case for storing Légère Euro reeds

I have recently started using Légère's European cut reed and am getting good results from it. They recommend on their website that the reeds be stored flat but without putting pressure on the tips. I asked them what case they would recommend. They didn't want to recommend a brand, but did say some of their artists use Protec or Rico cases. But all the cases I've found in both these brands seem like they'd pinch the tips. Légère did suggest storing on glass, and I've found a couple of cases (with mixed reviews, mostly on hinge or faux leather quality) by Aibay and DN that have a flat glass storage bed. A comment on the DN case says you slide the tip under a small edge of foam. It seems like that would hold it in place without putting too much pressure on it, but without seeing it in person it's hard to be sure.

I've just bought a couple more Légères to rotate, and having this much invested in the reeds I don't want to blow it by storing them wrong. I thought before ordering I'd ask here for advice. Can anybody recommend a specific case that you know works well with the Légère Euro cut reeds? Thanks much!
