Anything to Carry Grad Filters for easy access?

I've got a ton of filters and they are taking up a lot of space. I've currently got:
Lee 3 stop hard grad
Lee 3 stop soft grad
Lee 2 stop soft grad
Hitch 3 stop hard grad
Singh Ray LB Color Combo (thin mount)
Singh Ray Gold and Blue Polarizer
Singh Ray Vari-N-Duo

I'm carrying these in the top section of my Kata 3N1-10 backpack. The filters, pretty much take up the entire space. However, it's a pain to access the filters when I need them -- not without taking my whole bag off, putting it on the ground and spreading the filters out.

Is there an efficient way to carry these filters so I can access them when I need them. I bought a Lee filter holder case -- but it's WAY to big. I ended up cutting out the filter holder sections and just tossing away the case. I'm thinking something like a Think Tank lens changer -- maybe I can shove my filters there and swap them in and out.

Any ideas?

You can try something like this; Tamrac MX5388

but it only fits 5, and you have 7 filters.

I attach a Lowepro Sliplock 30 pouch to one side of my waist strap...in it I can carry several grads and my Lee holder with adapter ring. On the other side, I attach a small Tamrac filter wallet that holds three 77mm filters. I find that this keeps all my filters handy without having to drop the pack and rummage through it.
