Its not the cash value of the heatsheet that I am protecting, its the life saving value.
My point is, how much weight and bulk are you adding for what level of protection, and at what point does it just make more sense to carry 2+ heat sheets? Just something to consider. =)

And I am hoping that the container will fit tightly enough to not increase bulk enough to say so. Right now, I am making a kit with a empty plastic 16oz. peanut butter jar that my heatsheet bivy fits into perfectly.

You may not believe this but I just woke up from a dream where I was removing my AMK heatsheet from an unused water bottle. I have to stop visiting this site, it's invaded my subconscious. But in keeping with the multi use school of thought, perhaps a cheap bike bottle, wide mouth, maybe an old Nalgene you have laying around.
In my dream, it was a camelback bottle.

Assuming the Heatsheet is to be used in a emergency situation, I don't really understand why you would really need to find the perfect container for it. Mine came in a sealed vinyl pouch which sounds adequate enough? I can easily imagine myself tossing the Heatsheet out after use, or if it's still usable I'd try folding it back and just store it in a sandwich size Ziploc and put a rubber band around it. My 2 cents.

I know the origional post requested a hard plastic case, but... http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/p16__239157_Business_Supplies_10051_true_SEARCHStaples has the Caselogic compact harddrive cases on sale this week for $10. They normally go $15-20 depending on where you shop. They will hold the heatsheet and then some- Airballrad uses one to carry a Heatsheet, PSP and Pocket Medic along with a few other tiny toys IIRC.

Thanks for the ideas guys. Right now I am toying with a kit with the heatsheet bivy as the focal point. I am using a empty plastic 16.oz peanut butter jar as the container. The jar works good as a water bottle too!
