Of course you can't choose what sort of 'accident' you are going to have with your binos and for sure all cases are a kind of compromise unless you go to a Pelikan hard case but these are a bit of an overkill for most circumstances and if you want to take 3-4 binos on holiday they are impossibly bulky.Lee</blockquote>
