Moving on to accessories. No objective caps are supplied, nor is an ocular guard. These can be handy to protect the lenses when a pocket bin is carried in a pack with other items, so I can't understand why they aren't provided. How much would a few such bits of plastic cost??? The Zeiss 8x25 Victory Pocket is supplied with a nice neoprene strap, but it is quite bulky and not good for anyone selecting this bin for small pack size. I prefer very minimalist straps with non-scratching hardware, so I'm not happy with all the little fiddly and hard bits (loop connectors, buckles, sliders, rings) used in this too-complicated strap. I ended up fashioning my own strap from a length of soft 1.5 cm wide flattened tubular nylon webbing, with a length of thin black synthetic shoelace on each end (to slip through the ultra small lugs, then knot at the end to keep it from slipping back through). The clamshell case that comes with this bin is a joke. It is almost large enough to accept my Zeiss 8x32 FL, it only fits the Victory when the hinge is set at maximum IPD, and it has a LOT of wasted (unless you want to cram several of those bulky neoprene neck straps in there!) space between the barrels. Ridiculous! Instead, I am using the case for a Nikon 8x25 SportStar IV. It is a perfect fit, and can be used with the strap out (to serve as a strap) or folded up and tucked into the case with the bin. I'll be ordering an ocular guard (maybe from Opticron) to protect the lenses and keep them dust free when the bin is cased, since they are only covered by a folded-over flap.
