I posted my Nestie storage up on my blog recently. I love the small space it takes up, ease of flipping through my sets (all 6 of them). I believe one could probably fit around 40+ in the small box. My Nestie Storage

I have mine in a travel CD holder with magnetic strips too... I think I saw that storage option here on SCS. I also have some of the longer rectangle nesties and they store nicely with a magnetic strip in a DVD case.

I store them in a binder, in a custom storage sleeve made with a sheet protector. There's no need to cut down the original chipboard that came with the nesties... I just replaced the sticky strip with magnetic strips.
It's the same method I mentioned earlier today for embossing folders and dies. I posted a tutorial for it on my blog if you guys are interested.
These are great ideas.. thanks to all for sharing. I need to find a new way to store mine, they are kind of outgrowing the magnetic books that they are in now.

I store mine in a binder using magnetic vent covers. I really love them stored this way. I didn't want to have to take them out of a storage box and then take them out of their plastic cases. I also wanted them to stay flat so they didn't come off on their own. I love being able to flip through the pages and pull off several of them and then see what size/style works with what I am working on.
I've kept mine in their original packaging since it is sturdy and purpose built for the product. For those sets that the tape has lost it's stickyness, I use a couple of strips of magnetic tape to hold them in place. I store the nesties in a CD holder/basket.
I try to refrain from being a 'collector' of things, especially where my stamping is concerned. I've allocated myself a limited storage space for my nesties (my CD basket)and I don't foresee myself expanding beyond that.
I use magnetic pages I ordered off Ebay and store mine in a large cigar box. I can pull out a sheet which hold 3 sets of nesties at a time. It keeps them neat and compact.
I had mine in CD cases for forever, but found I didn't use them as much because I had to flip through them (I know that sounds lazy - but for me if it's outta sight it's outta mind!) So i got a small corkboard for my wall and cut pieces of magnetic air vent covers big enough for each separate group of nesties and pinned them to corkboard on wall above where my cuttlebug sits. that way i see them all out in the open!
I store mine in the large 8.5 x 11 magnetic storage books by QuicKutz. I saw an earlier post that they were hard to find or unavailable but I just ordered 5 on line from quickutz.com and they were shipped to me within 48 hrs. Shipping was very reasonable as well.

I use the Quickutz Magnetic Storage Books too. On the outside of the book I put Brother P-Touch labels showing which dies are inside. Each book holds quite a few dies, and if I reorganize (which I'm constantly doing) the dies in different books I can always move the label to another book. So far it's worked for me, and if you use the 40% coupons, the books are quite reasonable.
