Abstract
A carrying case for binoculars which protects the binoculars during use without interfering with the user's operation of the binoculars. The carrying case comprises a tubular-shaped main body formed from a stretchable and resilient material which is normally undersized in relation to the binoculars, whereby the main body undergoes expansion upon insertion of the binoculars and surrounds the binoculars in snug-fitting relation. The main body has openings at opposite ends thereof for exposing the lenses of the binoculars during use, and an aperture for exposing a focus adjustment member during use. Each of the openings and the aperture contains removable closures for protecting the lenses and the focus adjustment member when the binoculars are not in use. Further, the resilient material of the main body facilitates the gripping and holding of the binoculars while in use.
