I found a small Tactix case in Bunnings yesterday that I've adapted to fit my small collection of old eyepieces such as Plossls, Ultimas, etc. The case comes as a twin pack for $11 so it's very cheap. The top section has removable dividers but the rest is fixed.
I also bought a couple of packs of adhesive EVA pads to create padding in each section of the case. I wasn't trying to make each eyepiece fit snugly, just to give a bit of cushioning.
My intention was just to have something that allows me to keep my old EPs together and make it easy to take them outside when I feel like some old school observing.
Eyepieces from top left to right are:
Celestron Silvertop Plossl 26mm
Celestron Ultima 35mm
Tele Vue Plossl 21mm
Astro Tech High Grade Plossl 12.5mm with shortened barrel
Meade Series 3000 Plossl 40mm
Meade Super Plossl 15mm
Celestron Ultima 18mm
Celestron Ultima 12.5mm
Here's a link to the case:
