Description
This glasses case wraps a cheerful world map around a sturdy steel shell, and it comes with a cleaning cloth to keep your lenses clear. The map runs right around the lid and base in a soft sea green, with countries picked out in sunny yellow, pink, green, coral and orange and named in neat small print, from Iceland and Portugal across to Russia, Kazakhstan and Iran. Dashed grid lines cross the map, giving it the friendly look of an old school atlas. It measures 15cm long, 5.5cm wide and 3.5cm high, and weighs just 94 grams, so it adds next to nothing to a bag.
Because the body is steel rather than fabric, the case keeps its shape when it is squashed in a handbag, rucksack or coat pocket, which is just when glasses tend to get scratched or bent. We think it is equally at home on a desk or a bedside table, where the bright print makes it easy to spot when you are hunting for your reading glasses. It suits everyday frames and reading glasses alike; as 15cm is the outside length, it is worth checking that your own frames fold down a little shorter before you choose it.
The steel body wears a PU plastic cover that carries the print, and the inside is lined in plastic, so your frames sit against a lining rather than bare metal. To keep it looking bright, wipe the outside with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away, and save the cleaning cloth for your lenses alone. Keep the cloth in the case with your glasses and everything stays together. Wrapped up with a good book or a travel journal, it makes a thoughtful little present that will be used every single day.
