Hi, Rick- I have been doing that... and for my Fuji 10x50FMTR SX's- which came with no case- I found a small backpack-style padded carrying case intended for a Wii video game console! Absolute perfect fit!

Hello Wes,
What do you think of the case for your Garrett 20 x 110's? I have found that the pressboard is starting to separate from the trim along the long end on the bottom of the case. I have been thinking of getting or making a better case for mine.

Hi-
I have not had any problems or gripes with the case for my 110's... but then I haven't had the case outside that much. Only had it out at the club site once, and the other times I've used it have been at home- and I left the case inside & carried the bino's out. There's a lot of weight there, though... might talk to Zach at Garrett and see if he has any comments? If the case eventually starts having problems, I'll certainly take steps to come up with another, better case befitting the bino's. I might even have a case made for it by a company I've had make some cases for a couple of my telescopes- Case Technology (www.casetechnology.com). They do nice work fairly reasonably. The other option might be a pelican case.

Hi all,
FYI, I have run into this situation on more than one occassion. No big deal for me. I know my IPD (or the indicated marker on the dial), so I just "close" the binocular before inserting in the case. I appreciate a snug fit but not a tight one.
I suspect that the markets make cases to fit any number of binoculars--none specific. Also, OOS cases can sometimes surface. Hope this helps a bit.
Best reards,
Dave.
