I was so happy to find this item.  My dad loves to have his glasses always close - but he's not the type to wear glasses on top of his head or down on a chain.  He has always loved cases like this; and nowadays they are very hard to find.  I purchase this as part of his Christmas gifts.  He was suprised and excited about this, since he hadn't located one recently on his own. He was very pleased with the look and quality of this item as well.
