I try to keep them and store all but the most frequently used tools in them
because they tend to help me keep all of the parts together better than I
can without them.

Some cases are designed very poorly and these drive me crazy. It is
obvious
to me that the case design job was left for the new junior engineer in the
department and nobody checked his work. The latest and worst that I have
is

I'm with you. I have some cases that fit the tool so well there's only
enough room if you put the tool back in exactly as it arrived from the
store. That means the cord has to be twisted up exactly the right way, the
tool's adjustments have to all be put back to the smallest setting, and
forget about the manual fitting back in anywhere. If it meant that I could
save that couple of minutes trying to solve the puzzle every time I put it
back I'd gladly pay an extra ten dollars for a better case. These design
choices are lose-lose in my opinion.
