Abstract: An eyeglass case is provided having a rigid tubular container with an open first end, a closed second end and a lid attached to the rigid tubular container that covers the open first end. The tubular container also comprises an interior surface defining a housing chamber for receiving the eyeglasses. A protective liner is mounted on the interior surface defining the housing chamber, as well as the interior portion of the lid, to provide a soft, protective surface to protect the eyeglasses from scratching while in the eyeglass case. The lid is preferably hingedly attached to the tubular container so that the lid can be easily opened and closed. The lid further comprises a latch that secures the lid over the opening in the closed position.

Abstract: An eyeglass case is provided having a rigid tubular container with an open first end and a closed second end. The container also has an interior surface defining a housing chamber. Mounted against the interior surface is a resiliently compressible insert. A receiving slot is formed between the insert and a portion of the interior surface of the container. As glasses are received within the slot, the insert compresses so as to bias the glasses against the interior surface of the container, thereby securing the eyeglasses within the container.
