What 10 plus count reed case is nice? I'm looking for a wooden case preferably.

Roger Garrett in Bloomington, Ill. makes nice wooden reed cases in various sizes. I certainly like mine.

Muncy Reed Case is a real winner. It latches closed using rare earth magnets (strong but easy to wedge open with thumb). Stores five reeds per side (put them in butt side against the hinges of course).
I did have issues with it once I put it in a plastic bag to preserve moisture, but a judicious coating of polyurethane fixed that right up.

P.S. One of the advantages of the Muncy design is that it takes up a smaller footprint and can fit inside many cases (it does mine).

I'm a fan of the rico vitalizer cases. 10 reeds, and humidity controlled via packs. Works well for my cane reeds.

OP: It's clear for context that when you speak of a nice case, you refer to one of notable design/craftsmanship..and that's perfectly fine. The suggestions above certainly address your query.
But allow me for a moment to redefine "nice" here as the kind of case that maximizes the playable of the content (reeds) it protects. While you may already be doing this, or simply not subscribe to this idea, I have found that humdification of reeds in storage helps towards that end.
And while Paul, with the help of polyurethane, has found a way for you to have a snazzy case, and humidify your reeds, my best case has been a plastic box from the Container Store, small enough to fit in most instrument cases, that holds 2 humidity packs and about 20 reeds in Vandoren plastic reed guards.
Food for thought....
