Interesting. The case I referred to sounds somewhat like the glove case
you refer to, but it has a pocket only big enough for one card (and
barely that, it's very flat -- business cards fit okay) and access
to both PCMCIA slots, and no handstrap. The "storage for two cards"
thing is puzzling, because otherwise the description matches. I'd
never be able to put two cards into the pocket without stacking them
and stretching the leather so much that only one card in it would be
constantly at risk of sliding out.
