One example of spectacles cases I have made over the years. This one is from nicely figured quarter sawn white oak. Box joint for strength, because some I made with miter joints exploded when dropped. Too lazy to take a pic of the inside, the finger hole is offset for a dowel with a rare earth magnet to hold the lid on. I used expanded vinyl for the padding on the bottom, since spray-on felt I think is too rough. Made long enough ago that I don't remember what stain or finish I used. 🤷♂️ Size is 6-3/4" long, 3" wide, 1-3/4" high.
Thanks, folks! Splint, I drop stuff all the time! And yeah, the wife doesn't want it. I used to put it in a drawer of my carving chest when I went to the club/class, but haven't gone in years. One of the "instructors" hasn't grown into or out of his stripes from when he was in the Army. A real jerk.
Nice little box Steven! Made something similar about 20 years ago for my Mom, to keep her glasses, pen & pencil, and the remote organized on the back of her couch... She set it on its side on a shelf, put something else I made for her in it, and called it a shadow box... She could never find her glasses, Bless her heart

Thanks, that's a funny spec case, what with the rocking horse in it. I keep my specs within reach on a side table when I'm sleeping. I need glasses to find my glasses. Didn't do me much good in '94 with the Northridge quake. Not much left where it was put the night before.
