Now make it big enough to accommodate full sets and depend on price I would probably buy several. I wouldn't be too concerned with color as long as I could see what is inside easy enough, so while it does look nice I don't think I would like dark things like the smoked. Better to see what is in it without having to open it up.

Personally, I would prefer to hear about options like pricing and sizing. (EG what would it cost to produce and ship a 104-key ANSI or ISO keyboard container-organizer, a TKL organizer, a modifier organizer, a 37-key, etc.)

All that fussing over colour is very distracting and makes this thread damn long without solving our core needs.

ALL GEEKHACKERS NEED: some way to store and organize keycaps.

Frankly, I need these things so bad, I'll happily pay for cardboard, recycled paper or even flimsy vinyl cutouts. If somebody would design these things and put up the designs online, I could scrounge up my own cardboard, cut it out and have my own keycap organizer. Thats 1000x times better than storing everything in bag after bag of ziplocs.

1. Should accommodate a modern full 104-key set bare minimum. Possibly additional areas for tsangen kit, gamer set, etc.

2. CLEAR will be the most popular because everyone wants to show off their keycaps, however...

3. Needs to have UV protection!

I quite fancy a clear obe depending on price
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

I would be more interested in colors other than clear if you kept the top clear on all of them. Is this possible?
