Glasses hardcase
on: January 06, 2011, 10:22:46 PM
I was looking for an accomnodation for my sunglasses that could hang from the chest belt of my Sitka... and I've found the Nite-Ize rugged glasses case: http://www.niteize.com/products/rugged-glasses-case

Nite-Ize's name is a guarantee, and I think glasses case's internal dimensions could host even bigger, protection goggles.

Anybody has given them a try? I'm very willingly to buy them.

          thank you in advance.

I have one, it's great, extremely robust and rugged, excellent protection for glasses.
But, don't let the picture fool you-interior is not as big as one could expect because the case is thick.
If you have curved sunglasses, you might have problems with it.
I would take some photos for you tomorrow...

thank you.
the final ballot was between it and the otterbox 8000 or 9000.
the nite-ize belt clip is 2", as much as the belt I have, and it weightened the scale on its side.

Internal dimensions: 2.25" x 6.1" x 1.83" for the nite-ize
Interior dimensions: 2.709" x 6.930" x  1.824" x for the otterbox 9000
Internal dimensions: 2.18 x 5.48 x 3.08  inches for the otterbox 8000

I'm still googling for the size of the otterbox's clip, but I think the 9000 is too long and the 8000 too thick for an easy belt carry.

Again, thank you for the pics :)

Pick it up from www.mypockits.com and I'll make sure you are hapy with it.  The owner is a good friend of mine!  :D

   I've carried one of the Nite-Ize Rugged Glasses Case since it first came out and if you wear glasses of any kind of prescription, drugstore readers, or sunglasses chances are that every now and then, you lose track of where you put them. Or I'd set down on them or I would drop them then step on them.:rant: Now not only is it easier to find them (I keep my driving glasses in the case on my visor), I now know that if they are in the hard case they are secure.
   The only disadvantage is that they are too small for your rap-around type of glasses or safety glasses. Well not to worry, because of my inside track with Nite-Ize I know they have a larger version in the makings! I'm looking forward to that version for my motorcycle glasses. :drool:
   I'll make sure and let everyone know when the larger version is out!!

Thank you all for the tips.

@Pockits: Is it a matter of days, weeks or years? :D I don't want the precise day, but it'll help to decide  if I can wait :D

@Def:      Thank you again, but if I recall from the past experience, there was something about international shipping. I've bought my
               Poke-It from a reseller, I don't remember what the problem was. I'll give it a try anyway, as usual when I get tips here :D
               Edit: $76.98 for the shipping, that was the problem :D

Prescription glasses

Sunglasses

It's too tight for my sunglasses, especially if you have curved one.
They can fit inside, but I'm not really satisfied, I'm afraid that it would scratch the lens.
Hope this helps!

Thank you, vladimir, I understand the problem.
I have to make some close misurements of the glasses I have to use, because they are not flat.

Thank you for the head-up and the work after the pics. :tu:

Just to address the possibility of the inside of the case scratching the lens, the case is lined so unless the glasses are so big and much too tight then I wound not  try to cram  them in there.

I'll try to find out a production schedule for the larger case.

To address the $76.98 freight charge, something had to be really wacky with the freight company interface or the weight ended up wrong. I've never had any freight charge come in that high. If you can give me more details I'll figure out what happened.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!
