the case they came in. 8)


If you're shopping for pick cases, just ask what we would recommend. I'm not a fan of folks posting a question, they saying Go! and sitting back watching 100 people reply. Orrrrr Search for the answer as this question has been asked before.


I carry my Bogota picks in my wallet, that's my favorite pick case for my pocket. My Peterson bi-fold pick case will fit in a jeans pocket, but not well, and it will fit in cargo shorts lower pocket just fine.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. =)

I did search a bit, but was having a hard time getting the results I was looking for. Basically I'm curious as to what people prefer for pocket carry, and in the process I was hoping to find a better one than my basic Southord foldover. I *hate* fishing for the tension wrenches, so I'm looking for something about that same size that has a different pocket for tension wrenches at the least.

I've heard really good things about the Peterson bi- and tri-folds, but they look a bit too big.

Thanks for the feedback! =)

I use an old leather zippered case that was originally for a manicure set. Not ideal but the price was right. I've heard people use those tubular cigAr cases, cell phone cases from dollar store, etc. I carry a keychain pick set for ultimate portability.

I got two of my tool pouches from southern specialties, the medium has the standard bifold places with two extra , smaller
fold out flaps that each have two more pockets for tension tools or what ever , a total of six pockets.
They are under ten dollars.

I got the large too, but it is a bit big for the pants pocket since you would not want to carry it in
the back pocket and sit on it.
Ok for a jacket though.
