I’ll admit it—I bought this Daily Objects Black Faux Leather Foldaway Slim Eyewear/Sunglass Case for myself. I had no intention of sharing it, let alone losing it to my wife within 24 hours of unboxing. But as fate would have it, she took one look, declared it “too classy for just one person to own,” and now we both have one.
And honestly? I don’t regret it.
First Impressions: A Case That Means Business
When I first held this case, I was surprised—it’s heavier than I expected. Not in a “lugging-a-brick-around” way, but in a “this-isn’t-flimsy-junk” way. The black faux leather finish gives it a sleek, sophisticated vibe that wouldn’t look out of place in a luxury handbag or a boardroom table. It’s minimalist, smooth, and just the right amount of structured.
It’s also slim yet protective, the kind of balance that’s hard to get right. Unlike those rigid, bulky hard-shell cases that make you question if they belong in your pocket or a suitcase, this one folds away neatly when not in use. Ideal for people who hate clutter (like me) but still want their eyewear safe.
Functionality: Not Just a Pretty Face
Let’s get into the real reason this case is worth considering: its foldability. This thing collapses flat like it’s practicing yoga, making it incredibly convenient to slip into smaller bags, jacket pockets, or even a laptop sleeve. No wasted space.
Protection-wise, it does its job well—it shields against scratches, dust, and everyday knocks, though I wouldn’t go tossing it into a bag with heavy tools. It’s more “let’s keep things elegant and safe” rather than “I’ll survive being crushed by a bowling ball.”
It comfortably fits both sunglasses and prescription glasses, which is great if you like to swap between the two. And while it doesn’t come in a variety of colors (black is the only option), I’d argue that black never goes out of style.
The Good, The (Slightly) Bad & The Perfect Gift Factor
What I Loved:
- Compact Yet Protective – It keeps glasses safe without the bulk.
- Classy Look & Feel – The black faux leather adds a premium touch.
- Foldaway Feature – A space-saver that actually works.
- Sturdy Build – It’s not just stylish; it’s durable.
- Great Gift Option – Ideal for anyone who values a mix of fashion and function.
What Could Be Better:
- A Bit Pricier Than Expected – A slight price drop would have made this a steal.
- Heavier Than It Looks – Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting.
Final Verdict: Worth It?
Absolutely—especially if you (like me) have a partner who “accidentally” claims your stylish accessories. If you’re looking for a sleek, functional, and space-saving eyewear case, this one is a winner. And if you’re hunting for a chic, practical gift, you’ve just found it.
Now, if only Daily Objects made a tracker for eyewear cases… because I have a feeling mine’s about to go missing again.
