At home it's basically within hand's reach, always on shelf/table though, I'm too scared of somebody (kids hubby me) sitting/stepping on it. At night in the nightstand drawer. At work on my upper shelf by the radio.
and in my
camera-laptop-essentials-bag every time I leave the house, it fits snuggly and safely by the minilaptop and is cushioned by the camera-compartment's walls.
