I use pieces of foam rubber cut from a camping ground mat. (I buy the blue foam camping mattresses sold at Walmart.)
Cut 2 pieces slightly larger than the size of the modules, cut 3 pieces to act as spacers along the sides and bottom, glue the pieces together with superglue or epoxy so that you have a pouch into which you can slide the module. Superglue or epoxy velcro straps to close the opening and travel without worry. 1 mat is sufficient for a few dozen "cases", so you may want to look around a hardware store to see what else you might find that will work with less waste of material. I use the excess for shelf pads, etc., so I don't have any waste. It makes a great shock absorbing material for anything that needs to be transported. I lined my computer shelves in an 18 wheeler and carried my old 840 AV, 13" Sony monitor, modem, HP printer and Visioneer Paperport over the road for years. Tied to an AC inverter that supplied 110 V AC , I had a complete office with me.
