Are there any good carry cases you can recommend? I'm looking for something compact that I'll carry around inside my messenger bag. It needs to have room for some big IEMs (ATH-IM04), spare tips, and some short cables/adapters/USB thumb drives.

$30 I should think would be reasonable, yes?

Search for "camera insert" on Amazon and pick one that can fit in what space is left in your messenger bag, then see if it has enough compartments. Crumpler's haven is relatively slim (the Medium and Small sizes are meant for the cam to go in one way, unlike others that are wider if not square-ish), plus it has pockets for SDcards. I have two in my BBP Industries Messenger instead of their own rectangular insert - the rounder flanks on the Crumpler inserts keeps the bag from bulging too much or having that corner bulge, plus I got more one more divider - enough separate compartments to fit a Fuji X100, WCL-X100 wide converter, all chargers (laptop brick, Fuji and Caseology chargers holding spare batteries), and an Aurisonics IEM in an Otterbox without scratching up the cam or its converter lens. If you're not lugging a camera like I am then even just one Haven can fit whatever you want inside, assuming it fits in your messenger bag.

I like the looks of the FiiO case, but could use a few more pockets and compartments.

Just ordered one of these.

It might be too bulky. We'll see when it gets here. It certainly has the compartments I'm looking for.
 
I'm not using it for video or photography equipment. Audio only. DAP, one or two IEMs, and cables.

I am using this to store my DAP, AMP and IEM inside my bag.

FYI, I bought the large size.

With the compartment cover, the square-ish form factor designed for larger cameras/lenses, handles and straps, it will be. That's why I suggested this one in my earlier post, especially since you said you'd use it inside a messenger bag:
 
Come in three sizes; has interior dividers; rectangular/flatter form factor; space-saving padding around and on the cover system; mesh pockets in the rear

Turns out the camera case is smaller than I feared. It fits very easily inside my Messenger Bag.

It works perfectly for the X5 Classic, a few IEMs, and multiple cables. :)

Hi all,
This is what I have for my DAP/AMP, custom made from ETSY, cloudleather, Turkey.

Cheers
