Kimmo, post 305,
The Urban Jungle binocular strap as well as the strap for the case are both 2,5 cm wide, The binocular strap has a minimum length of 2x45 cm. Both straps have no padding (althoug a padded piece can be added or removed), what I like a lot, since I carry my binoculars often in my backpack and I do not like the wide padded straps (I know that a lot of people like these a lot, but not for me, it is a matter of taste).
The case for the Wild Nature is well made, but too large for me to be carried in a backpack, that requires a case as snugg as possible (I know that is not everybodies taste, but it is mine). The Wild Nature bag has a zipper and it takes some time to remove the Companion from its case, whereas the (in my opinion far too expensive) Urban Junglee case does not have zippers but very convenient sliding closure facilities: no noise and fast.
I did not try the Northern Light straps and case yet, but I am sure that the contoured shape is not something I will choose, again a matter of taste. The felt case looks beautiful and will certainly make excellent pictures in the snow for the owners, but again that will not be my choice.
I suppose that Swarovski thought: all these comments about our cases: we now offer different choices, so everybody can be made happy, but we let them pay.....
