I'm building something new and am looking for a container about the same size as a Mag Soliatre light, 3" long, 1/2" outside diameter. I found the match case by silva, but its too big around. The spy case from survivakeychain is close but I thought I would see if anyone knew of others.

I've seen this capsule at REI and Galyans. It's only 2" long(as opposed to the 3" you were looking for), but since it's only $2 or $3, I thought I'd throw it out there.

Chris.

PS-- Just to be completely nosey, what are you building?

There is a line of non reloadable uluminum cartridges that might work.

There are a multitude of cigar containers you might want to consider. I used to have one made into a fishing kit. With a little scotch 33 you can water proof it. The one I had was 3/4 inch in diameter and 4 1/2 inches long. But, like I said there are a multitude of sizes out there.
