They might be catalogued under "pouch" rather than "case". Searching
by # I found other 2, one of same size, one slightly larger. And the
numbers are: 610BLK, 640BLK, TP6100. The first retail at Port $14.95.
Searching www.shopper.com you'll find (at least the one I looked
up: 640BLK) discounted by several vendors. Some of those vendors who
don't charge shipping also offer the lower costs. A real bargain, the
640BLK for total $10 each (please, delete this sentence if references
to bargains are not allowed...).
