I found these cute little insulin cozies when I came to look for a new case. The short one fits my Novolog bottle, and the tall one fits the Lantus. The material fits the bottles snugly, and provides a thick, dense cushion all the way around. The padding on the bottom is just a little thinner, but the bottle is still well-protected. Hopefully, it'll be a long time before I drop another bottle, but if I do, I'll be in a much better situation.
The colors are bright and make identification of different bottles very easy. (As long as you remember which bottle gets which color...)
It's easy to get bottles back out, too. Just push on that thinner area on the bottom. The bottle moves easily, but stays under control. It won't pop out, but the top will come just far enough that you can get a good grip on it. Also useful if you want to take a quick look to see how much is left inside.
There are only two disadvantages. One is that the cushioning makes the bottles larger. You may need to find a new case. But at least you won't have to worry about them being tossed around and broken if left loose.
The other is the lack of transparency. You have to push part of the bottle out to see how much is left, and you have to pull the whole bottle out if you forget which kind of insulin is inside. A little plastic window might be a nice addition, if they could do it safely and cheaply.
Still, any way you look at it, it's a small price to pay to protect such an expensive, life-saving medicine.
Two days after I started using these, I dropped a bottle of Humalog. It hit the ground and just kind of bounced and stopped, absolutely no damage to the vial. I am sure that wouldn't have been the case if I had not put the cover on it!
I love the colors, too!
I got a tall blue one for my Lantus and this short lime one for my Humalog. Simple color coding to help avoid the mistake of using the wrong vial.
Definitely recommend this.
Good things are: easy to slide bottle in and out, great protection, easy to handle (not slippery), keeps vial cooler longer.
Not so good things are: more expensive, one size (may need to cut it to fit), Can't read the vial label, can't see how much is left in vial, and last but not least the construction of it is not very good. The glue joints come apart after a few months but they can be repaired.
