I bought a cheap (97 cent) plastic covered composition book at Wal-Mart and ripped all the paper out, then folded the edges of the cover to make a simple case for my Foldscope. It’s not perfect (the scope can still slide out the ends), but the plastic is stiff enough that I feel very comfortable slipping the Foldscope into my jeans pocket without worrying about it bending or ripping. I plan to add something (I was thinking slots in the plastic, but I think the plastic might crack, so I’ll probably go with a small plastic bag) so that I can store slides and other supplies in it too.
