How do you store/display your world coins?

I'm trying to come up with an idea that will satisfy my need for uniformity and visual attractiveness.

Slabs are okay, but the main downsides for me are cost, and the fact that once slabbed, the coin is forever out of reach, for example if I'd ever want to take updated photos.

I've used flips before, and they work okay. But I've also seen wear on thick coins from rubbing on that stiff mylar.

I have some Guardhouse Tetra snaplock holders, but I don't like how thick the foam insert is (makes the coin seem like its down in a hole) plus there's no room for the sort of comprehensive information I want to include.

I considered good old cardboard holders, but in 2.5x2.5 size to give me more room for label information. This might work only the ones I bought are all too large and smaller coins flop around freely inside the capsule. I might just buy some smaller ones and see if I can make that work.

Anyway...I'd love to hear from you all! What is your preferred method of storage/display for your world coins? Pictures welcome!

I should add that I do have a beautiful wood coin cabinet I built myself (funded by my wonderful wife for a birthday present a couple years ago) and it works great for my ancient coins. But I think I want something a little more sealed/protective for my world coins, since, being closer to the time and condition of minting, they have more to lose from handling than ancients, which have already been through it all.
