Has anybody come up with a case to store springboard modules in?

I have 5 different modules and it's a pain caring them around. I usually leave them in the glovebox of my car so that I have them with me at all times, but I was wondering if there was some sort of organizer/case for the modules.

I found this but this http://www.nyko.com/html/80134.html which would work for standard modules but for the oversized modules like the Handspring modem or the EyeModule2 this is useless.

Any ideas?

I use the GB cases for the standard-size SBs, too -- I'll bet a lot of us do.
Outsize SBs are another kettle of fish, of course.
I'm sure you know the EM2 comes w/a "tin" for your SB (and EM1 came w/a little "magic bag").
But I know these don't seem to cut it.
As I only have 2 SBs right now, leaving the EM2 inside at all times & carrying the mem. SB is okay for now.
But, sure, I can see carrying a few to be a bigger prob.
It seems like a perfect niche for someone to come up w/some kind of "universal design" case(s) / pouch(es) / pocket(s) ... something.
Otherwise, I guess you just have to assign diff. jacket pockets for diff. SBs for now. (Hey, watch that glovebox; every type of media is known to fry in their on a warm, sunny day, of course....)

I saw one the other day on Ebay that would be perfect! It was about the size of a PDA maybe a little outsize. It had straps for spare batteries and compact flash cards. I thought it might be just right for a few modules, spare batteries etc.

I use the GB cases and a small binder I got at Wal-Mart. I
used velcro on the inside covers and put velcro on the GB
cases. I put velcro on my minijam, eyemodule2, YadaYada
modem and Targus voice recorder. I keep the headphones for
the minijam in the plastic pouch in the binder. I has a loop
for a large multi-function stylus. Works great.

More than just the plastic GB cases...

I mentioned this in a thread long ago (3 months?) in the accessories area: look for a branded GameBoy carrying case that fits the Visor sideways on the bottom with a back pocket to hold a Stowaway and a top compartment that will hold 4 regular size modules in the little plastic BG cartridge cases, or 6 without the cases. I got mine at Fred Meyer for $17 including a 6 pack of the plastic cases, and I'm sure others can find them at Target, Wal Mart, etc. As for oversize modules, I have an EM1 that I keep in the top compartment with room underneath the EM overhang for a 4 pack of AAA batteries, right next to a backup mod and a SoundsGood (with a set of earphones tucked in the pocket with the Stowaway!) Plus, when I get a Prism, I can appreciate the extra irony of the otherwise unobtrusive logo on the black canvas case: "GameBoy Color"

Hey, I like these solutions.
I just picked up one of the newly-cheap modem SBs, and now I've decided to seriously look for something that can inc. everything.
I remem. your GB color post now, having read it way back when, but not having enough SBs to make use of it at the time. Thanks for the re-post of the data.
Hope the GB logo doesn't get me the boot /
as where I work, they wear (mostly) 3pc. suits!
