The Container Store
What set is that BTW?
Another alternative to storing a keycap set are those plastic containers that you get dice in. I found some today at the Container Store. They're called Amac Boxes and they're pretty cheap.

The large ones can hold the 87 key set and the small ones are just large enough for the 17 keys in the number pad. They're probably really nice for extra modifier sets or a tsangan kit as well.
For those who are curious, the caps in the containers are the stock ninja caps from my Filco.
What about the cardboard boxes you see for complete sets? [link (http://l.mashby.com/6e9B)]
Can you buy those empty from anywhere?

That'll be fine. It'll give some point of reference. When you put the caps in, did you have to arrange them to make them fit or can you just dump them in willy nilly?
Yeah, I like the idea, but I don't know that I want to have to arrange them every time I want to put them in a box. Though it wouldn't be too bad, I suppose. What was the cost per box?
How many keys are in there? And is that both size spacebars I see?

I get very particjular with cases. For some reason, I can't bring myself to think that a case like the one cobraj posted, which has a good amount of depth when I only intend for it to hold a cap, is a good idea. :|

Everything is somewhat sorted by profile/novelty, that lower right R4 portion keeps growing rapidly :x

Where did you get the GEEKHACK plaque in the lower left bin?? i REALLY want one!!!
SmallFry, how is this ever gonna work out if you don't pay attention. I can't summon your help without that key component. Watch the spy more! :PI was working on my server. :P Need to get my Minecraft server running again. The server UI I wanted to use, however, runs better on 664 bit. So, reformat, here we come!
Aren't those the lasered cardboard boxes one of the korean forums did once?What about the cardboard boxes you see for complete sets? [link (http://l.mashby.com/6e9B)]
Can you buy those empty from anywhere?
Does anyone know of a source for these boxes, as mashby asked?
Thanks,
John

Either that, or it's the (most likely) lasered cardboard material topre uses for their fullsets.
I'm surprised no-one has mentioned signatue pastics' keycap display system: http://www.keycapsdirect.com/marketplace.php
I have all my keycaps currently in a USPS mailing box I had. They are sorted into baggies. Fullsets are generally in used bubble mailers I think I'll need to get something from thecontainerstore soon.
I just bought the 45 key one. While this would work perfect, it's far too expensive for full sets.
Regarding those AMAC boxes, which are the sizes for the larger and smaller boxes y'all have purchased?
^Great. Those are the ones I thought, but I wanted to just make sure. Thanks a lot for your help in this thread, everyone.
^^That orange gas mask!!! Glimpse into the future perhaps?
EDIT: or is it orange?

Seems like it's supposed to be red...
I'm hoping for a nice blue or pink gas mask, hint hint martinyeah ;)
These are some nice cases, I'm ashamed that my keycaps don't live in such luxury

Looks like translucent orange :p
Translucent pink!? D: gibe pls

I went out looking for something to store my keycaps yesterday and came home with this. Now I can buy all the keycaps I want :)).Show Image(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h203/willkillall/photobucket-30836-1359296511670.jpg)

Where did you get those boxes?
From Cheap as Chips (a $2 shop in Australia). You should be able to get something similar local from an office supplies store in the states. Or look online for things like 'document storage case' etc.

It's not horrible to organize it, and it makes arranging them nice. I'll snap a pic of what we talked about above and then how I have my caps organized later. And the price? I think its like $1.50? Definitely less than $2.
Here's a link to a full set of 104 in the two boxes. These are the black on black PBT that TechKeys did as part of a pre-sale.

Hope that helps!

It was more than that if you bought them at the container store we talked about. I looked! :(
what about these boxes?

I think it's very cool.

The price tag on the bottom of my box says $1.79. Part number is 60420. Check this link (http://www.containerstore.com/shop/containers/boxes?productId=10003497) for the sizing of the box.
Edit: Not sure what's going on with the search on their website so here is the product description from the table:
