I'm looking for battery cases to protect my batteries.

I would like to find one that will fit the following:
-4-18650 batteries
-8 or 12-cr123a batteries
-8 to 12-14500 batteries
-8 to 12-10440 batteries

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. I found a place to get my cr123a case from but they had a fire and aren't taking orders for a while... Irony that a battery warehouse would catch fire...8-o8-o8-o

well lets see I got some cases from www.inanycase.com and got these:
for 8 14500 batteries: AA Battery Case - Smoke/ Black (On Sale!): inanycase.com - Memory Card Cases - Battery Cases
for 12 10440 batteries: AAA Battery Case - SM-BK ( Holds 12 -AAA Batteries): inanycase.com - Memory Card Cases - Battery Cases
the one for CR123s only hold 6...but they have others that might work..

the 18650s are harder...lighthound has some waterproof tubes but they only hold 2 in each...good part is that those are only 99 cents apiece..
I'd almost second the suggestion of a pelican case (I really like pelican cases in general) but the foam can be a pain and finding a pelican thats deep enough to hold all your batteries can be a pain.. for example lighthound has a cut foam insert for the pelican 1020 that will hold 24 cr123..but I dont think the case is tall enough on the inside to be able to hold the 18650 (4.5cm is only 45mm right?) otherwise I'd go that route and combine the CR123 and the 18650s in one case..anyway I'm rambing now..if you can find a pelican case that's tall enough just get the plain foam. Drill out a template for your batteries on a pair of thin pieces of wood the same size as the foam and use it with a hot knife or hot wire cutter to cut the foam.. it's a PITA though...BTW the pelican 1050 *should* be deep enough to fit the 18650 (with a whoping 5mm of clearance)...or lay em down and use the smaller holders to seperate the others and "nest" in the pelican

Thanks for the link! I just bought this:

That's because the summer is near and you will always find me sitting in a bar right in the middle of the pool.

With this, I can even take my GG and stuff around my neck for scuba diving!:D
