I was at Meijer store (a midwest regional grocery superstore chain) and found these sanitizers for 99 cents. I don't care about waterproofing (until I drop it in a toilet or something LOL), but I do want something to hang around my neck. I've had it with getting in the house after an outing and having to tear up the earth searching for it. I realize I should be able to keep track of important stuff, it just doesn't seem to happen lots of times. Maybe because my purse is a black hole--stuff goes in and is never seen again. I'm using those handy holes in the cap to string a cord through and hang around my neck. Not a lot different than the "idiot mittens" your mom used to string through your coat sleeves so they'd come home with you. These are perfect!

Oh man this is brilliant! Picked up one of these at the Walgreen's across the street, fit like a glove. First thing I did was screwed it all up with my inferior spray painting skills. Went back and bought a 5 pack, some sandpaper and some proper plastic paint. Put 3 coats on it and left for 18 hours. Just pulled it out, wetsanded it a bit and slapped another coat on it, it's looking mighty nice. I found a green that comes pretty close to matching the cap (i like the translucency) at walmart. I'll post a pic after the final coat dries.

I found these at CVS in a 3 pack for $4.99. No sanding needed with these, the graphic is a decal that can easily be peeled off. Pic below ... ready for painting in seconds.

I cut the stock carts.
I heard that some people had issues with the end cap popping off and being a hazard. So I used a paperclip to remove it. I saw that there was more space in there so i trimmed it off. Then there was another disk that came out followed by more space so i kept cutting till i saw the two vents. Not they are really short.
Now I fit 3 attys with carts in my PCC

I like the, though slightly, smaller size and they fit in my new modded carry case.

The only thing you have to watch out for is over filling your carts. There is no buffer between the atty and your mouth. Be careful.

I used the container from reading glasses bought at walgreens. I cut a strip of foam from my original box, and can put ready to use on one side and spare battery on the other side with foam in the middle. I placed a small pieece of the foam in the lid, and can store an extra cart there. The extra cart has to mach up with spare battery so lid will go on all the way. They come in different colors styles also. I am new and cannot post a pic but here is the page on walgreens.com. If someone could post the pic for me
