I love this one. But, I think it's time to upgrade. Can anyone suggest a good leather style exterior deck box? I play modern if that makes any difference.
my favorite boxes are the ultra pro satin towers.

Check these out. They fit an 80 card deck nicely, especially if you double sleeve. Pretty sturdy, not too bulky, and still have a nice compartment for dice and stuff. I got one a couple months ago and love it.

I have the same black box as army. It fits 75 double sleeved cards and a few tokens quite snugly. (Dragon Shield) It also fits in fat pack boxes which is nice. I wonder about the double size ones.
Boxes like this are also pretty cool. Don't own one but it looks fancy

Thanks guys, right now I'm torn between the Satin and the one with the debossed mana symbol. I was hoping for something I can easily carry in my hand from place to place as I don't have a dedicated bag yet.

No bag? Satin tower for sure then. It can hold 9x 6 sided dice and 3x 20 sided spins downs in the bottom, as well as about 115 double sleeved cards. So it'll hold your deck+sideboard+required tokens+extra sleeves.
Do image tags work? lol...
This is what a double sleeved 60+15+lots of soldier tokens and EDH looks like.

What you want is the Ultimate guard Flip 'n Tray. It is super high quality and well worth the money. It keeps your cards safe and secure. But if you want to review on any deckbox you can find and want to know what to get then go to this page.

I use the dragon shield box with 4 compartments. It's very sturdy, resists fluids, and won't suffer from being carried in any bag or backpack. It's also a great box if you can't decide which deck you want to bring along, or want to bring decks suited for different formats. It won''t fit into the pocket of your jacket though.
For carrying one deck I'd suggest the Flip'n'Tray from Ultimate Guard. It's great in both style and function.
The Tolarian Community College made a whole series of videos about deckboxes. Just in case, here the links.

I really enjoy the satin tower and the ultimate gaurd monolith. The monolith is slightly easier to open though in my opinion. I fear one well placed drop will spill my cards

I'd love to have the Flip'n'Tray. I'll see what I can do about getting one. Thanks everyone for the quick feedback about this.

I just want to suggest the satin towers as well, not only is it really protective but the dice tray is hella convenient. And if you have multiple decks, or play edh; you can build an army of mismatched towers. They're honestly great. There's also the UP tower that holds a 100 card sleeved deck and a 75 right underneath it, with the door holding your sideboard. Can't remember what it's called. But it's also awesome.

check out these guyshttp://www.dexprotection.com/They have three different sizes. The Med holds my double sleeved edh deck plus side board and has room for more on the side in a separate compartment. The side compartment is large enough stash my commander while it is still in a hard plastic toploader (it Diagonal across the space but there is no tension on the hard sleeve. Its a side load box, which I prefer. The small should be fine. If you need space take a peek at the med size.

A fine choice, if I may say so. Just stay clear of the BCW boxes that look similar. Those are poor quality copies.
He wanted a transport box. Dex Pro has very good boxes, but they close poorly due to the weak magnets. So they're fine for keeping a deck stored, but I wouldn't use them for transport.

I just launched a Kickstarter that has some wood laser cut boxes as a pledge option. I'm also working on a mid sized on that holds maybe 2 EDH or Standard with sideboards with a similar lid that has room for a few lanes of dice counters at about 50% of the Deck Master version size.
Here's the DIY kit assembled: Deck Master Box
Check out the kickstarter if you'd like: ThinkerTinkerMaker Kickstarter
Opinion?

It's a quite niche product. Don't get me wrong, it looks great, and of very good quality. But, a thing about kickstarters is that you want to meet your goal within a day or two, even up to a week, of launch. It says it was launched about a month ago. You probably could've asked yeaGO if you could advertise on the site for your kickstarter. It's very nice though.

Those are really cool sneaky. I hope you are able to meet your goal.
I have 10 EDH decks, so I just got the 3 buck shoebox one that holds them perfectly. Problem is I just started making #11. Now what? lol. At least I am going to keep it's budget to $10. Actually if I use that box my sister made me, and my big one, that carries 11. So no problems till 12.

I think you are looking for This kind of deck box. I have a black one that I got when I first started several years ago and it has little to no sign of wear and tear. Definitely worth buying
