I think my choice of reed case will be Roger Garrett's. After looking around on his site a few minutes ago, I realized it seems to be about the same as a wiseman case (as far as capacity and basic premise goes), however is less expensive, AND you can request whatever wood you like. From oak, to maple, to rosewood, to (probably going to be my choice) aromatic cedar. Then my reeds will all smell GREAT (instead of smelling like day old saliva. Yuck.)

[EDIT]basic price at time of writing this post is $25 with $5 shipping for oak and maple. Special wood means special order which probably means special price, but still, compare that to $35 for a wiseman case and you'll probably STILL make out.
As for when I'll be getting one, well, my birthday is coming up over the summer so I'm making my 'clarinet product wish-list' as we speak. That way my friends/family can just take a look at a copy of the pre-printed list of clarinet stuff that I want (and cross-reference them with places to order them from, whether it be WWBW or a certain website/mail order catalogue) and just pick and choose what to get me, how many want to go in on the gift, etc. That way they can be satisfied knowing that I will REALLY like whatever they get me, and I'll be satisfied getting some of the stuff I need. Everyone wins! (Well, mostly me since it'll be MY B-day!)
