Probably the lightest case available is the Buffet "pouchette" case,
which comes in both a single and double case configuration. I haven't
seen one lately, but the ones they sold 10 years ago had a shoddy
clasp mechanism which was prone to break after several years of
use. If it didn't break, then it was still more likely than
other closure mechanisms to pop open unexpectedly due an in-
complete "catch" between the two halves of the case. Perhaps
Buffet has since revised this design to make it more robust
and secure. Clark? What do the ones you sell look like now?
