I had one of the cheap ones ( like craftright ) go a little mouldy once , looked to be that under the inserts is like a bonded cardboard that can take on a little
moisture over time .. long time ago but I'd still be a little suspect on putting pricey, need to stay dry , items in one .
I grabbed some cheapy cases but they didn't come with any foam inside. Does anyone know where you can get the foam cube and eggshell foam from? I've checked a few places online but it seems rather expensive, would be better off buying a case with the foam provided.

Clark Rubber aren't particularly cheap for the good stuff, but at least it's readily available and they will cut it to size for you with the right tool.
I picked up a black one from Morwell Bunnings today - plenty more there, though the quality is a step down from my older yellow version. It's still good enough to do the job, but any lower quality and I wouldn't buy it.
The moldings are rougher with some internal dags that need rubbing off and the seal at the front of the case is not as tight as the one on the yellow case.
It's a bigger case made from ABS. Craftright brand. 515L x 435D x 225H
Has purge valves for an airtight seal, ABS construction, egg shell foam in the lid, two layers of pluck foam, stainless steel hinge pins, O-ring seals and solid catches. Waterproof and airtight. Similar ones are $130.00 at Jaycar.
Takes all my accessories in one case instead of having two.
I thought the ones I saw at my local Bunnings for $89 were the same size as the $29 ones I bought last year. Might have to have another look and see if they are bigger. Hmmmmmmm...
