Just stumbled upon this offer and want to share. Looks like reliable sturdy plastic pouches with an eyelet. And the price is great. Took 2 sets to organize and protect small items in my pockets and bags. http://www.ebay.com/itm/371080858808
or even cheaper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-5Pcs-Waterpr...e-/151893251609

You'll have to do a torture test this weekend to see how they hold up! Let us know the results!

Will do! But they were shipped from China (a.f.a.i.k.t.). They're also having a Christmas/NY rush, no doubt, but not our mailing technologies yet. So, most likely - somewhere at the end of January. In fact, most likely, they are similar to the p&s camera bag I have bought from B&H about 10 years ago. It holds perfectly fine still (but surely it was not riding in the pocket every day).

Nice find and thanks for sharing

Got 10 of these packets.

The good:
They are as sturdy as I've expected, self healing slightly stretchy plastic in front is great - easy to stuff things tight, but the true wear and tear test is in progress (back pocket of the pants with some metal stuff inside of the pack), as I have some doubt in the side seams between 2 different plastics (on the front and on the back). The metal ring is good, but sits loosely - also needs some testing on a lanyard. Also I like that the plastic is softening a lot in hot water, so I was able to fold the top to my pocket size and the sharp enough crease persists in place nicely when cooled down.

The bad:
They are not waterproof, obviously leaking at the closure when the pressure inside builds up. Splash proof at max, as there is a lip similar to the one on DR PSK pouch. The quality is inconsistent: 5 packs are perfect, 5 of a different tint having permanent wrinkles (fixed to some extent by heating with hair drier and stretching over the cold stone of my countertop).

But for the price ($2.60), I think, I've got a good enough option to organize my pockets stuff holding it flat in place.

Update: forgot to try the vacuum packing, the zip-lock seal looks polarized, there is a chance I'm dealing with a manufacturing error (upside down installation).
