Civilian POD: Sunglasses Hard Case for Glasses/GPS/Camera

There's not a better sunglasses hard case around, as far as I know. Great, rigid case that fits easily into the pockets of my messenger bag or backpack. It also has a high quality, 360 degree swivelling ABS plastic clip for hanging off gear when there's no pocket available. Finally it has a belt loop, or shoulder strap loop (I use it to attach the case to the shoulder strap of my messenger bag) that snaps with a button clasp. The case seals with a nice heavy zipper and as zippers go this one seems to be high quality. Never jams on me, ever. The case is very spacious inside too. Every single one of my glasses fits into it. Aviators, reading glasses, big-frame Oakley glasses, etc. I'm a big fan of this case. I wish it was a tiny bit less expensive but at the same time, I do not at all regret my purchase. I don't think you would either.

I have prescription wrap around sunglasses and was having trouble finding a suitable case for them to fit into. I like to hang the case from a belt loop so it's easy to grab and open and change out with my regular glasses when entering or leaving a building. I also needed a case that was rigid to protect them when walking or sitting. The case is made from a one piece vacuum formed sheet of plastic with fabric glued on and a zipper attached to it. The hinge is part of the case which helps give it it;'s strength and keeps the clam shells lined up which makes it easy to zip closed. While it isn't crush proof if you want to abuse it, it does provide plenty of protection for the glasses under even more than normal circumstances. They only thing to make it perfect was to add another carabiner so it would hang properly from a belt loop.

I have had this product now for over two months. It is great. A little bit big, but it has to be in order to hold my prescription sunglasses. Because it is big enough to do so, I also keep an atropine auto injector in there as well (used for allergic reactions). There's a lot to be allergic to, here in Afghanistan. ;-) The sides are hard, so the contents are protected from minor bumps and such. There is a felt liner on the inside and the zipper is medium duty. The zipper slides easily mostly because the two halves of the shell line up really well, so there is not a point where the zipper would bind. There is a strap with a snap on one end. It is easy lace into the webbing on the outside of my body armor. You can put it around your belt without having to take your belt off. Additionally, there is a fairly large sized carabineer style clip. It has been out with me on missions and I have taken it with me to Europe, while on vacation. The snap-on clip was very handy. When my hands were needed for other tasks, I just snapped the case to a belt loop. Overall, a well made product. I can confidently recommend it to others as long as you know that it is kind of big.

Pretty nice case. Big enough for Oakley Straight jacket sunglasses. Soft interior, seems plenty good for expensive lenses. Between the 2 shells is a pretty decent quality zipper. The shells have a nice textured pattern, should be pretty heavy duty. When closed it feels pretty solid-not as solid as an actual hard case, but probably 75% there, it's plenty stout if your application doesn't require an actual solid/hard case. the other gripes I've read in reviews of this case are the clip and the snap button on the belt loop. The clip is pretty good. Many complaints were regarding the wire part of the clip being weak or flimsy. I'll say that while not the strongest thing in the world, it would be plenty good for the occasional clipping and unclipping from a belt loop or whatever you hook it to. The clip also has a little catch on the hook to help the gate stay closed if it's pulled too hard, but the clip itself is pretty solid, so I doubt it would be too much of an issue. The belt loop and strap are also pretty good. One reviewer said the snap was weak. Seems pretty good to me. If you pull on the little tab at the end the snap releases quite easily, but with some resistance. If you do, however, pull between the case and belt loop-it's pretty strong-I couldn't actually get the snap to release in this way, without excessive force which I didn't feel was necessary to apply. if attached through the belt loop on your right side, it puts the zipper right up top for easy access and a quick zip down gives you access to your sunglasses, or whatever you decide to put in there. Between the clip and belt loop, this thing isn't going to accidentally fall off anytime soon. The nice size, and nice finish really make this an attractive case. For my new Oakley sunglasses I thought it would be cool to buy an Oakley soft case. I'm sure they are nice, but A few more $$ than I was looking to spend and when it comes down to it, it's just a case. I'd guess the quality of this case is probably just as good. So that's my review. I hope you liked it, and I hope it helps. Thanks for reading.

This is an excellent case! I wear normal glasses as well as prescription sunglasses. As such, I need to switch them out whenever I go inside or outside. I keep this case clipped to my bookbag using my own carabiner, as the fixed one provided isn't the greatest quality. I don't much use the button strap, but it hasn't given me any trouble, so I don't mind it. Others have said the case is pretty large. I suppose it is, but it still comfortably holds my sunglasses and glasses (one at a time - A. to avoid scratching, and B. because I'm usually wearing one of the two), as well as a cleaning cloth. It's pretty sturdy, and has held up really well after months of daily use. Not showing any signs of wear, and my glasses have been kept safe and without scratches. I'd absolutely recommend this case!

This case is great! I bought it to fit onto my molle pack and couldn't be happier with my purchase. The case is very sturdy and takes a beating well. The design naturally exerts force outward, which I at first thought was strange and frustrating but I see now that it serves a purpose. It helps the case resist crushing force, I work at an oil refinery and my bag gets thrown around and beat up a lot. This case (including my safety glasses inside) have yet to take any visible damage. I wore it through rain, too, and none seemed to seep into the case. I would definitely recommend this case for heavy duty use. I might buy another for my non-safety glasses!

I just ordered new eyeglasses and I wanted a nice case to protect them, and so I purchased the POD sunglasses hard case. Here's my breakdown of the product. Fit & Finish: The case is a "soft" hardcase -- i.e. its crush resistant, not proof - you can dent it with your fingers if you press hard. It pops back into shape when you are done. It definately protects from drops at over 3 ft, as well as "sitting on" type of situations, but it is not a true hard case. It is made from a nice tight weave balistic nylon that feels good and well finished, the material slips in and out of pockets without snagging. The zipper is high quality as well and moves very smoothly. The stiching is also well done and fits the rugged nature of the case. Internally it is lined with a soft fuzzy fabric that protects the finish of lenses and frames without concern. Features: Their is a belt loop that has a chrome snap on it to fasten/unfasten the loop - the loop itself is sewn on with a strong box double stich. That same belt loop material is then looped at the top and sewn around a high-impact plastic snap hook. two things I wish for here. 1. the snap hook has a slight "hook" where the metal gate sits. This is presumably to make the gate more secure. the problem with this is that the hook catches on my belt loop making it difficult to unhook once on there. I'm probably going to file the hook down till it is just flush with the gate. 2. the loop that the snap hook is attached to is a bit too short. I'd like to be able to hook this to my belt loop and drop the case itself into my pocket - but it's a bit too short and so it sticks out of the pocket when clipped to the belt-loop. Points to consider: This case is very big, very roomy. It can easily hold 2 pairs of glasses and more stuff on top of that. that for some may be a positive or a negative. At first - I felt it was a negative as my sunglasses rattled around in the case, however i also realized that a pack of gum, my phone, and my keys all could go into this case as well - and then be clipped to my belt loop. This I liked, however you may not. The case is large, much thicker than 99% of eye glass cases out there, its about the size of a medium/large sized hotdog bun and essentially the same shape also. Overall: I Like it, but it is bigger than I expected and so I had to change the way I was doing things in order to use this case effectively. I believe that something 1 size down from this would be perfect for just eyeglasses.

This pouch is too big for a single pair of glasses but made of the right material to protect them. I liked the idea of the carabiner_type hook attachment but the piece of metal (metal spring) that closes the mouth of the hook comes off when you try and detach the pouch from the loop of your pants. You also need to reinstall it a certain way or it doesn't work as a spring. Something needs to be done to keep that piece of metal in place, without that this case is pretty worthless as far as I'm concerned.

Le produit est de bonne fabrication. Il n'y a rien a dire côté rigidité; la protection est bien assurée. L'étui est presque aussi profond que large, ce qui le rend monstrueux quant on l'attache à la ceinture. L'accroche est robuste, au point qu'on a beaucoup de mal à la sortir de la boucle du pantalon. On peut y ranger 3 paires de lunettes de vue, ou de très grosses lunettes de soleil. L'étiquette rouge, cousue, est plutôt mal venue. * Après 3 accrochages à une boucle du pantalon, la fermeture à ressort a disparue. Fort heureusement un ergot termine le crochet, sans quoi les lunettes étaient perdues. Décevant...

Es justo lo que esperaba excelente

I've been using this product for about 4 years now, possibly more. I worked a demanding job where it was worn on my waist belt and held on/protected my glasses while getting in and out of tight & awkward spots. Its gone camping, canoeing, flying, biking & hiking. It has proven itself durable & secure. Tough enough for everyday work use. I actually bought a second one a while back for a different pair of sunglasses, because I liked this so much. Both are holding up great, no signs of wear or tear. I came here to buy a third case for a loved one but its currently out of stock!

The zipper broke after a month of use Not very good for the price I paid

The case is sturdy and reliable. Great buy.
