CivilianPOD: Sunglasses Hard Case for Glasses/GPS/Camera

very nice case. Good looks, good features
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.

Like others, my spring clip broke the first time ...
Like others, my spring clip broke the first time I used it. I haven't really noticed a time when i wish I had the spring clip, the plastic clip grabs ahold of everything I put it on and is usually picky about letting go. There is also a belt loop with a snap, which I haven't used. I did fit it onto my MOLLE backpack and it worked, but seemed out of place so I didn't leave it there.The shell is reasonably hard, and should easily protect your glasses from a drop. If you sit on the case, it won't hold up forever. It will however let you know you are sitting on something you shouldn't be sitting on, and your glasses should be fine so long as you don't continue sitting on them.I use this case for a pair of prescription WileyX glasses, they are large and they just barely rattle inside the case. No, you cannot fit 2 pairs of glasses in here unless you are an idiot and want to scratch them up.

POD hard case - Civilian Lab
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.

BIG ENOUGH TO FIT OAKLEY'S I THINK!
At first i thought this might be 2 small for my sunglasses, but this was the perfect size. To help others decide, i don't have Oakley sunglasses so i grabbed the biggest pair of glasses i could find. In the images are my safety glasses. They are probably just as big as Oakley and they fit perfect.I have nothing negative to say about this case. I love it and i think you guys will 2. Give it a try, you can't go wrong with the price. They clip on about a single molle strap not counting the empty space between the molle. They will not fit the length of 2 molle straps on the 3.11 bags. Its ok though,works really good and if you need more you can always fasten the hook on a top strap or something. Im glad i went with this case and i hope these images help you guys because i sure could have used them lol. Take care
