Description
This glasses case carries the periodic table of the elements across its lid, set out in full from hydrogen to the noble gases, with the lanthanides and actinides in their own rows beneath. Each tile gives an element's number, symbol and name, and the groups are picked out in their own colours, from the reds and oranges of the alkali and alkaline earth metals to the greens, teals and charcoal greys further along, all on a pale ground under an orange-red heading. It is a long, rounded oblong that opens like a clamshell, measuring 15cm long, 5.5cm wide and 3.5cm deep, and weighs 0.1KG. A beige lining fills the inside, and a grey cleaning cloth comes with it.
Slim and light, it slips easily into a handbag, rucksack or work bag and keeps your glasses away from keys and loose change on the way. At home it earns its place on a bedside table, a desk or beside a favourite reading chair, so your glasses always have somewhere to go when you take them off. As those figures are for the case itself, it's worth checking your folded frames against them before you buy. The chart itself is a pleasure for anyone who remembers learning the elements at school or works with them every day, and it becomes a talking point each time it comes out of a bag.
The body is steel, which gives the case a rigid shell, with a printed PU plastic cover over it and a PS plastic lining inside. Wipe the cover with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away, and keep the cleaning cloth for your lenses, folded into the case beside your glasses so it is always to hand. We like it as a small, useful present that turns an everyday object into something worth looking at, or as a cheerful replacement for a tired case.
