Bought this to replace the older pouch for a filter and I really don't trust it protecting it. It's very thin with barely any padding. The filter fits tight from top to bottom and I can feel the sharp corners of the filter. Feels like I can crack it if dropped on a corner.
4 square filters for your matte-box are big-ticket items, especially if you buy Tiffen, Lee or any of the other brands using optical glass ground to high-precision flatness. You can't just throw them into your camera-case where they could get scratched or broken. That's where Tiffen's B Pouch comes in - this neat, padded pouch safely stores those expensive filters in a taffeta-lined, padded pouch with a Velcro closure, with a label behind transparent plastic so you know at a glance which filter is inside. If you're a cinematographer who travels a lot and has a collection of square filters, get a pouch for each of them, and a Pelican-case to keep the pouches in. That's about as close to airline-proof as you'll get. I heartily recommend this product and I'll be getting one for each of my filters as I acquire them. When you buy the filter, buy the pouch as well. You won't regret it.
