REMOVABLY ATTACHABLE EYEPIECE SHIELD
An eyepiece shield (10, 10b) for a sporting optic (14, 14b), such as binoculars or a spotting scope, comprises an irregular frusto-conical shell (22, 22b) with a narrower end circumscribing at least one eyepiece hole (26), and a wider end circumscribing an oblong eye opening (30, 30b). The eye opening is non-parallel with the eyepiece hole, and has a concave profile with respect to at least one viewing axis (34) between the holes. The shell comprises a flexible and resilient, laminate material with different inner and outer layers sandwiching an intermediate foam layer. In addition, the shield comprises a fastener (114) with first and second fastener portions (118, 120) carried on opposite sides of the shell at the eye opening to closed the shield with the opposite sides of the eye opening folded in towards one another, and the fastener is fastened with the first and second fastener portions joined together.

System comprising a portable switching device for use with a portable electronic device
A lens and/or a view screen of an electronic device having at least one case can be cleaned by wiping the view screen with a cleaning component wherein the cleaning component is configured to selectively couple to the at least one case or some other substrate using a magnetic attractive force. The cleaning devices may have secondary applications such as securing fly fishing lures, activating or deactivating a device having a magnetic switch, or preventing sunglasses from sinking. They may also be manufactured without a cleaning component for use with the secondary applications.
PORTABLE STORAGE DEVICE
A portable storage device for transporting and providing access to items. The portable storage device includes a cylindrical body portion including a lower portion, an upper portion, and a plurality of storage portions arranged along a length of the cylindrical body portion in a longitudinal direction, each storage portion configured to store and provide access to an item. The portable storage device further includes a base portion detachably arranged on the lower portion of the cylindrical body portion.
Reconfigurable cases for portable hand-held devices and methods
A case for a portable hand-held devices, such as binoculars. The case assembly includes a main case portion having an opening defined by a periphery and a cover. A reconfigurable member is attached to at least a portion of the cover and can be configured to correspond to an outer profile of the hand-held device being stored within the case.
