Over the past five years, the Pelican 1010 case has remained my go to battery case - even for traveling. Water proof, dust proof, shock proof, with a one-way air purge valve.
I use them for 18650s, 26650s, 16340s, ad 14500s.
Superb cases for the money
Here's the direct link to Pelican's site.
Here is a Pelican distributor.
Here, on Amazon - killer price for Prime members
A 3-piece razor is liable to break if you travel with it assembled. The guard you link will protect the blade, but won't do anything to keep the head of the razor from snapping off.
You've got three good options. Keep an extra razor at your girlfriend's, disassemble the razor whenever you travel, or put it in a hard case that will protect it from breakage (preferably with cut-outs that keep the razor from shifting around). Something like the Pelican 1010 can hold a razor, a small brush, and a shave stick.

Have three of those and then an assortment of other Pelican cases. The 1010's fit 18650s PERFECTLY though.
Invest in a hard case and gently wrap your IEMs and place them in.
Skip Skullcandy, please.
Read this buying guide from /r/headphones. Sure SE215s are one of the standard suggestions. The price isn't ludicrous, they are extremely durable, and the cables are easily replaceable (the part that fails 99% of the time). There are cheaper options if you don't want to spend that much, but not with the replaceable cable.
The most important thing you can do to make your headphones last is don't wind them up and shove them in your pants pocket, bag pocket, and for the love of god don't leave them plugged in to your phone and wound around the screen. Get a small hard shell case for them and use it to transport your earbuds when they aren't in use.
If you want to get fancy, get a tiny pelican case and some pick + pluck foam. Or just get an old Altoids mint tin and glue some miscellaneous thin padding in to it.
I use IEMs for ~5 hours a day, 5 days a week, and have never broken a pair. I've got excessively nice custom IEMs and a great case now, but I used the same strategy for years beforehand with much cheaper stuff.
> Is it bad to hang CIEM/IEM over your neck?
not that I'm aware of.
> How do you carry your portable gear?
Pelikan 1010 fir CIEM and I use the V-Moda XS with the exoskeleton case that comes with it.
All depends on how expensive they are. My SE215's stay in the little clamshell case they came with. But my Samsung default earphones I got with my S5 just rattle around in a pocket. Both are holding up just fine though. You could invest in a little Pelican 1010 for $10 on amazon if you want to be sure your ear buds make it through a zombie apocalypse unscathed.
Merkur does make a case, but I wouldn't trust it to survive in a gym bag. Maybe one of those small Pelican cases? Either this or this, maybe? Take some foam and cut an insert to hold the razor.
Seconded on the RX100 II. a point and-shoot is what you want. I have multiple cameras (Sony a7, canon t2i, sony rx100 II) and I only carry the rx100 when going on light-and-fast trips.
As a beginner photographer, you don't want to be buying a bunch of lenses. the rx100 has a zoom lens, so you can get both wide and tight shots.
You probably won't be taking photos of the stars and such, so you don't need a bigger sensor. (But the rx100 CAN do astrophotography...here's a shot I took with mine: https://www.mountainproject.com/v/112130410)
Finally, you can put an rx100 in a pelican case to make it bombproof: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CCZF6E
In short, get an rx100. you'll probably be shooting in auto mode for a bit, but there's plenty of room to increase your knowledge when you decide to.
> Not to get too flyertalk-y, but what rental company? I'm crossing my fingers w/ National as an executive member that they'll have a convertible or something decent (fun) on the aisle.
> I'd like to as I've heard good things, and some of the stops (e.g., waterfalls) seem interesting, but I'm not sure if I'm up for a day-long drive or doing this as an overnight trip. I might look into one of the tours
It was a great experience but over-hyped in my opinion. I would still recommend it. There are several beautiful waterfalls, cliffs, distant scenic landscapes, and hikes (although most hiking I did was in West Maui).
> I've heard! I guess that's a perk of this being a work trip!
In that case, check out Mama's Fish House! It's costly, but worth it. You'll need to make a reservation days in advance.
If you get some spare batteries, I'd recommend a water resistant case like the pelican 1010, that'll help keep the moisture off em and 65mm long cells (18650, 26650) fit great in those.
Also if you're looking for more cells, illumn.com is a reputable site for batteries and I think the keeppower ones would work, specially mentions the L6.
Pelican Case comes in different sizes and its waterproof , you could also get one of thosefoam pads to fit in, they are already die-cut so you can custom fit your medicine in it.

I also have one of these and love it. I would absolutely recommend it. Actually, this sub is probably sick of hearing me recommend it by now.

These very small pelican cases work amazingly well! I use the small one with a black door. Perfect
Amazon has it for $15.50 takes 2-3 weeks to ship though.

I like the Pelican 1010

ive seen a few guys around here using this case

but i imagine something like this will provide you ample protection

I agree with /u/david57strat The Pelican 1010 case is the way to go. Can fit (11) 18650's in it without modifying the foam inside the case, and waterproof. These silicon rubber sleeves are great for tossing a single battery in a backpack

Maybe just get a generic Pelican case, and a foam insert and cut it yourself? I'm pretty sure the one above would be too small, but larger pelicans are easy enough to find.
