I found this at WalMart in the department where they sell sunglasses and bags.
It may be a belt pack for sunglasses since it has a velcro belt loop on the back.
It's made of wet suit neoprene with a good zipper and a net pouch inside. It's 6"x3"x3"
It holds 4 bars, wrenches, and picks and fits right on top of my strings in my seat.

This thing I carry in my pocket. It was a promotional give-away a tin of mints. 1.75" x 5/8"
You press on the center of the lid and it comes off. Put the lid back and press the edge and it snaps closed.

I've got a little 2 compartment bag I sewed up myself for bars, and picks go in an Altoids container with a piece of foam in it.

For you players that carry picks in your pockets, make sure you put the tone bar in there too.

That way if you ever get in an accident and are unconscious you won't be mistaken for a banjo player when you get to the ER.

Back in the mid 70's, a guy named Ricky Roach gave me a plastic empty Harmonica case. Still use it to this day to hold 2 sets of picks and a tuning wrench. I keep my bars in a Crown Royal felt pouch.

I have a burgandy colored leaather pouch that hangs on the tuning keys when the guitar is set up. It has snaps to close it up for transport. I bought it at the Chattanooga show several years ago along with the cover. Sorry I don't remember the vendor. You can just see it hanging on the key head in my avitar. For my reso, I have a tobacco pouch with a partition. It keeps the bar, and the capo seperated. It has a zipper, and tucks nicly into the little utility box in the case. All my extra picks are in a big medicine bottle in the pac a seat.
