I got a manual 510 and want a simple carrying case for it. All the cases sold online, including the PCC, require me to dis-assemble the 510 in order to carry it. Also, many of the other solutions I have seen are rather large and cumbersome (usb drive case for example). I use my 510 alot, especially while driving, and just want a case that I can put the 510 in whole without worrying about it's button being pushed and frying my atomizer. Something that would easily fit in my pant pocket would be preferable. I have a seperate case for my liquid and such just want something to put the 510 in. Anybody got any suggestions?

I was trying to work out something myself last night. I'm carrying 6 assembled 510's and it was getting messy and I kept losing them on the floor of my car. I had an iPhone sleeve that I didn't like for the phone, but it seems like it will work perfectly for this.

This is it:

(can't post links yet so add the usual stuff)

Dollar store! Complete with Foster-Grant reading glasses. They had all different colors. And, yes case plus glasses cost $1.00

The case holds 2 assembled 510s. It's felt lined, and even carrying 2 assembled 510s it won't push the buttons down.

I've tossed it in my purse, stuck it in the pocket of my jeans... works great. I'm going back to buy a bunch of them :)

I second the Cignot case. It's lightweight aluminum, has a clip like a pen, and is very strong so it protects the 510 in my jeans pocket. The felt lining is a nice touch. I got silver, but it comes in lots of colors, check it out: Ecig Case

Ps: consider picking up a no-box $35 starter kit for extra parts and a spare charger ;)

CaseLogic makes a 5.25" X 3.75" USB case good for liquid & ecigs:

They also have a diabetics case, that holds even more. I've also seen Vaultz pencil cases (which also lock) and eyeglass and dart cases have been recommended.

I'm not selling them yet, but will be selling 510/901/801 enameled metal designer cases in the very near future. They'll hold 2-6ml bottles and 3-5 fully assembled ecigs: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/polls/65232-custom-travel-cases.html

Keep an eye out!

Kristin - your custom travel cases are awesome! I love that they can be personalized too! They look beautiful, and wow - they carry juice and assembled e-cigs!

As far as the Hand-Sanitizer case, I had seen that thread while trying to find something to carry my 510 around in - It looks like a good idea! - but for me - I'm into the quick and easy instant gratification thing :)

For a buck, the case I'm using is metal, holds 2 assembled 510s, is felt lined, looks nice and sleek and is holding up great. Plus - I can never have too many pair of reading glasses - they're one of those things that just constantly disappear :lol:

Oh! The glucose monitor case - I have a bunch of them around in different colors! Drug reps used to hand them out by the boxful - complete with the monitors. It was one of the first things I grabbed out of the junk-drawer to organize my stuff in! I used to keep my iPod and chargers in one. They work great too for carrying around extras. Juice, tweezers, spare atties and batteries, assembled e-cigs...

I really like having the small hard case that I can pull my e-cig out of easily, it just works for me.

(sneaky hint - many companies will send you a glucose monitor and testing strips, in the snazzy case for free. They make their money on the testing strips, not the monitors. The meters and strips can be donated to a diabetic friend, your doctor's office, clinics, etc. or just tucked away in a drawer somewhere. If you know someone who works in a clinic or doctor's office - ask them if they have any at work. They usually have boxes full of them and could just grab you a zippy case or two. :)

I can't remember where I saw it, but when I saw somewhere they were actually selling the actual cases the glucose monitors come in it made me sad... because they're so easy to get for free)
