Waterproof Hard Shell Tefillin Bag 10 x 6.5 with Handle and Pocket

The tefillin only version of the hard shell case, at roughly 10 by 6.5 inches. The shell is rigid and waterproof, there is a handle on the outside and a pocket built into the inside, and the whole thing is sized to hold the beitlach and nothing more.

Take this one rather than the larger 12 by 9 case if the tallis travels separately or if you daven in a place where a tallis is not worn. It is noticeably easier to fit into a bag, a briefcase or a carry on than the full tallis size, and the inside pocket still leaves room for a spray bottle or a small mirror without anything pressing on the batim.

The argument for a hard case is the same one every time: batim take a set of pressure and moisture that a soft velvet bag simply does not stop. For a bochur going back and forth to yeshiva, a man who flies for business, or anyone whose tefillin ride in a car trunk in the winter, the shell is doing work that no embroidered bag can do.
