I bought one to protect my Titanium Pewter/Titanium Iridium Square Wire 2.0 SH's, and it certainly does the trick. However, I soon realized that it's a bit impractical to carry around, leading me to wish I had bought a Soft Vault instead. I do like the design though, as well as the soft inner-lining. Also, I appreciate how the small bumps all around the case help to keep it from rolling around. Overall, a well designed case that I use only at home to store my delicate Sq Wires when I'm not wearing them. One last thing, mine has a pretty terrible smell inside of it. I don't know if this is a common occurrence, but it was like that from the day that I got it.

Nice in principle, but a couple of problems. The Oakley site says this case fits Whiskers, but mine won't fit unless the glasses are angled with the lenses facing up, and then the case clamps down and compresses the frame slightly. Doesn't feel great, especially with pricey Rx lenses, so on to ebay it goes! I'd keep it for my 1st gen e-wires, but I noticed that when the case is closed part of the metal is exposed where the felt doesn't meet at the join. This feels perilously close to the lenses so my E's will remain in residence in my 1995 square metal vault! (It could use foam inserts too to stop frames flapping about inside.)

For the same price as a Soft Vault, it's either an aesthetics or purpose-driven choice to get one of these. I have one for each of my "vintage" pairs, so I'll never grab one of them by mistake. Great for display or protection, not very handy for use.
