided to get a HUGE 2 ft by 3 ft antistatic bag and put the pelican case in that...then I'll wear antistatic gloves and shoe wraps....then I'll probably be okay...I hope. (Yes we have gone over the edge on this one...lol)

@kritzresn My SD cards are in the little plastic cases they come with. Then I put 7 of them in a mini case and that sits in my Pelican. My question is really about storing small parts like allen wrenchs etc. in ziploc bags and placing those ziploc bags in my pelican. So would you suggest using the pink antistatic bags for allen wrench and other small parts that will be in the pelican case, or some other kind of bag/pouch?

@kritzresn, what you've said doesn't make any sense. First, most of the metal film shield bags have their metal layer sandwiched on the inside, not on the outside. And no matter where the metal is, just being conductive or acting as a Faraday cage doesn't make the bag any more likely to collect charge than any other bag. And these bags usually have antistatic and dissipative properties, meaning that they are less likely to collect charge in the first place and will dissipate charge once collected.

@matt_gh2, if your memory cards are kept in cases, they're not particularly vulnerable to ESD. The plastic is an insulator, and so is the air gap. Same for devices like cameras, thanks to their plastic enclosures. Antistatic and shielded bags are for shipping electronics with exposed components. They're not necessary for consumer electronics, and regular ziplock bags are not going to significantly increase the risk of ESD that could damage your equipment. If you are really paranoid, just be careful to not put your fingers near the electrical contacts of a memory card.

@kritzresn What kind of small bag would you recommend to put small parts in, that I can keep in Pelican case with SD cards? Thanks for information.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Thanks - will order some.

Any advice from the more experienced guys here would be greatly appreciated. Does putting regular ziploc bags in a pelican case cause static electricity that could hurt SD cards or camera that are also in the same case? Thanks in advance.
