You know Matt, that thought crossed my mind right away! Great minds huh.
However, the getting them out again was the trick, the plastic will cool and
fit the mask, so you may never get them out without damaging the case. Also,
once you do that you can't really change the position of
the masks or re-org. very well. Since the pocket now has nice Mask form of
whatever you placed in there.
Now why does this all make sense? I tried it on one, and I may have to cut
it out of the pocket if I ever want to move it. :]
