DOT approved carrying cases

This might have been discussed before, so if so I apologize for asking again.

Do any of you have them? I have seen the ones that are for Zippos, but do other brands of lighters fit in them very well?

Some of them seem to be brand specific

Finally, where have you guys picked them up?

Thanks

I work in a shop that sells the Colibri one, it'll fit about any torch lighter, and TSA let's them right through as long as you put it in a checked bag.

The Otter Box case for Zippos is pretty brand-specific because of its design. The Colibri one should hold pretty much any torch.

Yeah, they're pretty big. Almost as big as a 15-stick Cigar Caddy, IIRC (although the shape is obviously different).

That's kind of large for a lighter case, even for one that holds two

I'm looking for something a little smaller if at all possible, or maybe I'll have to get one and use the Zippo when I travel

I appreciate the input gents

So maybe it's more along the lines of the size of a 5 cigar caddy?
