These binoculars are fine but we hate the case they came in. It is terribly awkward to remove the glasses. Is there a better case for them?

I have not had the chance to use mine much, but from experience with other equipment I would suggest keeping them in the case just for transport and storage. Once you get where you'll be using them frequently, consider using a binocular harness. I have had one I use for my camera and I just ordered this one for my binoculars: Nikon 6121 Prostaff Bino Harness If you replace the neck strap with a harness, it allows you to have it within reach while otherwise being hands-free, takes the strain off the neck and the lens caps can be kept on until needed and stay attached to the harness to prevent loss. Hope that helps.

Yes and yes. It's a padded, soft-shell case. Nothing fancy, but it offers modest protection. And the lens caps are plastic. I'm very pleased with these binoculars.

Both ends have covers. The "eye" end is not attached & can be removed. The other end the covers are attached to the binoculars, but with regular usage and quickly cam loose.

I remove my glasses to look through binocs. Otherwise you'll smudge your glasses. Had to start wearing my glasses on a chain, though, so I could find them.

The case (which is very cheap feeling) has a place where the lenses can screw into it. I was not very pleased with these lenses and do not recommend them. It's a nice idea, not very well executed. You can find better lense sets out there.

I have had my binoculars for a couple of years so this is not up to the minute info. Mine did come with a a soft case which closes with velcro when folded across the top of the binoculars. The case is very soft and only protects from moisture to a certain extent and dust.

Sure the lens caps tend to come off. And sure they Nikon should redesign these. But they are attached to the binocular strap so they are not going anywhere. I like the fact that they are attached to the strap rather than loose caps that you have to find a place for like your pocket. Nicole don't let this minor negative deter you from some really fine binoculars.

I've noticed the design of the Nikon case allows the strap from the binoculars to extend outside of the case. As a result, the case is carried by the binoculars. When the binoculars are in use, however, the case is separated. I use a LowePro sling for my camera - allowing rapid access. One might also work for your binocular dilemma.

I bought this case twice for my twin sons along with these glasses, GUNNAR Computer Eyewear - Rocket Onyx Frame, and both of my men say that the case fits the glasses perfectly. That's all I know about the case fit. Part of why I bought these particular glasses is because my sons are big men and needed glasses that would fit their "larger than most" heads. People reviewed these glasses as being very comfortable for large heads and it turned out to be true. The cases fit the glasses. Good luck.

Perhaps Bushnell changed what's shipping with the binoculars . . . . I received a soft case, neck strap, and a cloth bag along with the binoculars. The soft case is just a bit larger than the binoculars.

Well, I can say that the strap holes seem to be pretty standard. I am sure if you wanted you could find another strap that works. The strap that comes with the binoculars are pretty good though.

Unfortunately, they do not have any way to attach them to safe keep them. I simply take them off prior to hitting the field and leave them in my vehicle or pockets. They lens covers are attached and simply flip down out of the way...but in all honesty there a pain, because they do on occasion get in the way, especially while bird watching. If you are using a harness strap, you'll find they keep the binoculars tight against the chest. Which will protect both the eye and lens. I do carry a $10 lens pen for emergency cleaning while in the field. Hopefully, this will help you.

I'm sorry but the binoculars were a gift for my special needs grandchild who has hidden them in her room. I guess she likes them but I have no details. I can say they are sturdy cuz she has not destroyed them.

Yes you are correct.. I have these exact binoculars ( and love them ) .. I purchased the : B + W 58mm MC (Multi Resistant Coating) Clear Glass Protection Filter, #007 ... and they fit Perfectly.. There are cheaper ones out there that dont thread onto the objective lens as perecissionly as these "german made" ones do.

Yes. I use the strap on the binocs while it is in the case. The case also has a belt loop. Really nice binoculars.
