The Carson Binocular case was a true disappointment. Needing to replace a case for my Nikon Monarchs, I found only this product. It should not be called a "case". It's not even a sleeve. Though it may have some value in protecting bins from shock damage, moisture and dust (and dropping) are not addressed in this design. It is simply a wide strip of neoprene with tapered ends that fasten with a magnet. My binoculars, which are listed among the ones stated on the packaging for which this "case" is suited, are apparently a bit too long for the magnetic closure to work reliably.
The "case" is intended to remain attached to the bins while using them. Poor idea as the end of the "case" near the eyepieces interferes with breathing as it falls in front of the nose and mouth.
Some may find a use for this item as added protection in combination with a true case when traveling. But it did not serve my purpose.

Being an avid bird watcher, I am always looking for new ways to refine my hobby. Carson's BinoArmor saves me a tremendous amount of time when I am out in the field. I no longer have to bother with taking the time to take off my lens caps on my binoculars. The magnetic flaps give me very quick access to viewing birds while at the same time keeping my lenses safe from any dust, scratching and debris. The magnets are also terrific as they are very quiet and do not scare off the birds. Having a pair of 8x42mm binoculars, fitting them into the BinoArmor wrap was not an issue at all. I would highly recommend to this product to anyone looking for a new and innovative way to protect their binoculars.

I returned these as I did not think they were very well padded. Bought the Eagle Optics 42mm Ranger Case which seems very sturdy and well padded.

This did not fit the item for which it was intended. It is kind of cheesy, but probably will work. It probably won't be effective in dense brush, but would serve in open areas.
