Hi David -

I agree that the Genck case is not well-suited for carrying liquids, but
I overcame this obstacle to some extent by using  45 degree foam wedges
that fit snugly into one of the compartments.  The 2oz bottles I use lay
on top of one wedge, and are held snugly in place by inverting another
wedge and placing it on top of them.  The bottles are never more than 45
degrees off vertical whether the case is laying flat, when using, or when
it's vertical, as when carrying.  You just have to fill the bottles no
more than 2/3 full or so.  

Not ideal, I admit, but it does save alot of trips to the car for a
squirt of Protek, or a dab of glue, and in every other way the Genck case
is very satisfactory.
