I bought a Selmer case first sememster last year, and I really like it.
(although I wanted the Harrison, too) I can fit 11 or 12 reeds in it with
no problem. Generally, they stay in place pretty well, but a couple of
times I've put them in dry and then opened the case quickly the next day,
only to have all 10 or 11 reeds go crashing to the ground. Generally, I
put them in and press them down with my thumb. It keeps them in place
pretty well. As far as where to keep it, I have a Buffet case cover, and I
just slide it into the outside pocket--it fits well and is easy to get to.
