Component hard case

This Is a very simple and practical project I put together after working on my projects at Uni. My problem was that travelling to and from school my components would usually be kept in a zip-lock back and then placed in my bag where they would get squashed and bent (IC's in particular due to the fragile pins).

Using a cheap cigarette case I got from the $2 shop I added some anti-static foam to secure my IC's, transistors, LED's and what ever else I have. 

A small zip-lock bag stored under one of the elastic bands can also be used to hold resistors or other flat long components.     

Step 1 Tools/ Materials

Tools:
     Ruler
     Craft knife
     Cutting board
     Glue (any general purpose glue will do)  

Materials:
     Cigarette case
     Anti-static foam
     Small zip-lock bag

Certainly good for electrical engineering classes! People keep losing components! Maybe I'll make a case that can also hold my breadboard.
