Go to SouthOrd's website at www.southord.com. They have some nice cases for picks under $20.00 US, you just have pay $4.95 US shipping, but I feel IMHO you'll get what you want.
South Ord is in Fla.

P.S.
In my last post, I had a period on the link which is not part of the address, it should read: www.southord.com

Thanks - I have a SouthOrd case but want something smaller and nicer. I think custom is probably the way to go for me.

Hey Romstar, what type of thread do you use for sewing your cases? I have been using a heavy duty upholstery nylon thread but it is pretty expensive. Also do you have any patterns for a small 5-8 pick zippered case?

I use a multi-strand nylon thread for my cases.
Aa for a pattern, it's pretty simple really. Let me see if I can find what I was using, and scan it in for you.
It's a double sided case. Holds 10 picks, and a few tension tools.
