When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

I was actually looking for a new case the other day for my wondermous ginormous pick set. Haven't found anything particular that I like just yet because I have SO, HPC, Peterson, LN21, Raimundo and some makeshift picks to load into it.
One of the things I was looking at, if you're looking for ruggedness, though a bit cluttered, would be an iPod pelican case. Talk about standing up under pressure!!!!

The velcro part of my tri-fold case is starting to get loose and I'll probably try to sew it up and mend it a little bit soon. But this is from using the case for work, as a hobbyist I doubt you'll run into problems like this too often.
I managed to put a small rip in mine the first week I had it. then the "made in india" bit fell off. trying to cover its tracks...
Yeah that india label just fell off of mines too.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Looks a bit unorganised though, dont you think? what if it was -20 degrees outside and you had to unlock the door but couldnt find your desired pick. Heh that would suck :s
Nah im jk, it looks prettu cool. Sorry bout the double post :s

I've been a member here for quite some time, haven't really posted much though. My pick collection is very small, but it's all I really need for all the picking I do. I made the case from leather I picked up at Hobby Lobby. Only one pocket, but it fits well in my back pocket whenever I take it with me.

It is a Peterson Tri-Fold that I bought from them about 3 or 4 years ago... Not sure if it is cow or lambskin, but it has held up extremely well and I have never found a better case IMO after several commercial and home-brew options I have had in the past...
