Anyone come across a half decent case for storing 2 or 3 18650's I've seen nice little plastic cases from Soshine for AAA's, AA's and CR123s - but not 18650s. I'm loathed to allow these things to roll around in my tool kit without somesort of case!
 
Be careful which ones you buy. I have the clear "Keep2Go" tubes and none of them are wide enough to hold 18650's. They work great with 123's and 17670's. I have been informed that the blue colored tubes are larger for some reason and will hold 18650's but I cannot personally confirm that.
 
I use single snap lid tubes from McMaster-Carr

B) Translucent Polypropylene with Hinged Snap-Outside Lid



They work GREAT fitting one 18650 perfectly.... 10 for $5.40....go to http://www.mcmaster.com/
and type in the part# 5274t67

This is all helpful stuff - thanks everyone. Being in England I don't know if those keep2go tubes exist. But I might well try and find a Brit alternative to those little tubes.

I just bought 4 Keep2Go tubes.
Clear and green have smaller inner diameter and they are good for CR123.
Blue and light blue inner diameter is bigger and fit 18650.
