What do you commonly use to travel with your cards? Do you bring a couple decks in card boxes or use pocket pages with a 3-ring binder? How about home storage? Is it common to play with sleeves?
Best Storage/Transportation
Sleeves are common, and all but ubiquitous at events. Granted, most players are careful with their cards, but whereas in most CCGs even the most gentle player can still accidentally damage an unsleeved card, if that happens in this game you've effectively lost six cards.
Sleeves are required for tournament play.
I use a binder with 3x3 pocket pages. I have been debating switching over to Broken Token's insert.
Oops, forgot about the tournament rule!
As to the topic question, though, I second both of JKoellner's recommendations. One advantage of 3x3 binders is that they allow you to see the makeup of each objective set at a glance, without removing the cards from anywhere. This is helpful for organization, and it trims deckbuilding time to a fraction of what it would otherwise take. (I prefer to reduce this further by having everything sleeved in the binder, but it's optional.)
I use a 3x3 binder but shove all 6 cards into one card holder. Makes deck building fast and keeps the collection organized.
I sttarted to keep all my cards sleeved and in a binder but I realised that I'd need another £8 worth of card holder pockets to store everything just upto it binds all things so I've decided to order a nice little metal case for £16.99 which has two rows (one for light side, one for dark side) with dividers for the factions and each row holds upto 500 sleeved cards
I used to have my card in a binder so it would be easy to have an overview of what cards are in a pod and make my choises that way while constructing my decks. However, I found it was really tedious to constantly switch pods in and out of the binders while playing around with constructing different decks. And I like constructing different decks because what else to do with all those cards that aren't competition-level killer objectives?
So I went back to putting my cards (sleeved from the moment I opened the package) in a Core-box and using some cardboard deviders not unlike the above linked triplex inserts (boy, am I tempted to buy those. Looks more stury than my cardboard arts 'n' crafts project) which makes it a lot easier to swap objectives.
Of course, that meant I lost the ease of quickly seeing which cards were available in each pod; especially the pods I didn't use too often ... talk about catch 22.
So I recently worked out a solution to that problem. I printed contact sheets of all objectives sets, putting 3 sets on one landscape oriented page or 6 on a Portrait oriented page *. I then cut the sheets by Objective set, so I now have a stack of reference sheets that have one objective set each, and which I can easily use to construct a deck. I can see at a glance how many damage I have in each unit, how many resources, fate cards, average cost of each unit, etc.
I think this is so far the most effective way I could think of to combine the ease of having an at-a-glace overview of each pod with the ease of having all cards easily available without the need of rotating them in and oud of binders.

* The images on the "Portrait" oriented pages are a lot smaller so it's not as easy to read the text on each card, but that's usually not a problem because the important effects, I already know. The advantage of that lay-out of course is that it uses up less paper (and less ink)
