    It's low-budget style but I use tackle boxes or boxes for screws, nails, tools you can find at Home Depot or Lowes.

    This is what I now have. It was a bit expensive, until you ask someone to make one.

    What about buying something vintage that straps were originally sold or displayed in, then modding it to suit. I’ve seen loads stuff listed on auctions over the years. Let me have a quick look for some examples.

    Edit.

    OK it’s hard to find something !

    Another thought would be to mod something from a watch parts supplier like Flume. There are loads of different sizes for hands, staffs, springs, and so forth, so perhaps something could be re-worked to take straps. Might be a bit of effort though. If the partioning could be easily opened up then something like this ? Ones without desirable parts in often sell for under 30 euros.

    I also searched for things like that but not really easy as you said ... I found a temporary solution but not really what I was looking for ...

    With a little patience they show up on Ebay. I have a few vintage cases that I use to hold all my bracelets.

    oops...just saw you wanted a glass top.

    This folder was produced by Omega back in the nineties I believe. Does the job perfectly for me. Thanks to my friend @igloe who found this for me last year ::love::

    The problem now is that I am running out of space and don’t know where to find another folder like that ::facepalm2::
