I've used a racquetball container before and liked its characteristics, but it is not as small as a film container. A racquetball container is small (5" tall, 2.5" diameter) with about the same capacity as a pint can. It has a secure screw lid that seals pretty well, but is easy to open. The body of the container is clear plactic, so looks less 'bombish'. You could paint it camo if you wanted, but I like being able to see inside the container before I open it.
