Happy reading, many threads.
These Eyekepper EVA Zip Cases weigh less than an ounce, and they’re rigid:
I made a case out of a tyvek bubble wrap envelope from the post office. Put a piece of velcro on it
and it works fine for what I need. Weighs about 8 grams or so.
Take a pop bottle and cut one end off …
use a pop bottle as carbonated drinks tend to have stronger bottles
you can also use this as a scoop, or if you leave the cap end on, as a free end scoop for yr sawyer
cheapest option
;)
Have you seen these – they combine a leash (retainer)Â and protective cover in one:

here’s what I came up w/ for the time being anyways; not bombproof, but provides decent protection
a lens cleaner bag 0.2 oz, a 4×6″ bubble wrap heavy ziplock 0.2 oz; 1.0 for glasses and case, it’s sealable too
