How well does the C&F micro slit foam withstand the removal and
insertion of hooks?

Much better than ordinary fly foam which tends to get ratty rather
quickly. I recently replaced the foam in my Fly Trap with some C&F slit
foam.

Also with the expense and time invested in flies the occasional dunkying
during spring runoff might seem to warrant a waterproof case, any
thoughts or concerns you might have with respect to that?

The swingleaf version of the C&F box holds twice as much as a typical box.
I use a Filson's chest pack when fishing. Although it's cotton, the
fabric is tightly woven and even when I get dunked very little water gets
in. If I get really soaked, I've got more things to worry about than
rusty flies.
