Spare TE Probe Storage

I have a spare TE prove (ESA-Systems type UN triple probe) that I
want to store safely in the trailer. Where it won't get damaged. Has
anybody found the ideal container or way to store these? I want to
keep it safe from physical damage, dust and tiny insects etc. This is
not the probe I routinely fly with, that just lives in the cockpit
when the glider is in its trailer. This is a spare part. Why I think
it is necessary to carry a spare probe in the trailer is not a story
I'm going to get into :-(

Shucks, I carry a spare probe in the trailer, and I don't even use a
probe! I have the ports covered with plastic wrap and twist ties (rubber
bands don't last), and the probe is held onto the inside ledge of the
trailer top (the part that goes against the sidewall of the trailer bottom.
