I'd love to find one with the same kinds of properties ... light weight (I'm trying a plastic one that is lighter than the roughly equivalent Pelican case), waterproof, and rounded corners (to keep from wearing holes in my PFD or fanny pack).  The idea of having a container that could double as a small cooking "pot" has definite appeal.  

I'll have to keep my eye out for one, unless someone knows of such a box with those kinds of dimensions.  Altoid tin is just a tad too small for my kit now.  Maybe an older fishing fly box (most seem to be plastic these days)?
