A simple tip
Before reusing a case, clean and dry it thoroughly, particularly if it has been sitting unused for a long time. And avoid storing anything that could leak, overheat, or damage the lining.
The best part is that you don’t need to buy a special organizer—an old case can become a compact protective container for dozens of small everyday items.
