I purchased two of these cases a year ago, one for home and one for work. I replaced the "home" case recently because the spring that holds the case closed was completely sprung. The other case, which is opened and closed less frequently is still ok, but is beginning to show the same problems. That said, the cases are very nice for the price and I don't mind spending another $6 to get a very protective hard-shell case.

Some reviewers have complained this case is very small, but I consider it truly Medium sized. I keep AJ Morgan reading glasses in them, and they are not super tiny readers, but glasses that are comparable in size to regular eyeglasses.

The case I purchased in late December 2012 has now broken (same problem, the spring has sprung), although the other one of the original two purchased is still doing ok. I'm debating whether to try this case one more time. I do like the size and until the spring breaks it is a very good case, particularly for the price. I'm lowering my review by one star since I have now had two cases that lasted one year or less, and one that has lasted well over a year.
