I went to a plastic case which is easier to clean. I also think I got it off Amazon. It's the blue Primos one.

You always want to use a case made out of a material that you can disinfect easily or, unless you are lucky, you will eventually have "problems".Long ago, I was pretty careless about disinfecting my calls and carrying cases. Every spring, when I got the calls out and started practicing prior to the season, I would get the same symptoms of feeling poorly and having heart palpitations for a while. This went on for several years until I "pulled my head out" and realized it was happening because of my lack of diligence in cleaning and disinfecting everything before storing my calls in the off-season...and also on a regular basis during the season if I was hunting on and off for several weeks. Once I put two and two together, I became much more careful about it and haven't had those problems since. For anybody using mouth-operated calls, do yourselves a favor and make sure you disinfect them on a regular basis...and if you are using any sort of case for those calls, make sure you are using something that bacteria and other unsavory microorganisms can't hide in.
