What are people using?
Not being a CCG player, I haven't had use for a deck box before, so I just walked up to a random stand in the dealers' hall at GC and said "Do you have any deck boxes with dividers?
They ended up giving me an Ultra Pro Pro-Dual box that works pretty well. It's five bucks, and unfolds to reveal 2 separate deck compartments. Each compartment is big enough to hold all the cards in a class deck box, and there's 2 dividers to keep your play deck separate from the, uh, rest. (Do we have a name for that yet? Sideboard? Ugh.)
When I got back I also was tempted by the Ultra-Pro Tower, which has a little drawer for dice at the bottom, but judging by the photos either it's too big to lug around or too small to carry enough dice.

I'm just keeping mine in the box it came in...

I have the Pro Tower. I can keep 5-6 full sets of dice in the bottom drawer, pens/pencils in the little door, and an entire class deck + sleeves in the top compartment. It's a little bulky, but can fit in a backpack / saddlebag.

I ended getting the Ultra Pro Zippered Gaming Case with Corrugated Insert to keep multiple decks in. I am just throwing the dice into one of the deck box spaces.
Don't miss this post from Vic in another thread.

I think I may have had the Pro Tower and Satin Tower confused. The dice compartment on the Satin Tower looks on the small side. Can you fit a full set of dice in there? (Actually I like to have 2 full sets since you're often rolling multiples.)
Just tested, it fits three full sets, plus room for a few more d6 or d4 on top of that. It can not fit 4 full sets. If you play the same deck a lot you will know what you need more or less of. Drop a d12 or two and add 4 or 5 extra d8 or whatever you need.
Awaiting details on new product Vic alluded to....
I wandered by the Gametimber booth and ended up coming home with a very nice wooden deck box that resembles a treasure chest :)

For Class Decks, I'm using:
4-Pocket Binders
Now Ultra-Pro only has 4 different types, white/white, black/black, blue/black and red/white. They hold 160 cards. Basically, I bought one for each class deck. They have an elastic cord that holds the binder closed. I've been using them for my ranger deck when playing at a local gaming store. Then switched over to my class deck for the GenCon events. The rest of my table really liked it.
