That looks like a good case to me. I just bought a case myself, I wanted one like that but not too expensive. I ended up buying the most expensive one I found! What the hell was I thinking, $130.31 for a Pelican storm case im2200. I could have spent that money to build another laser. Oh well at least now I have a case that is water tight and can lock and is nearly indestructible.

Fighter, you can always make your own case out of a suitcase and other materials you can buy at the store for dirt cheap. Maybe give it a try? :)

PS: Above recommendations looks excellent though.

I've found that cheap aluminum sided padded "gun cases" work pretty well for my lasers. The case I got off fleabay for my pointers works quite well for small laser but there's not a chance in hell I'd actually use it as a gun case. I bought another larger, better quality one to keep my HeNe tubes in. It looks like they've changed the the locks a bit since I bought it but this is the one I use for my HeNe tubes.

The tough yet spacious aluminum gun case for short rifles, 6 - 8 pistols, Romanian Draco AK 47 Pistols

I do need to find one more case to keep my 2W home built 445nm, CNI 589 and JL 473 since they won't fit in either case.

I can try to take some pics later this week if anyone cares.

FWIW I just keep the batteries in my lasers since there's nobody in the house under 18.

Wow $130! Unfortunately I live in Canada so the case that I want with shipping ends up being $75:yabbmad: I'm still thinking about it. Maybe all get it once I own a few more lasers.

Yeah up until now I just left them on the table and some in a cardboard box but now that I have a good collection of lasers and accessories I decided I need something to keep most of it in.

Very cool, good price. I may get one to hold my Star Trek host mods!

You should have a special one just for those. Be sure to find some kind of Star Fleet or Federation sticker to put on the outside of the case.

Excellent idea Alan! I'll see if I can find a big StarFleet sticker for one side and a United Federation of Planets (UFP) sticker for the other side!

I also use the so called aluminum "gun case" for mine also, the ones I use are "Red Head" brand, which were purchased at "bass Pro Shop".
These seem to be a pretty good quality case, when compared with some others that I've considered.

Here's a couple of older pics of mine.
