I'm sure there are some cases out there, but for cheap, tape over the contacts, use one zip-lock per battery, or keep the original package.

Check the electronics section at K-Mart for the zippered, nylon cases for storing electronic media, memory cards. I've had great luck finding some for under $5 that hold 6-8 CR 123 batteries, w/ belt loops or the ability to attach a lanyard. I've found several that would hold a number of 9 volt cells perfectly and safely. I've looked elsewhere, like Target, Wal-Mart, but K-Mart had the best selection, cheapest too.
Good luck.

If it doesn't have to be as flat as possible, they'll fit in a 35mm film can.

If you know someone who uses industrial bulk packages of 9v batts, like a tech in a concert hall or a theater where wireless mics are plentiful, the batts come with a small plastic contact cover that must be removed before use. They usually have dozens scattered in the equipment cabinet and they are reusable essentially forever.
Or you could just buy a 10 or 12 battery industrial pack one time and keep the contact covers as you use them up. They are cheaper that way too.
