I just put mine in my pocket and it seems to be fine. Then again, I've only had it done since Sunday night. ;)

I'm clearly strange, but I'm looking forward to mine getting knocked around. (Within reason!) As I say with my Land Rover, they're not scratches, they're battle scars!

(I am also planning on keeping one immaculate for the collection!)

My tin was already knocking about in my hack-bag for like a year so I'm not going to get precious about it now...

I thought about modeling/printing a simple 3d-printed hard shell for the tin to slide into. If enough people are interested I might have a go at it. :)

This is sort of what I was thinking (very quick draft - may add a mintyPi embossing on it):

 I'm using my Oakley sunglasses pouch that came with my sunglasses. Perfect size for the tin and really soft like a lint free cloth.
I have a few sun glass pouches too, good idea!
