This case is very nice. The rugged design with the bolts on the outside is cool. I have not traveled with it but it does take up some space so I don't think I will. Another drawback is the foam deteriorating. The X Metal logo on the front makes it even better.

As all previous reviews say, this is THE case. Nothing else is even remotely similar. It is of course big and bulky, but offers 100% protection and 750% wow factor...
Regarding the foam, I used a computer mouse pad for replacement of the bad 'bottom' foam. It looks almost exactly like the original but is much more durable and easy to replace.

Bottom line: If you have the X-metal, you should give them the case they deserve!

Beautiful piece of design. There is no better display / case for my Romeo 1.0 sunglasses. They can take a lot of abuse while keeping my beloved Romeos free of damage. It looks 100% OAKLEY as well.

It's an Awesome and special sunglasses case in the world. I never know another similar design with oakley xmetal. Unfortunately irt doesn't produced anymore...

Great industrial design, rugged, angular. Shame about the foam. Would have been nice if they gave us something equally as long-lasting for wear. Seems a bit of a con: once the foams worn, you're looking at either finding another pair in mint condition or trying to knock up some foam that fits instead, inside.....you're looking at a max of fifteen years maybe eighteen, tops.
