hi Kelly,

welcome to SGL!

many people keep them in foam lined flight cases eg http://stargazerslounge.com/equipment-discussion/95026-show-me-your-eye-piece-cases.html

I got mine from Maplins. they do them at £15 every now and again.

Flight case from Maplins. Aluminium, very secure and has foam you can adjust to fit your eyepieces.

ps, no silly questions on here. they all count.

Personally, I stored my good ones in a Peli case with my refractor, the not so good one in a jar that was once used as the packaging for some oriental dried sea weed. A few pack of desiccant in each to keep things dry.
