Box for dry flies

What’s everyone’s favourite box for holding dries?  Preferably fit to hold size 12-20’s.

See my tying season thread Derek. Those C&Fs are great with the compartments for the dries.

I’ve never tried one of those. Always thought I’d end up with tiny flies lost out of a section in wind or clumsiness. 
Are the little doors really secure?
Might have to give it a go.

I use the little clear plastic boxes you used to get for free at Orvis when you bought flies. Perfect for popping in your pocket.

For more "modern" dry flies such as DHE, F Fly and so on, I just use a normal box. In fact, my favourite is one of Mikes wooden boxes. As long as they are deep enough not to fold over the tips of the wings.
