Default Storage for ink pads that are not SU?

I dont have any SU inks yet but I am looking for storage ideas for my ink pads. I have like Versamark size and some of the eye shape inks. How do you store yours?

I did a search and saw alot of you use cassette holders but what about the eyes?

I have a wall mounted cassette rack. I stack the cat's eyes about six deep on top of each other and four wide in each "cubby."
IMPORTANT: for the safety of all the ink pads, the top of this wooden cassette rack is hung tight against the wall. Behind the bottom edge I glued on a couple of chunks of styrofoam -- maybe an inch thick. That tilts the bottom edge out just enough so the ink pads don't come tumbling down when I bump into it.

Notice, I said "when" not "if." I'm not always the most graceful person. My career in the ballet did not last long.

I use something called an Ink Pad Palace which is a a cardboard holder that has you can add drawers to that I got from mother rubber.com. It hangs on my wall and so far has been great. I have all my cat eyes in two Sizzix plastic cases that I slid in one of the compartments and use one drawer placed on top of the thing to hold my reinkers. I really like it. Here is the link: http://www.motherrubber.com/InkPadPalace

I store my VersaMark inks on the same rack as my Stampin' Up ones and Adirondack and Palette inks fit on the SU rack as well.

I also have a cassette rack, but it isnt mounted on the wall. (I have it against the wall at the back of my table).
It holds all types of ink pads that I own, except for the Versamagic & Brilliance Dew Drop inks, which are pretty thick, and have little *feet* on the ends.
My Versamark, Stazon, SU pads, Palette inks, & Adirondack/Ranger inks all fit great in it.

I bought one from http://craftracks.blogspot.com/ and love it. I can fit three Cat's Eyes or three Dew Drops in each slot.

I just bought these cassette racks of Organize.com... they were pretty cheap, so I thought I'd give them a try:

I hope it works!

This is my ink pad storage
Ink Pad/refill storage by K. Benko at Splitcoaststampers
The fellow that makes them is now working on a 6 sided one. The one shown here is 4 sides and 13 high so it holds 52 pads. I also have one that holds 80 pads - 20 high. You don't want them any higher than 20 or they will be top heavy. He has sent these across USA and Canada. And I'm sure he would send them anywhere - if you want to pay the postage.
