An apparatus and system are disclosed for storing an electronic memory card. The apparatus, in one embodiment, is a memory card holder configured to removably retain a memory card within the cavity of a housing. The memory card holder may include a housing that resembles a recognizable electronic device (such as a PDA, a digital camera, or the like) but is natively inoperative as an electronic device, a cavity formed within the housing, and a retaining mechanism positioned within the cavity to removably retain a memory card. The memory card holder may further include an aperture integrally formed in the housing for attaching the housing to an object, such as a key chain, bag, string, or the like.

What is claimed is: 1. An electronic memory card holder, the apparatus comprising: a housing having a shape and appearance of an electronic device selected from a personal digital assistant, a digital camera, an audio player, and a cellular phone, but natively inoperative as an electronic device; a cavity formed within the housing; a retaining mechanism positioned within the cavity, the retaining mechanism designed to removably retain a memory card within the cavity, wherein memory card dimensions do not exceed 42.8 millimeters by 36.4 millimeters by 3.3 millimeters; a plurality of partitions disposed within the cavity, each partition having at least one side wall and a planar member constructed of a non-static material; and wherein the partition further comprises a clip connected to the sidewall and configured to removably retain a memory card against the planar member and within the cavity. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an aperture integrally formed in the housing for attaching the housing to an object. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the plurality of partitions are stored side-to-side. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the clip is configured to frictionally engage memory cards of varying length, width and thickness. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the partition is removably connected to the housing. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the partition comprises a mounting hinged to a planar member. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the mounting comprising one or more slots for attaching the mounting to the housing. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the housing further comprises one or more protrusions configured to engage one or more slots in the partition. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises polypropylene. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the housing further comprises a non-static material. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the non-static material is Larostat HTS 905. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a first casing member attached to a second casing member, the first and second casing members having opposing sidewalls and a bottom wall. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein a sidewall of the first casing member is hinged to a sidewall of the second casing member. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising a securing mechanism configured to secure the housing in a closed position. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the securing mechanism connects the first casing member to the second casing member. 16. A system for storing an electronic memory card, the system comprising: a housing; a cavity formed within the housing; the memory card; and a plurality of partitions disposed within the cavity, each partition having at least one side wall, a planar member, and a clip connected to the sidewall and configured to removably retain a memory card against the planar member and within the cavity. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the memory card is selected from the group consisting of SIM cards, MMCs, SD memory cards, SmartMedia�� cards, memory sticks, Memory Stick Duo��, and xD�� cards. 18. An electronic memory card holder, the apparatus comprising: a housing having the shape of an electronic device selected from a personal digital assistant, a digital camera, an audio player, and a cellular phone, but natively inoperative as an electronic device, the housing comprising a first casing member hinged to a second casing member; an aperture integrally formed in the housing for attaching the housing to an object; a cavity formed within the housing; a plurality of partitions disposed within the cavity, each partition having at least one side wall, a planar member constructed of a non-static material, and a clip connected to the sidewall and configured to removably retain a memory card against the planar member and within the cavity, wherein memory card dimensions do not exceed 42.8 millimeters by 36.4 millimeters by 3.3 millimeters; and a securing mechanism configured to secure the first casing member to the second casing member in a closed position.
