I'm glad you brought this up Lui. It's been on my mind until I read the same verbiage, coming from you, that I too read at the Legere site in days past:
"the reeds be stored flat but without putting pressure on the tips."
All this means, I strongly suspect, is that the very tip of the reed, i.e. the top rounded edge, not the tip section of the reed (an AREA examined from above or below), shouldn't hit up against any object, in storage or otherwise.
I don't think the people at Legere have any issue with you putting downward pressure on the tip section of a reed, as is common to any reed holder that exerts downward pressure to keep the reed from falling out.
(Many think *cane* reeds should be stored upside down to a flat surface.)
I think any reasonable reed holder is fine, including the plastic cases that Vandoren's are packaged in.
I certainly don't think, to turn this into a visual, you need to go to the jewelry store to get some of that foam they sit the loop portion of rings in while on display, using it instead to grab only the butt end of your Legeres, that otherwise are stored vertically.
If I'm wrong, I think Legere might have told you what reed storage cases to NOT use. Still more, I have had no problem using either of the reed cases I discuss above.
