Im going to use an old case of lesser quality that i had laying around because i often needs binocs in a hurry and i cant bother with trying to fiddle with a too tight case

These seem to have a fairly narrow exit pupil which makes adjustment to use with eyeglasses very sensitive

Users without eyeglasses should find these much easier to use

I have difficulty keeping my arms up while holding something so most decent binoculars are impossible for me
