Second thing I thought. Look for bags and backpacks marked as "tactical" or "military". There are endless designs. You can go expensive with a name brand like maxpedition.com, or just jump on Amazon with a search like this:

If you get something with a lot of MOLLE webbing you can go crazy with modular pouches. It can actually become something of an addiction.

Personally, I got an insert similar to

to organize the small bits. Then I put that insert, headset(s), radio, tablet, etc., into a helmet bag that I got as swag at a convention some years ago. I like the softness of the helmet bag, once emptied it becomes very thin and easy to stow under the seat, and it expands and contracts with however much junk I decide to carry that day. Those tactical/military bags tend to keep their shape and take up a lot of space. Lots of good helmet bags on Amazon:
