Glasses Case An Eye For A Bargain?

There are so many fabrics and design types on the market for the regular glasses case, that it is hard to know quite where to start. This article then will focus on presenting the more familiar types which can indicate which would be the most suitable for you to buy.

An increasingly popular style these days is the soft deerskin sort, which has a lining made of a silky lint free material to eliminate any chance of scratching the lenses of the spectacles. It often comes with a Velcro type edging to seal the opening and keep the glasses safely within.

The usual size of the soft spectacle cases is around about seven inches by four with stitched ends made from nylon thread giving strength and durability. There is a wide variety of colors and all of them are colorfast and hand washable. The current fashion is veering towards vibrant colors it seems.

One of the major benefits of the softer designs is that they are less bulky and far lighter than regular hard cases. One of the problems though is that less protection is offered from the possibility of being crushed from accidentally sitting or standing upon them. Having said that, price-wise they are a lot easier on the pocket than the rigid type, which is a point worth thinking about if you are in the market to buy.

The rigid Case is fabricated from extra strength plastic material which is able to hold up under much wear and tear. Mostly it is lined on the interior with a soft material offering protection against any scratching of the spectacle lenses. The cases come normally in a rectangular shape and are hinged in several points along the spine. They also come in a wide range of colors and some of them even have child proof locks on them making them safe from prying little fingers.

A complaint is made from time to time that the problem with rigid cases is that they are far too bulky, less easy to transport and a bit ugly. Although there may be some truth in that statement, one of the great advantages is that they are perfect in a workplace situation where accidents are apt to happen. Your spectacles are safer obviously in a rigid container. Having said all that, there is now an alternative. It is called the semi rigid.

As the name implies the Semi rigid is a hybrid being crossed between a soft and a rigid Case. Basically, it has an insert made of vinyl and placed between the lining and the outer casing. Because of this vinyl insert this type has far more protection than the soft case. If, the all too common place situation of sitting or stepping on the glasses occurs, the possibility of crushing is greatly lessened. So to conclude, the benefits of a semi rigid glasses case are; greater protection, variety of fabric types, various shapes to suit the spectacle wearer, lots of color choice and ease of transportation weather by hand, bag purse or pocket.
