There does seem to be many out there that could do a job. I don't think I've ever seen a silicone 'foam' box. I'll need to have a look at them if they're good for the job.

The Caimore one looks good .

I'm currently using these for my river flies

Pretty durable, waterproof and floats.

These are the ones I use.

Tacky fly boxes aver very nice but priced to match:

There are fulling mill alternatives, but I've not seen these in the flesh:

There may be others but these are the first that spring to mind.

I have also come across magnetic flyboxes but have no idea how good these are, would be interested if any one has any experience with them.

Magnetic fly boxes- make your own.
Take an old, flat-bottomed fly box and remove the old foam.
Glue in some of this-

and off you go. The flies will lie on their sides however.

'til a voice as bad as conscience,
rang interminable changes,
on an everlasting whisper,
day and night repeated so-
"Something hidden, go and find it,
Go and look beyond the ranges,
Something lost beyond the ranges,
Lost and waiting for you,
Go."
