The case takes their place.   Simply unzip it and put the binocular up to your eyes and it hangs below it on the strap out of the way.  The case has snaps on the back of it to keep it from falling off the neck strap or, alternatively, to make its removal easy if that is desired.  The case is soft and flexible enough to carry around in a jacket or coat pocket.I give mine regular treatments with a good leather preservative.Bob</blockquote>
