Ultra compact AAA battery holders?

I have a project that requires a 2X AAA battery holder that barely takes up more room than the two batteries alone. This common type:

is still too big, at 1/2" high, and 2" long. The holder still needs to maintain a tight grip on the batteries, but allow easy toolless changes.



Any ideas before I start building them from scratch?

Farnell have PCB mounted holders (actually its a single spring part - you use one for each end). I've only bought 'em in AA, but I think they come in AAA too.... /A
