My new Gen3 arrives today, my Gen2 still works but was dropped and also has some marks on the front of the dish as it's a non durable coating I'll call it. I want to be more careful with the Gen3, while the drop accident was something unintended, putting it in the basement is something I want to be a little more careful about as again I consider the face of the dish non-durable.

Basement storage space is a premium and obviously the Gen3 is not a permanent roof mount and for those that do use a permanent roof mount I'd be concerned about protecting the surface as well from debris, hail, etc. But I digress, for those with NON permanent mounts, what are you using to store your dish? I'm current laying mine face down on soft material in my slideout tray but may look for some type of case or foam setup.

Interested in your ideas.
 
I store mine under my bed in its styrofoam shipper.
 
 
Think that's the same as my first amazon link - monstrous. Good protection, but I need a balance of protection and size. Will also evaluate the shipping container when it comes, Gen2 was too big for me to store in the shipping box. May need a bigger coach :)
 
I have my Gen3 in an insulated grocery shopping bag.
 
We have the gen2 and store it in a bin in the basement.
The bin has miscellaneous items in it - and the dish is on the top, face up.
This protects the face since nothing is touching or rubbing it.
Been working well for us over the past couple years.
But, there are times when I do just toss it in the trailer sitting upright on its stand and it has never fallen over (yes, we use a trailer instead of a 4 wheel down toad).
Putting the trailer idea aside, the bin works great for us.
 
Mine is in its original container in a storage compartment outside. No problems so far
