Maven Binocular Case, Molded Foam and Ballistic Nylon (Large/56mm)

After having passed on 2 sets of good binos, I instead tucked the $$$ away and recently took the plunge for, what I consider, the 'finest' of the 'fine' binos for overall scouting, hunting field work and birding. I just received a pair Swaro EL 8.5x42, Model 34208. Since the case provided with binos is a soft material, I wanted instead to find a good quality, semi rigid, simple, strapless case, to protect the binos while at home resting on a table without fear of damage should they fall. Of course, when out in the field, I revert to my trusty chest harness with case attached. I did the research and focused-in on the Maven's, Mid Size. I found in doing the research that matching the (seldom provided) case interior dimensions with a particular size binos is no easy task. In this case, the models/size of the Maven binos paired to fit in the Mid Size were posted. Then, I was able to compare the dimensions of those models with with the dimensions of the Swaro EL's and found one - at least on paper - would fit. Turned out (see photo), the binos are a perfect (no wobble room) fit with the case. Eye cups were screwed in, lens covers installed on both ends.Put the order in with Amazon and received the case right on time, well packed and in perfect condition. The case has an exterior rigid/stiff fabric wall and should protect the contents with impact wit the floor. The workmanship of the case is very good. The interior is lined with a soft smooth fabric. There is one easy to operate zipper and a beefy rubber grip handle on top. While there is no carrying strap provided (which I have no need for), there are two sturdy 3/4" female snap-in connectors located next to the handle should you choose to use them. I must mention, I cannot see this case being used in a rough outdoor environment. I have the same comment for the case provided with the Swaro's. As far as the cost: Based on the cases I've used and seen, I would have guessed the Maven's to be in the $35-40 price bracket. Therefore, at $20, I feel I got quite the deal!!To all, enjoy the out-of-doors and be safe. PaddlerJoe

MAVEN's Binocular case is of excellent quality and is good for keeping expensive binoculars clean and safe at home.However, I will not use it in the field as it is very easy to drop the binocular when you fully open the zipper of the case while it is secured by a neck/shoulder strap -- that is if you get distracted and do not pay full attention to what you are doing.The MAVEN case is not provided with a belt loop at the back so your only option is to use a shoulder/neck strap.I prefer the design of the ZEISS Cordura Bag for HD/ED 42 which has a flip top cover - the binocular has no chance of accidentally falling off its side. The ZEISS flip top case also protects the binocular from rain since the top cover fully overlaps the side of the case. It is also provided with a convenient belt loop.I hope that MAVEN will take note of these observations and consider them as inputs to improve their case design.

This shell is perfect for my 10x42 Leica binoculars. Bit roomier then I needed; however, it actually works better that way, so I can keep my covers inside for the padding to protect my binocs. Zipper is sturdy, and the short handle works fine for me. Doesn't come with the clip on longer strap, which seems odd to me they don't offer that option when you buy this case, as many might want the shoulder strap. I don't; but some might. Good soft (hard enough) shell that takes a goodly amount of being tossed about in my truck, yet protects my costly Leica binocs. I recommend this case for sure.

As stated in the description, this case does NOT come with a shoulder strap. There are clips on the case (see photo) to attach a shoulder strap, but no suggestion for a strap as an add-on.

I use this whenever I have to go into work. They fit my pair like a glove and after a couple of clumsy drops I’ve had, it does the job and truly protects the inside product. If you are getting a high priced set of binoculars then this is a must have.

Well this is a really well made binocular case, but a bit pricey and I don't like paying for shipping BUT I needed a large case to fit 56MM weather armored binoculars that are 31/2 inches high when folded and they have a thick padded neck strap, objective and eyepiece caps. So even with my gripes about price and shipping 5 stars because the case is perfect for them and has a real nice snug fit with no movement and just enough space for their manual and two lens cleaning cloths. I will be ordering carrying strap for the case from Maven.

My B2 9 x 45s fit perfectly in this case! It is well made, attractive, and will provide the extra protection I wanted for my new binoculars because the cloth "case" Maven provides with their binoculars is not satisfactory for me. This case is plenty roomy for the binoculars and allows you to keep the neck strap attached to the B2s.

This arrived in a plastic Amazon shipping bag ... without interior support-foam or carrying strap (an incomplete Return?). It seems otherwise well made. It will do, I guess? $value$ for the price? Meh ?
