Lots of good ideas. I like the pelican cases and recently picked up some cigar caddies. Should work well.

So are there any official, if you are willing to pay the $$ solutions for carrying mics in small bags? What do boom operators keep their Schoeps CMC6/mk41 in when not running, for example? The wooden Schoeps box? Or is it assumed they have other bags with them accommodating bigger cases?

With all the bags and cases Porta Brace makes, I see nothing aimed at what we're discussing here. Why is that? Hobbyist tapers aren't a big market but I would think some pros would have similar needs at times.

Cigar caddy now has a model for 5 cigars...will easily hold the 150s & 184s...very cool! I forgot about the caddies. Now they have colors camouflage etc as well.

I have a mix of small Otterboxes, Pelicans and Cigarcaddies.  Keeps them quite secure.

Bingo.
