Once again from LightersDirect, here is a nifty little accessory designed for your favorite Zippo lighter. Ever since 9/11 the ever toughened travel safety restrictions some times meant arriving at your destination only to find out that your bag had been screened and your elegant lighter confiscated.

OtterBox Zippo Case

Well, I’ve been traveling more and more these days because of my job and was faced with the conundrum of either leaving my cigars behind or risk losing one of my favorite lighters. Just then I ran into the Zippo Cargo Case by OtterBox. It turns out that because it has been made to comply with the Department of Transportation safety standards, a passenger is now able to carry up to two lighters in these cases without danger of losing them to security screeners.

These nifty cases are made of very rugged polycarbonate and are not only supposed to be virtually indestructible, but also are waterproof till up to 100 feet; of course I’d hate to think of a scenario where that particular feature would be useful, since I’m mainly using it for travel by plane; but anyhow… you get the point.

As always, you can check it out at LightersDirect
