Might not be the prettiest or most organized, but the bag keeps the thread and bobbin together, keeps dust off and keeps the tails contained.
This is what I've been doing. There've been some great ideas on here, but I think I may carry on with this, as it has all the advantages you mention. The bobbins for my 3 machines are different enough for me to be able to store them together.
