Kguru,
Most lens cases have the filter side pointing down. This may be because the bigger base allows them to stand up easier, or they might have another reason. But if the manufacturers are doing it then it can't be bad to store lenses that way.

I read from some "tips & tricks" article and duly advised my father to store part-used tins of paint upside down, I guess so the paint itself would seal any gaps around the lid. He did ... 3 months later when he picked it up to paint again, guess what the lid had glued to the floor while the tin itself came off and up, emptying several litres of paint onto his fairly new workboots, and the floor of course.
I won't tell you what he told me then
Kguru, I have a question for you. Since you live in the USA, What the @#$*& is a litre ?
I don't believe you guys use the Metric system yet.
If you happen to turn metric the proper spelling, in Canada anyways is liter
