Nice work on the tie sheath, I usually have a money belt with a zippered pouch along the length of the inside of the belt that I have been trying to figure out how to fit picks in without them bulging obviously through the material. For the moment I have a camera bag that all my service tools and NDE tools travel in safely. (Padded camera bag protects my micrometer and verniers from damage).

I just got a great case from autozone for $12.95, it was labled as a tool or cellphone case. It measures 5 in tall by 3 in wide by 1 1/4 in deep,
but the pockets are bellows type expandable so they could hold a lot of tools, possibly a tubular tool too. Made of thick nylon, black.
It is for smartphone sized phones and has 3 separate pockets inside with a fold over flap and velcro closure.
the inside pockets are the same width,the middle holds the standard size picks and the one in front of that one holds the tension tools ,
the one in back is only one inch deep but hold a set of mini jigglers for padlocks and file cabinets and such.
Has a belt clip that is removable so you can take it off the belt and easily put it back on without hassle.
As time goes by tools seem to multiply and this case fits the bill for me, maybe take a look next time you are in an auto zone or other type store and see if it suits your needs too.

Tutorial and more pics here; the images are too large to post them all I'm afraid.

Nicely done, but if you are caught in the wrong place and wrong time, you could get in trouble with them on you.

I did not see an edit option so I am trying this instead.
The name of the pouch I got is "andriod tough case" and cost $12 .
I might take some pics when I get it organized.
I saw that southern specialties has a couple that are set up for lock picks and only cost $16 or less though. I would have gotten their best case if I had seen that first.
May still get one anyway, but for now I will make the best of this one, I can wear it on my belt and folks will just see a smart phone case.
