[photo-3d] Realist format slide cases

I've come across some clear plastic cases that seem tailor made
for Realist format slides, and am wondering if they might be of
interest. While a picture is worth 1000 words, I don't have one
yet.
They are clear styrene, robustly made, with inside dimensions
approximately 105 x 152 x 43 (millimeters). They hold about
46 RBT mounts snugly, or about twice that number of
cardboard mounts. The interior width allows RBT mounts a few
millimeters of side to side play, so even the largest glass
mounts in binders should fit comfortably. The boxes have
molded lids that fit nicely, with a band extending about halfway
down the outside, but there's no seal or interference fit, so a
rubber band or a bit of tape is recommended for transit.
For Brackett Fader owners, a pair of these boxes fits the
inclined tray just perfectly when their lids are off. Of course the
boxes can be stacked, but they have no feet or dimples that
would nest them together.
They cost about $1.00 each here in Kyoto, and there's no
quantity discount available, unfortunately. I don't know how
long they will continue to be available, so I'm going to get a
bunch to be on the safe side. I'm using the inexpensive Cabelas
Plano 3700 polyethylene cases for some storage, and of course
archival storage pages have a different set of virtues. But these
styrene boxes are super for carrying a set of slides to a
meeting, or using with a hand viewer.
