I have been reasonably happy with the binos themselves, but some of the ancillary stuff left a little to be desired and I am now wondering how to replace it ... To be specific, the hard case that came with the binoculars is/was kinda junky, and the strap has come off one side so it has essentially become useless (except for storage). Are there places that specialize in bino cases? I have also managed to lose both of the smaller lens caps, possibly because the rubber eye-guards made for a really loose fit, and in the dark ... well. I suppose I could cobble together something out of cardboard ...
