[QUOTE="BruceH, post: 3445125, member: 106398"] Jgraider ..... Thanks for the confirmation. That is what I was thinking from browsing the website. Hopefully Trevor will respond if they have any plans on offering a case. Off hand, one would think it is easy to find the right aftermarket case, but I have found it to be a hassle. Most of the cases are OEM only. To me, any binocular presented as a premium offering should include a case. Lack of a case would mostly likely not stop me from making a purchase if it was a model I really wanted, but it would be a negative. Zeiss initially marketed the entry level Terra packaged in a clear plastic container with a pouch. However they did offer a nice cordura case for the asking and a few bucks for shipping. The pouch was not that popular with some of the members but the case offer took care of that. Maven also excludes a case, which does seem strange since their unique marketing approach is a custom look. I would think they would have a selection of cases to go with that custom binocular. There is an OEM case I have seem that is used by several binocular sellers and it would go well with the Toric. Looks like they are outsourced from China with some customization for each binocular manufacturer. Zen-Ray uses it for the Prime.
