Just got a lee setup, but I'm finding the filter cases that come with the filters are way to big to shove into a slingshot 100 (for a travel tip across China).
Do you guys have any recommendations for a very thin filter wallet that will hold 4x6 filters? Lee has a thin looking one that holds 6 filters, but it's gonna cost me about 80 bucks to import it to Canada, way more than I want to spend on a mere case (I can almost by an entire Lee fiter for that price!)
Thanks!

Not sure if the Lee filters will fit, but for my Singh Ray grads I use a hard cover CD/DVD case. Just pop the filters in the sleeves. About 8 bucks at a computer store.

This MAY work for you, but its going to be more bulky. Walmart, K-Mart etc are selling back to school supplies now. They have these nice little plastic boxes made for kids pens & pencils. Cost in US is usually about $2.00
You may find packaging for something or another that works. Jumbo band-aid box, womens cosmetic case, who knows? If you buy the filter, what kind of packaging does it come with right from the start? Could you reinforce taht ww/ tape or wrap a bit of bubble wrap around it?
I'm a packrat and an improvisor, love to re-purpose common things any way I can.
