It's a great pity that they didn't make them with a clip that could be attached to a belt or harness like the Contax P8-D Power Pack.
Although designed to power the Contax 645 (or AX) I grab these power packs when I find them at sensible prices and found a couple that had suffered damage to the connecting cable; they only cost a few pence. They turned out to be brilliant for carrying 4 rolls of 35mm film, in their canisters, and have the additional benefits of a very reliable belt clip plus being weatherproof.

I'm not familiar with the multi-roll holders, but I still have several of the 35mm, single-roll metal cans. I attach one to my small 35mm camera straps with a strip of reinforced strapping tape -- NOT regular packing tape). They have other uses as well such as storing small items, such as button batteries & adapters, etc.
Too bad they aren't making the single-roll cans. I bet they would sell more of them. Anyway, these longer containers could be used for many submini cassettes -- and many small accessories, i.e. cable release, PC cord -- but the price is kinda steep.

Single versions would probably be more useful to actually store film in, but I wonder if this isn't more of a marketing and gimmicky type item that's more glitz than practical. Vintage single aluminum, steel or brass ones get snapped up at high prices in the US, since they're sought after for using them in public 'treasure hunt' geocaching games. Smaller cans are harder to find once they're hidden, I guess, and they're weather tight when they have the screw-on tops.
