Mostly for GR so need to accommodate longer shank along with practical protection.

I just use the protech 4 mouthpiece case. It's nothing special.

Hello all,
My black leather Protec is much more protective than my Bach nylon 4 piece pouch.

I got a Gard Leather quad mouthpiece pouch quite a while ago. A decade? More? Very solid and still works great. I have yet to see or use a better one.

I had a Bach one, it was moderately ok but eventually gave out and was fairly unusable. The ProTec non-leather one is fine, but not in the same league. I don't know about their leather one.

Messina Covers, makes several multiples - for mouthpieces. And can do custom work.
I have cases for 2, 3, 4, 6, & 8.. good for storage and gigs.

I have 2 of the Protec quad. Pros: affordable ($13-16), mpcs safe from each other, has zipper rather than velcro so no accidents, and has zippered pouch on front. Cons: metal zipper touches one mpc rim when fully open. I would buy again, if necessary. Protec makes a leather version at double the cost.

Thanks everyone. Ended up going the protec route, since I know the GR seems to fit in their doubles.

what do you mean accidents? what's wrong with velcro?
