Put the strap on the binocular then unzip the case and unsnap the back flap.  Lay the binocular, focus wheel up, inside the case and pull the strap back  through the flap opening and then re-snap the flap closed around the individual straps.   Zip up the case and hang it around your neck.  Unzip it when you are using the binocular and the case will hang below the binocular and under your chin. Your wife will decide if she likes it that way.The Trinovid BN even with its older coatings is still an excellent binocular.Bob</blockquote>
