Hi dulridge,
Could you please give some more information about your 18650 keepers?
Material, closing and durability... maybe some more pictures 🙂
Thanks,

Sure - material feels like polypropylene - not sure what the recycling codes are, but this has the code 05 inside the recycling arrows and says PP below - they are made by Raaco in Denmark under the name Pocketbox. What sort of pics do you want? I cannot find them in Raaco's website or their US parent company's website.
They cost me £1.99 (US$4, 2.63 euros, 21.41NOK - the NOK has depreciated horribly since the only time I've been in Norway - in 1975) each from my local Maplin store which currently has none of them but will doubtless get them in shortly. If not, their minimum mail order is £35 and there is postage on top of that - 20- of them would cost me £42.80 or thereabouts,
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=32807&criteria=Pocket Box&doy=12m2 The catalogue picture is terrible though. The hinge is the same (probably) polypropylene as the case but they are durable enough, some of the ones I have are two years old and still haven't come apart. They have a removeable tray which holds 17670/5/4A cells quite happily. There is a headspace of about 7-8mm with 18650 cells.
It shouldn't be expensive to post these as they weigh very little - it cost £2.46 to post two of them to Australia (Most of that weight was probably packaging) to Norway would almost certainly be quite a lot cheaper.
Since Norway is not in the EU, import duties may be an issue. I have no idea what import duties are in Norway (but I imagine they are very, very high. However, most countries have a duty free amount in the post. For the UK it is £18) or when the limits hit but PM me with declared values for postage - whatever suits you.
Hope this helps

I found these two holders which look good, just need a little foam in the top.
