A simple tip
Before reusing a case, clean and dry it thoroughly, especially if it has been stored for a long time. Avoid storing anything sharp or bulky enough to damage the case or injure you if it opens unexpectedly.
Sometimes the most useful storage containers are the ones we already have sitting in a drawer. ♻️✨
