Funny, I just purchased the Wandrd last week for a new set of 82mm filters. Its absolutely fantastic. As your videos show its the same basic principle as the Nisi although it comes with 4 slots and costs $12 more @B&H ($32 vs $44).
I also have a Kase magnetic filter case for my 77mm filters and it works fine except I wasn't fond of the single magnetic attachment as it could inadvertently open and my filters could then end up on the ground. A second, and more minor, point is it isn't completely closed so dust/water could get between the top flap and side enclosure. Haven't had a problem with it though. These are just potential problems that I saw which led me to look for something else (Wandrd).
BTW, the Kase filter pouches that you linked are a new release. B&H didn't even list them last week and neither have any reviews. After looking at them I probably would have went with the Wandrd simply because of size. The Kase pouches come in 6 & 8 pouch variations. I prefer a 4/5 pouch max case because I like to keep the filter sizes together.

From this 3 I own only NiSi and is very good, I will buy Wandrd soon as well
Do you think there is a risk of damaging filters when you squeeze case in your backpack very tight ? I remember using softer f-stop case when backpacking. Once I put my case in very limited space in my backpack, my 77 circular filter make a circle in 10x100 filter ... complete damaging my 100x100 ND
So now I keep 100x100 in my custom made filter case

Yes, there absolutely is a risk if you're squeezing glass filters into a very tight space if its being pressed against something else. How much of a risk I don't know. It mostly depends upon how its packed and what it could come in contact with. But good filters are not cheap and are made from either glass or resin. Both can break if enough force is exerted against them.
Just about every filter case/pouch comes with a carabiner that can be clipped to the outside of a backpack or to a belt loop. I'd utilize that before risking damage to expensive filters.
I've used a variety of padded filter cases and holders; flat and stacked, and I find they take up to much space, and cost too much money. I've been using metal stacking caps for a couple of decades, and I think they're great.
