Moisten everything, in case (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wallet

'case' is the definition.
(wallet is a kind of case)

'moisten everything in' is the wordplay.
'moisten' becomes 'wet' (I've seen this in another clue).
'everything' becomes 'all' (all things).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wet' enclosing 'all' is 'WALLET'.

(Other definitions for wallet that I've seen before include "Small flat money case" , "ready to come out of it?" , "Billfold (US)" , "Pocket-size case" , "Folding case for money" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
