Lots of alternatives

I've kept my 1.25" eyepieces in one of those plastic organizer cases you buy from the hardware for many years. I line each compartment with foam rubber and put two eyepieces in the bigger compartments separated by a piece of foam.

There is a post in another forum where the guy ran over his eyepiece case with his car. These won't withstand that sort of treatment. But if you aren't planning to drive over your eyepieces, the organizers or a small plastic tool box work well.

Go to a rubber merchant and buy some high density foam or try the deliveries room at your work.

I saw a storage box at Bunnings last weekend that was about the size of a beer carton and had an organizer for a lid. You could store bigger things in the box and eyepieces up top in the organizer lid. Looked like the organizer detaches.
