Default Fly Box for buzzers?

Can anyone recommend a fly box to house a collection of buzzers? It will need to fit in a fly vest (I have around 200 to house!).
Thanks for helping!
James

Ask Grommit on here, hes got some on sale in the trade classifieds at the moment, I have one of the Greys ones, will suit your needs fine. You won't get better service than from Grommit either.

Edit after seeing Woz's post, these are slotted ones, which I agree are the best type for this type of thing

I keep my buzzers in a medium wychwood vuefinder box, also I keep my nymphs and bugs in another of the same boxes one to each pocket of my vest. I also use the slotted variety as I find them easy to remove and replace flies without damaging the foam or the flies themselves.

There's a picture of them here from June 09

The problem with these cheaper "No Brand " Boxes is if you drop them the clear perspex lid will shatter then you have some nice spare foam . I would suggest the pocket sized boxes by Legend or Genwair, Both are waterproof and both carry a lifetime guarantee on the ABS cases buy from Cliff Harvey .

mines have had a hard time and have never shattered, a few scratches here and there, otherwise still sound, have not tried dropping them of the edge of a cliff yet, maybe that will be the real test

Don't need a cliff just a few stones or small rocks on the river bank. Probably ok if dropped on grass or similar reminds me of a friend who decided to test his waterproof fly box by dropping it in the Taff by the white bridge. Ten minutes later it was in Cardiff

I personally use C & F boxes, great for keeping buzzers in and the orginal slotted foam
