It is somewhat similar to the Zeiss case, but the outer shell is hard plastic, it zips down both sides so that it opens completely flat. There is also a velcro catch at the top so that the case closes around the binos even if it isn't zipped. The inside is padded and form fits the binos plus a spare set of AA batteries, and the binocular strap comes out the top, so that the binoculars strap is essentially the case strap.  While I realize that neck strap length and shoulder strap length maybe different and some prefer a dedicated case strap, I always like the notion that the strap was at all time securely holding the binoculars and I could quickly unzip and drop off the case.I am surprised that this design did not continue for other Canon binoculars, and did not inform any other cases that I know of.  Perhaps others had problems with it or it is out there and I just haven't seen it.If you google for images using "Canon 15x45 case" you can see what I am talking about.Alan</blockquote>
