Man I sure get tired of my cleaning supplies bouncing around, leaking and falling out when I open my side cases. I looked all over this site and the internet to find a cure. Tried Bungee nets, ST Case liners (works well for clothing) but nothing for those damned cleaning supplies. Got a new Hot glue gun last year and came up with what seems to me to be the best solution I have seen anywhere to date. Someone else may have thought of this before but I have not seen it. A quick trip to Wally world (or Amazon if you are so inclined) to purchase some plastic picture hanging clips and some mini bungees. Cost $10-12. You could probably cut that in half on Ebay. The pack of Clips I bought contained 18 and the bungees came in a jar of 20. I did not trust the adhesive supplied with the picture clips though it may have worked the hot glue is many many times stronger. This method also allows installation without making any holes in the case that could cause water leaks. I accidentally installed one with the clip facing the wrong direction and is was a simple matter of taking a putty knife and scraping if off and reinstalling it. This may come in handy if I break one down the road. Something else I discovered is I can hot glue these thing just about anywhere inside the case and customize it any way I like. Here are the pics.

Brilliant Idea if I do say so myself! Off to buy more clips. Got some ideas for the Outer case.
