spy capsules?
on: December 31, 2009, 08:56:56 PM
I have seen these mentioned a few times on the forum, but I don't have a clue where to get them from.  I checked dealextreme (it seemed like the sort of thing they would sell) but came up empty handed.  So, where do you guys buy all these things from?

http://edcdepot.com/ our banner advertiser gives one out for free with every order, and has them for sale in different sizes  :cheers: There are plenty of other merchants selling them, even made of Ti (titanium), but for much more $$$

surely the has to be something cheaper than buying and paying for shipping on something from the states just to get one?  :think:

I made a pill holder from a Maglite Solitaire flashlight body and tailcap.  Just replace the bezel with a soft plastic cap.

Magnus, EDCDepot is the best place to get them but if you prefer to shop elsewhere, DX has this:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27551

Lee Valley has similar ones as well:

Have a look around in a Pharmacy for keyring pill cases. I have some that are made of stainless steel with an inner vial for Nitro tabs...if you leave the vial out they will hold standard size tablets.

I have bought from this seller before and recommend
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/montana_inc_uk/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

Alternatively if you search ebay using Pill Holder rather than Spy Capsule you will get more results :D
 
I have also seen these in Cotswold Outdoor shops.

Highly recommend these; don't know how I did without them  :)

I got two 'true utility' capsules of amazon (uk); they are marketed as being used for holding emergency money (£20 note)

I got the True Utility Tele Pen for £7; it's kinda like an Inka Pen on a budget :D Weighs nothing and is always there :D

Anyway back to capsules... i thought the True Utility capsules were a bit on the big side.

to be honest, with them on my keyring, along with all the other stuff, i don't notice them (well, apart from the one that has a long strip of duct tape around it)  :D

I wouldn't recommend it tbh. Not very good!

EDIT: I've just had another look at mine and it's not that bad.

PM me your address - you can have this one.

We all know that a TARDIS is sci fi mumbo jumbo, and suggesting it just makes you look silly.  What you really need is a subspace pocket that allows you to store things in a proprietary alternate dimension....  :D
