Finally bit the bullet and bought some Lee grad filters (ouch!)

I've left them in the 3 filter fleece type wrap they came in and put them in the padded lowepro filter pouch that's strapped onto the side of my camera backpack, there a Big Stopper, Polariser and filter holder in there as well so its tightly packed so nothing will rattle around

Bloomin paranoid now anything will happen to them though!

What's everyone else who has these filters done to keep them safe and secure?

I bought the lee starter kit which came with a pouch/bag to keep them in. Polariser was the same coming with a material pouch. I just keep these inside my camera bag,
 
I bought the Lee "tin box" to keep my Big stopper in, keep the rest in exactly the same way as you and never had any problems, although they're inside my backpack in a custom made padded insert that holds all my camera gear

I spent too much money trying to find a solution - I kept my grad set in the afformentioned fleece type pouch within one of the 3 slots in the starter kit 3 filter pouch:

I found that solution far too cumbersome when out and about as I had to take the fleece pouch out unravel it and get the filter out, rince and repeat for putting it back in, so I settled on the 10 filter wallet - it is very handy but it is bulky and I only fill it with 5 filters at the moment.

I was always worry about my filters to be broken, even when i used that 10-filters pouch, so then i bought a Pelican small hard case but deep one, it was nice but the foam inside limited me to 2-3 filters, so i kept looking for another option and finally i found it, it is great, i placed 10 filters inside all at once, couldn't be happier, and this is that case i am talking about:

I am looking for to buy another one just for filter holder and adapter rings and/or step up/down rings.
