Thanks to Deal Hunter TattyBear for finding this deal.
Take cotton balls.
Squeeze as much petroleum jelly into each one.
Shove them in a spare pill bottle til it's full of Vaseline filled cotton balls.
Wrap a Bic lighter in plastic wrap and tape it a bit to keep it wrapped up.
Now put that pill bottle of cotton balls, and the Bic lighter in a zip loc bag.
The real slick deal.
It comes with tinder but no grinder?

I would not trust the case to keep water out. It needs a thicker oring or a tighter clamp. I would also worry about the case breaking when in a bag with other gear.
Good for a drawer in the house.
But, this has inspired me to print my own
EDIT: I kept one of them slightly underwater for an hour or so. About 5 drops of water were on the inside. So, it's not 100% waterproof, but then again, hopefully you, or it, won't be under water for an hour plus. I was debating performing a crush test. I might do that after I print a new housing.
One came broken. Good enough to leave one in the jeep and one in the ATV. Sparker will work wet or dry

Received mine today. Great idea, poor execution.

Generally, those who have a bag will have other gear. This is somewhat of a larger version of the survival Altoids, except it will float for a while, and while not pelican box strength, will stand up to some abuse. It's size is a good size for a compass, a lighter, some water proof matches, some fish hooks and fishing line, a few tablets of aqua Mira. The clamp is indeed weak sauce, but a few rubber bands fix the problem. The only thing really missing is a decent blade.
Thanks OP; in 4 1. Looks like there might be enough extra room in those waterproof containers for a fresnel lens, a few stormproof matches and a striker. Maybe even a Bic Mini...
Bought one of these a while ago. In mine, I have the striker, tinder, a small box of coleman matches, and a small 2.5" blade pocket knife. It's tight, but it works.
The instructions state to expand the tinder by ripping it apart with your fingers but it's nice to have a knife to assist with that task.

add a small pencil sharpener for easy unlimited tinder

My only complaint is the clasp is cheap and will surely break at some point. but it's a $5 dry box so you can't expect much.
