Anyone use an after-market IEM case? I'm looking for one for my SE530s since you can barely fit the IEMs and the PTH in the provided case. I want something big enough to hold the mass amount of accessories for these things.

Most IEM cases aren't meant to hold earphones and the PTH. Not even the shure case actually. I'd recommend using a cheap small camera case or something like that... Just go to Best Buy or someplace like that and look around. I know they have cases there that would suit your needs.

I've seen some Shure SE530 in a small Tupperware case - quite funny, in a some strange way.
Besides the rather weird look it's definitely a safe, dry and durable place to keep your headphones.

Ah, thats a good idea. I'll look for one next time I'm out.

You could consider:
- hard pencil case? (e.g. muji)
- otterbox?
- pelican case?

i use a ~$5 camera case from dealextreme or some other cheapo site.

Well, if you're considering Tupperware, a pelican waterproof protective case for $10-$20 is a few more $$ but a lot cooler looking and those things always come in handy around water. I personally use a small but roomy camera case I got at Fry's for, I think, $12. It's water-resistant cordura (thick nylon) and holds the whole kaboodle - my HiMD w/battery pack, remote, IEMs, 2 or 3 discs, and a spare battery. Snap-able (sp?) belt loop makes it handy and easy to carry around on-the-go. It's a little bit larger than I'd like, but I picked it specifically because it could hold my RH-10 upright w/battery pack attached, allowing me to plug in a long headphone plug/adapter (e.g. CD3K) while on my belt. My point is that the stores usually have an entire wall of these things to browse through and you can almost always find something tailored pretty close to what you need... Good luck.

I buy camera cases from a local Big Lots store,not sure they have these stores where you live.

I keep mine in a sunglass case with the drawstring. Honestly though, I stopped using the push to hear accessory after like the first week. Just too much to carry around.

What dBz- said. I buy these all the time, they're the same as what most IEM manufacturers include with their logo.
 
If it's too small, ebay also has a lot of zipper glasses/sunglasses cases which are similar to this but bigger.

Loads on eBay (as suggested), if you can avoid the keyword spam you can find a variety of sizes and shapes.
