For filters I use the soft padded nylon filter cases that B&W sells. They have a smooth inside that is ok against the surface of the filter. The velcro closure is quick and easy to open, and stays securly shut. They also have a clear pocket on the outside to add a label to identify what is inside. I have several sizes of polarizers and two neutral density filters set up with these soft filter cases.
I don't really like hard filter cases. They could offer more protection from damage than a soft case, but they usually can open on their own, letting the filter out to get dirty or damaged.
For memory cards, I really like the card "wallets" that Think Tank sells. They two are nylon, and the larger ones hold up to 10 cards. They roll up into a nice package and have a velcro closure. There is a window on the outside to put a label in. on the inside, each pocket has a durable but transparent window, so that you can see any label on the card, and I make plenty of use of that feature. One part I really love is that they come with a little loop on one end, and a short "leash" with clips on each end. That allows me to secure the walet to my camera bag or my shirt pocket and reduce the chance of loosing the whole thing by accident.
The slight noise caused by velcro is not an issue for what I shoot, but if I was worried, I might get a fresh card out in advance, and keep it in a shirt pocket, and then swap out using that card. It is also practical to not close the velcro, and just keep the flap tucked in, and then keep the whole thing in a pocket to keep it closed, which would avoid noise.
