GREAT PRODUCT!
One person said that they had tried two other storage cases before purchasing the MindShift case. I actually did the same thing. This case could not be more perfect (unless it was free). I really like the versatility of the case. When I want to go lite ( camera, one lens, tripod, and filters ) I can go with the outer case attached to my belt. If I carry everything in a back pack, I just need the inner case. Both ways my filters are well protected. I would give this product ten stars! The person who designed this case must be a landscape photographer.

Smartly designed and wonderfully constructed
Filters aren’t cheap. I wanted a case that would protect mine, make them accessible and fit into my bag well. The Mindshift storage case did all three. I have two sets of four filters, 82mm and 77mm. The case allows me to store one set on each side in the color-coded, padded compartments of the removal inner core. There is room for a couple of filter wrenches in front of and behind this core. The outer pouch is rugged, rip-stop nylon with a zippered top that seals the filters securely inside with no way for dust to enter. Add to this a sturdy belt loop and an oddly easy stacking overall shape. The base is wider than the top. The top flap is slanted. If, like me, you slip the pouch into a partitioned section of your camera bag, access to the filters is facilitated without the removal of the case from the bag partition. It’s not a huge feature, but good experiences, like good photographs, are comprised of a lot of little things, not one flashy feature. Mindshift gear is comprised of many, well thought out features executed with precision. Whenever I need gear, I check with Mindshift first.

This is the one to get.
I originally purchased a Ruggard Filter Pouch from an online brick and mortar superstore when I bought some B+W circular polarizers and neutral density filters. The idea seemed like a good one, but i didn't think much about it. That filter pouch was horrendous, I only used it once and would only use it when also putting in the foam inserts that came with the filters. It offered horrible protection.
This "filter nest" is perfect. It offers excellent protection for all filters inside. It retains a "smallish" size and has multiple extra pockets that I wasn't expecting for microfiber cloths, SD Cards CF Cards, and other small accessories. It can either be attached to other bags or it can be thrown inside of a larger bag. I am using it for 4 filters and have room for 4 more which I plan on getting soon. Currently the size of this bag is larger than the combined size of the 4 B+W cases that came with the filters, but i believe one or two more filters will put me into saving space. While I currently have lost a tiny bit of room in my main camera bag, I have gained tremendously in organization and speed in finding filters.
My only complaint is I was expecting this greyish color with green highlights. I got a black nest with green highlights. I didn't realize there were multiple colors, probably wasn't paying attention when ordering. I don't mind, but I was expecting the cool grey color.
I have looked at several of these, the one cheapy that I disliked and a few others in Brick and Mortar stores. This seems to be the king of them all, I highly recommend.

Best filter case ever!
I finally found one filter case to rule them all! I have 6x 77 ND filters, 1x CPL and and 3-4 step up rings taking up one slot so this case is absolutely perfect. It's snug. No bigger than it needs to be, it zips up, and what's really great is being able to take the inner case out for situations where you want to put all your gear in a single bag and you don't need the additional padding that this case provides. Super great!

Finally Someone Got it Right
After a long search, I stumbled across the MindShift Gear Nest and can't recommend it highly enough. Stores plenty of filters securely and zips completely closed. Even has enough room for a filter wrench. If you're wanting to put your filter investment in a single place, I would highly recommend giving this a try.

liner is separate if you use it in a larger case.
I wanted something to protect my 77mm CPLs and NDs, as well as the various step-up rings that can get dinged up easily. this fits the job nicely.
The whole package is a bit bulky for inside my kit bag, but the inner part is padded and has a top that folds over and velcros closed.
Would purchase again.

Great filter holder
This is a great filter holder. I use it in the Mindshift Backlight 26L backpack. For that purpose, I removed the inner filter holder, cut off the flap, and made a perfectly sized compartment with dividers in my bag. This allows easy access to 8 filters. My only slight complaint is the fabric in the pockets is not completely smooth, so the threads on some filters catch on the sides and make it harder to pull out.

High quality and versatile filter case
I was so pleased when I received this filter case. I use it for my 77mm infrared filters and they fit securely, but are still easy to access. The case is high quality and the insert stays in with a Velcro surface. Highly recommend, and I will probably buy a second for my ND filters.

Great in keeping all filters together!!!!
Perfect for round filters and also capable of removing insert if need be. Made of good quality material and dust proof pockets. Highly recommend, but price a little high, still good product.
Question & Answer
Question :
Is the external pouch rigid ?
Answer :
The construction of external pouch is more like a well-made backpack. Pouch structure itself is firm, although supple, as it holds its form well.
Question :
is the internal sleeve removeable?
Answer :
Yes, the MindShift Gear Filter Nest Storage Case (Sku MS917) does have a removable insert. Directly from our store: "The Filter Nest is two bags in one. Its padded, zippered pouch protects delicate filters from dust and scratches in the field or just use the “removable insert” for compact packing."

Question :
is the partition in the insert removable so I can store 100x150 filter?
Answer :
I don’t believe so. I would go for the bigger one. I believe it’s called a Hive. I have all of them and that’s my go to case when using 100x150 and also circular style. They all fit.
Question :
will this hold 100mmx100mm square filters ?
Answer :
No, this one is designed for circular filters. I bought the Mindshift Hive mini for my 100x150 filters
Question :
I just the haida m-10 drop-in filters. would these fit? or would they be too large?
Answer :
The case will hold up to eight 82mm filters.
Question :
Will it hold square filters?
Answer :
I use the Mindshift Filter Nest for my round filters and adapter rings. You could probably use it for 3x3 filters; however, 4x4 filters with simply not fit. For 4x4 filters, I personally use the LowePro Filter Pak 100, which works very well for me.
