X10 comes with a nice pouch. I use that and roll up to put them back in and it's fine. Just need to be gentle and baby these to avoid all the durability issues it's known for.

I don't always have room for a case, but I never wrap them around my phone. I always wrap them in a specific way where you wrap the wire around itself. They don't tangle or put strain on the wire. Usually just drop them in my pocket.

In a hard carry case. Here's one I use, it's small enough to fit in a pocket or I can throw it in my bag and not worry about it getting crushed(I only use hard carry cases, pouches suck).
yea but i thought it was a hard case?
Hmm. IMHO, I do not approve this way of wrapping the cable. I want to preserve the cable as much as possible in the long run so I ought to do something similar to this:
Cheap alternative: Altoids tins.
More expensive: Pelican cases

Altoids tins works but make sure you give it a decent cleaning and line it with something soft before use. I wouldn't use Pelican cases for earbuds because they are too tough and create too much pressure inside the case on your cables, especially if your buds have some kind of memory cable or foam tips.
In a case I never wrap them tightly so I don't see any advantage to that style of cable management. I'm willing to bet that my loosely wrapping in a circle is less stressful than tightly wrapping the cord around itself.

I received one of these with my Westone 3's. Works great.
