Default Fly box for posted flies

I am looking for a recommendation for a fly box that is good for use with flies with posted wings- ie Klinkhammers and parachute flies. I have a few different boxes but the problem I find is they are all too shallow and over time the posts get splayed or squished up. Either by the box lid - where they are single sided, or by the other side of the box where they are double sided.

So anyone got a recommendation. For Klinks I prefer a box thats not the compartmented type dry fly box- I like my klinks all held in foam or slots.

What would probably suit is the clear see through fly boxes with slitted foam, they have plenty of room between the flies and lid

Not sure of the brand but this is one

I intend to use a C&F copycat type box, bought from a trader here but I can't remember which one. I've been using the same type for winged wets with no problem so reckon it'll be fine for my posted wings/dries once I get around to tying some up.
