3 pack of sunglass cases ($9.99) from amazon:

3 pack of microfiber pouches ($6.59) from amazon:

1 Dunhill Cumberland (or pipe of your choice):

Assemble thusly:

Zip shut for protective goodness:

Bonus microfiber polishing cloths (4 total):

I bought these with keeping a couple of pipes in my camper in mind but this worked well enough I feel comfortable putting a pipe in my vehicle console and/or glovebox when going to a friends house or traveling.
The cases will even hold my Savinelli Qandale 602 with the stem removed.
Neither pipe seemed to slide/move around inside the case much.

Very nice idea.If you take your pipes with you as you travel, this is a very inexpensive option.

That's a cool idea! I'm going to pack a couple of pipes like this to keep in my work locker for rush days. :clap:

Now that's a brilliant idea. I'll be rummaging around in the dresser drawers cuz I know I have at least a couple of cases I've tossed in there and never used. Better than the socks I sometimes employ.

This is a smart idea. Definitely good for those pipes we like to leave someplace like the car.

I like that they are generic, as opposed to some high-fashion sunglass case with a logo.

Neat idea. Unfortunately, my spectacle cases are too small for my pipes: only the Quixx fit.

Those hard-shell foam cases are great. I use one for air travel. Mine holds five pipes, this ran about $15 delivered on Ebay.

This is all I have used for years. I had a pipe in a Maui Jim case in my backpack when my friend drove over it a while back. Pipe was fine.

I think I need to try these out. Hard shell cases seem to me a lot saver then your usual soft leather bags, especialy for fligths when you have no Idea how your luggage is handled.

Yep, I have a nice Smokin Holsters leather bag, but that hardshell foam case offers better protection. It goes in my large briefcase/carry-on. In the summmer, it goes in a hardshell cooler (also a carry-on), which then gets beach use.

I used this toiletry bag on my recent vacation. I fit 3 small jars and two pipes with essentials.
