Not for my remote, but early on, my mice would come out of my backpack powered up when their power button/switch got tripped. After getting a firm amenities kit (I think it was one from an ME3 airline... looks like a bigger version of a braces container) and keeping my power-up-able stuff in there, it stopped happening (I also toss my battery case in there so there's no way the case opens). My cables go into a pencil case I got from Walmart way back when. Little bit more weight, but saves me a lot of hassle.
