These cases, like they claim, can withstand tremendous abuse and still not let your glasses be harmed. The outside is just aluminum, but the angles and support structures provide maximum strength, while the foam inside softens any blows that may shock the contents. I have two, the original and X-Metal.

This will house most glasses except for wires (may be too loose), Scars, and X-Metals. Penny's should fit though.
TERRORISM -
An essential piece of equipment for protecting your shades, the Vault ensures that your prized eyewear remains secure. Solid, reinforced aluminum construction provides a lightweight shell of protection, and spring-loaded hinges keep the metal box shut while not in use. The interior also features cut-out foam padding to prevent scratching of lenses, although it's still necessary to use the microbag while storing your glasses inside. Aesthetically, the Vault exhibits Oakley's rugged, riveted, and rougue nature - definitely worth adding to the collection.

Really nice case and looks 100% OAKLEY!!. Can withstand a lot of abuse while keeping my chisel 4.0 lenses perfectly safe.

I bought one just because I never did when they were still made. I bought it for display only. It's cool, but too bulky for me to want to carry it around.

Having lost my first pair of Oakleys, a black Topcoat, when my torpedo soft vault rolled out of my car, I appreciate the squareness of this unit. I also like the spring hinge because it's annoying to fumble with the lousy plastic zippers Oakley puts on their other cases. The fact that it's real riveted aluminum and not some cheap material is totally sweet. Al doesn't corrode beyond the thin layer of aluminum oxide on the surface so this case should last until the apocalypse. The foam does degrade, but I make my own replacements so that's not a big deal.

Never heard the stories about what you could run these over with, but was told the story about being able to drop these out of a 3 story window and the case wouldn't open, thus the contents wouldn't be damaged. Didn't get around to trying it out as was stated before that the damn foam degraded so much that I was worried about putting anything inside it anymore! Would love to get it padded again with the lining from another case but for now they sit on display.....

This thing is big. It securely holds and protects your glasses. They do not move around inside when in transport. The foam keeps your lenses scratch free. The description say it will hold Monster dogs, but I find that a bit tight. It has that industrial look to it that disctinctly says it is an indestructable Oakley product.

It's durable, built like a tank, and looks sharp. It does what it's suppose to do which is protect your glasses. It's a not really something I should carry around because of it's size, but I have an X-Metal Vault, which is of course bigger, and I just put it in my backpack, I'll do the same thing with this one.

this is what I use to protect wy favorites which are the metal, especially my ruby penny when I go out. I dont worry about the glasses one bit when they are in this.
TheVault -
My favorite vault, I have one for every pair of shades I have, strong, not too heavy, feels like something special in your hand.

People always wonder whats inside, like with all the metal vaults, the padding will last a long time.

I would not be worried about pitching one of those vault from the top of a building, I know the vault AND the sunglasses inside would be fine.

I LOVE VAULTS !

These are nice but could be better.
The foam degrades which makes me also fear for my lens.
Can snap closed on you or your sunglasses ending in pain either way.
Still I love the design.

Appropriately named because it does keep your babies safe. function over conveinience because it doesn't fit good anywhere. it's great for starting up Oakley conversations too. People always want to know "What's in the box?"

This is cool for storing your frames away. I keep my Ducati half jackets in here and pull them out for special occasions. Just like any other rectangular case, they are hard to take with you but they are still super durable.

I believe the original description of The Vault said that it could be ran over by a Humvee. I'm here to say that it is true. I had to try it. One guy I worked with, his father had a Humvee. The only thing that happened is a few gravel scuff marks in the bottom of the case. It did not bend and it still opens smooth as ever.

Awesome case, by far the best you can get to protect you expensive oakleys or "Other" sunglasses, to me if not oakley not worth protecting anyway :)

i have a vault for my E wires 2.0 which are about over 3 years old now and i got a vault for it the same time.

the vault was awesome a bit cumbersome for some people but its done its job. i personally am a very athletic person and the regular case just wont cut it

My girlfriend got one of these for Christmas from me, and she loves it!
After all....you spend hundreds on the sunglasses, so why compromise on the case?
Awesome case to store your sunglasses.

Great cases! Fantastic looks and protection. Not as portable and handy as the torpedo style ... but they sure stand out!

Just toss one over to your worst enemy and let them pinch their fingers when they open it!

A truely magnificent case, this was my first ever oakley case and i got it with my first ever oakleys, being a gullible 14 year old I was told by the guy in the store that cars could run over these cases and they wouldnt break, i was too scared to try it but i did run over it with my bike and ofcourse it was fine. Oh and i smashed it with a hammer all it made was a tiny scratch mark.

This was a well received item when I first saw it. I had pinched my finger in the rear of the hinge though when I first played with it. It's great for storage of your fav Oakley. It's even great for travel if you are throwing the glasses in your suitcase. It's not good for throwing in a back pack for day trips, parks, etc. It's too much to worry about and to have to carry around. It's not really space saving like the Soft Vaults or new round Vaults.

I gave this a 3 rating due to the weight, sharp edges, and the fact that one of the hinge springs broke after a year and a half so it would not stay closed. I had to send it back with $10 to get a replacement from Oakley. That said, this case does its job quite well, and it is still a must for Oakley collectors. I use this case to protect my Ruby Penny.
