I have quite a few sets and I just bought the Tim Holtz Unmounted Stamp binder and it works great. I just a piece of card stock to fit the insert sleeves and put a magnetic strip on it and away we go. This works really good for me. Good luck in your search.
There was a thread about this recently, you can probably find it if you do a search. This is what I did, because I wanted easy access. I bought these magnetic "knife" holders for $6 at IKEA...yep, I bought extra for when my collection grows ;) ! Hoping my Circle Scallops arrive today!
I went to the dollar store & bought some empty cd cases & magnet strips. Cut the magnet strips to fit inside. It works great & is portable! I got the idea from someone on here - of course!!

I put mine in a 3-ring binder with photo pocket pages. I leave them on their original piece of black cardboard -- just cut it down a little to fit in the photo sleeves. After time, when the tape loses its grip, I add a new strip of double-stick.
Oh... the pages have 4 pockets. They also will hold "regular" A-2 size cards.
This is stellar! I'm ready to make the leap out of cd cases with magnet strips (that don't hold and tick me off constantly) to something else, and this is it! THANKS!

Those are awesome.
Thanks for the picture. Now I know what it looks like instead of trying to understand what someone is telling me (I am a dense natural blonde).
I had heard of the CD cases but still don't get it (dense natural blonde). I have looked at the magnet strips and it just isn't clicking.
I found a nice (cheap!) plastic coupon pouch at Target's Dollar Spot yesterday. Has 7 little slots. I took heavy card stock - cut to the standard card stock "front" size. Cleaned off my refrigerator of large rectangular magnets that I've received from all over as advertising. (From pizza places, schools, etc.) Could actually get two magnets out of one - several were that large. Then used two sided tape to adhere the magnet to the cardstock.
Was able to put one set of Nestabilities in each of the slots. The nice part is that it takes almost no room to store and I have all the Nestabilities all in one place. Easy to sort through. Should I buy more in the future - I'll need another coupon pouch.

Wow...I love this. I don't have an IKEA handy.
I recently bought a folding book by Kwikcutz - and was sorely disappointed. I thought it was book. It's a folder - 2 sided. Doesn't store much of any thing!
I started storing mine in clear Cd cases and this worked for me at home but they did take up space and also they didn't travel well, getting cracked. But now I have found a shockproof CD case which is perfect for storing and also travelling and it only cost me $2.99AUD.
I have photos of it in my gallery, I tried to put thmbnails here but it wouldn't work, sorry.
CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THE WEBSITE FOR WHERE TO BUY THESE.

WHAT a GREAT IDEA! I looked at Ikea online...they are 8.99 plus S&H...no Ikea close to me... Do they stay on the strip well? How many can you fit on one? (Sorry can't enlarge your pics for some reason) Thanks!
I used clear cd cases and lined the right side with a magnetic sheet. It comes in a roll and you just cut the size you need. Michael's sells it. It works beautifully. I use a labeler to label the outside edge with the name of the set.

YES, they stay on the strip well, it's amazing how strong the magnet is...trust me, they aren't going anywhere. I can't believe they are $3 more buying it online, I only paid $6. Each strip will hold 5-6 sets of 5.
Storing Nesties?
