Review: Elite CardGuard

About.com Rating 4.5

By Wayne Kawamoto, About.com

You know you're a magician when you want to protect and maintain your playing cards. For this, Elite CardGuard is a card case that's made from lightweight and sturdy aluminum that offers excellent protection for your cards. The sleek and classy guard also looks great and will probably impress your friends and audiences.

Guarded State

I’ve used metal guards for my cards in the past, but I found them to be heavy. The CardGuard is made of a lightweight aluminum that hardly adds any weight, yet does a great job of protecting your cards and card box. The case completely encloses your deck of cards and a hinged lid swings up so you can access them.

The case comes in “Silver,” a brushed aluminum finish, and an impressive black. Both have an attractive spade logo that’s etched on the cover and durable finishes. I thought that this box would be scratched up in no time after throwing it into my close-up kit. But after a busy weekend, it still looks great despite being banged around at my restaurant gigs.

In all, Elite CardGuard cases are a class act.
