Hey @jmhundley, you've discovered a great solution that is, in fact, a pretty common one. When I went to my first dulcimer festival there was someone there giving out pieces of the shelf liner for exactly that purpose.
My only advice is that when you store the items in your case, make sure they are not in permanent contact with the wood of the dulcimer. They sometimes leave a mark on the dulcimer's finish if left in contact for too long, especially in a case with little air flow.
