How often do you need a new case?

I contacted Alcon regarding the length of time you use the "cleaning" case. I was told you could use it for 2 -12 oz. bottles then it should be discarded and replaced. Keep in mind that each bottle should be used within 90 days of opening. And it certainly has extended the life of my lenses and the comfort!

The last case I bought in December 2012 has a "best by" date of July 2013. They usually have about 6 months from when I get them, unless they are on sale when they may have only a couple of months.

yes...better to buy it new...I did b/c I want the case but they usually include the case

That's what I used the case for. I did crack over time shipping it all over the U.S. on UPS. But because the price was reasonable it was okay. Cheaper to replace it ever couple of years than paying much more for more durable containers.

You do not need a new one unless you break it in the process. You need to be very careful.

I've had the case since Christmas and I haven't had any problems. I guess if you take it in and out a lot it might happen but the case is light enough that I've only had to take it out once to do something.

No, I have not seen any cases either. Maybe you should email Lifestraw and request that they make cases or better yet partner up with the company and invent one. A case is a great idea because I worry about breaking it while being stored. Think I will go to Michaels and get creative. Or the pcv idea might be even better. Thanx!

I haven't had a problem with mine but I knew this was temporary until I could get the one case I really wanted. There is no warranty on the case as far as I know. Sorry you are having problems with yours.

You would need to replace the case. This is a great case, I am totally impressed with it.

I've had mine for at least 2 years now. It works just as well as when I had bought it even though I've dropped it more than a few times now (I do use an Air Case on it). I'm guessing some of you guys must really abuse it or something.

So far the cases we purchased have not had an issue. It did concern me too, but so far so good. 3 - 6 months now.

I`m sorry, Frederick, I have a different case.What I can say is that I bought a used one -"like new", and it broke in less than 4 weeks!!!!Will never buy from this seller again, for sure!

I change mine about every 6 months, but I only use it at work. It doesn't get everyday or all day use.

There is a cartridge that can be replaced, I don't know how often it needs to be done! I haven't had mine long enough!

They actually last for a very long time under normal use. Just slip the case on and you are set for years to come.

I find that about once every 2 months, I take it out to the garage and give it a good blow with my shop vac on reverse. Lots of dust comes out, but the key is that it does come out. Then the case is clean as new.

I had a similar problem, you should be able to get a replacement case, via a cross ship, as to not leave you without the case till the replacement comes. See my review http://www.amazon.com/review/RKNVQGPQ31LOF/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00GG0S00A
