Just got my Petzl Zipka: it didn't come with a case or container. Anybody have any ideas? I keep in a snack-sized baggie, but would like something that fits better to protect the lens and casing.

BTW, the Zipka is really small, and the cord looks very flimsy, but who knows how it will hold up. If you want a compact LED headlamp mostly for home or car emergencies, this is the one, but for work or cave exploration, a banded headlamp like the Tikka would be better.
 
Petzl does make a belt/pack pouch for Zipka and Tikka:

I like using sunglass cases made from neoprene (thin wetsuit material). These are very soft and won't scratch lenses and the neprene provides excellent protection from knocks & bumps.

Unfortunately they don't seem all that easy to find. But when I find one, I usually buy it because there's always something that needs protective storage. Sometimes Walmart has them for about $3
