I have the same case. It's great. I just lock the card, and turn it backwards when full.

Locking the card is a good plan, but the trouble with the simple 'turn it backwards when full method' (which I confess was the first thing that came to my mind as well), is that if you have a couple of cards come loose from both sides, the 'full' and 'empty' loose ones are now facing the same way!

Want to know what my final solution was?

(apart from never swap cards in the first place!!)

Have two card containers, each clearly identifiable/labelled  as to which has the 'empty' cards, and which holds the full ones. Simples.
