 What would be your ultimate reed case?

What kinds of features would you want to see in your "dream reed case"? I mean, things like humidity control are assumed, but what else would make it perfect?

No glass - reeds supported securely up on their long edges.

Almost like a case for microscope slides?

I have a dream case. It's made for Muncy WITH glass and rare earth magnets for closure.

Of course I did replace the flaccid foam rubber that holds the reeds in place with a much firmer foam rubber and I coated the wood with polyurethane.

honestly, i don't really care that much about humidity control. I am unable to notice too much a of a difference. I REALLY like my kenkase cases. I ordered two from him a couple years ago, BEAUTIFUL wooden cases with glass, and I really like them! Recently I've been using the rico cases because they're so compact. ideally, my reed case would hold about 12 reeds, and have room for a few accessories. I'm talking wide enough for a pencil, and a reed knife, maybe some sand paper and things! that would be perfect...

Vandoren made a pretty good one when I was in my prime...not sure if they still do. It was blue and had the charcoal insert. It did a fair job. My private instructor had a nice wooden one with a velvet top on the inside and mirrored bottom.

Anything to protect the reed from getting warped would be my ultimate case!
