Default Filter storage

Hi, group.

I have a question about filter storage solutions.

I have nineteen special-effects filters that I use from time to time. Except
for those on my lenses (a prime 50mm and an 80-200 zoom), they're currently
stored in my camera bag as a "filter stick" -- you know, the stack you get when
you screw a mess of filters together for compact storage.

However, given that it can be difficult to access a desired filter -- I have to
unscrew the desired filter, a time-consuming process, especially if it's in the
middle of the stick.

With that in mind, I've been thinking about buying a "filter wallet" to keep
them handy and quickly accessible. I'd like to hear others' thoughts about such
a solution, pro and con, and other thoughts, comments, etc.
