How to choose a glasses case

You glasses case allows you to carry your sunglasses in your trouser pocket, backpack or belt when you are hiking in the mountains. If you are looking for a sunglasses case, here are the questions that will help you choose one that suits your needs!

Why store your sunglasses in a case?

Sunglasses are fragile and there are times when you don't wear them on your nose.

The glasses case is useful for storing them at the end of the day or when the light level drops, without any risk of damaging them.

When you are not wearing your glasses, they need to be protected so that the lenses don't get scratched and the frame doesn't get knocked or deformed.

Often, it is when you remove them that your sunglasses are at the highest risk of getting damaged. This is why the case is an essential item for storing and transporting them.

Which glasses case to suit your needs?

Highly flexible and compact: the soft case

A case made of fabric is sufficient to protect your glasses from getting scratched in your sports bag. Any practical advice? Some cases are made of microfibre that cleans your glasses!
The semi-flexible case

Do you want to protect your glasses from scratches as well as from shocks? If that's the case, a semi-flexible case is the solution! Being slightly more rigid, it better absorbs impacts whilst remaining flexible.
The semi-rigid case

The most rigid cases protect the glasses from getting scratched, knocked or even crushed.

The material is heat-moulded. The case then tends to retain its initial shape.

For all that, a semi-rigid case will still be relatively lightweight thereby saving weight in a sports bag.

These semi-rigid cases are often recommended for children to make it easier for them to handle their glasses or for athletes who often carry their glasses in a sports bag.
