What is claimed is: 1. A storage device for media cards, said storage device comprising: a protective enclosure and a media-card holder contained within said protective enclosure, said media-card holder having retainer means for adaptably reconfiguring a storage space so as to selectively provide at least two configurations of storage space, one configuration being adapted to securely hold a first media card having a first shape, and another configuration being adapted to securely hold a second media card having a second shape, said first shape being different from said second shape; wherein said retainer means comprises an outer frame and an auxiliary frame, wherein said auxiliary frame is removably insertable into said outer frame, and wherein, when said auxiliary frame is removed from said outer frame, said media-card holder provides storage for a first configuration of said media cards and, when said auxiliary frame is inserted into said outer frame, said media-card holder provides storage capability for a second configuration of said media cards, said first configuration including storage capacity for one or more of said media cards having said first shape and said second configuration including storage capacity for one or more of said media cards having said second shape. 2. The storage device of claim 1, wherein said retainer means includes said outer frame and a plurality of auxiliary frames, and wherein any number of said plurality of auxiliary frames is optionally insertable into said outer frame, thereby providing storage for multiple sub-configurations of said first configuration. 3. The storage device of claim 2, wherein said plurality of auxiliary frames encompasses two such auxiliary frames that are optionally insertable into said outer frame. 4. The storage device of claim 2, wherein said plurality of auxiliary frames encompasses three such auxiliary frames. 5. The storage device of claim 1, wherein said auxiliary frame further comprises a middle frame that fits within said outer frame and an inner frame that fits within said middle frame, wherein storage for said second configuration is provided when said middle frame is inserted into said outer frame and said inner is removed from said media-card holder, and wherein a third configuration of media card storage is provided when said inner frame is inserted into said middle frame, said third configuration including storage capacity for one of more media cards of third selected types of said various types of media card, wherein said third configuration includes at least one type of media card that is not included within said second configuration. 6. The storage device of claim 5, wherein said middle frame includes a plurality of middle frames and said inner frame includes a plurality of inner frames that corresponds in number to said plurality of middle frames. 7. The storage device of claim 5, wherein any number of said plurality of middle frames is optionally insertable into said outer frame, thereby providing storage for multiple sub-configurations of said second configuration. 8. The storage device of claim 7, wherein any number of said plurality of inner frames is optionally insertable into said plurality of middle frames, thereby providing storage for multiple sub-configurations of said third configuration. 9. The storage device of claim 1, wherein said protective enclosure is a clamshell case. 10. The storage device of claim 1, wherein said protective enclosure is a sleeve.
