Oakley have just announced that Ferrari Formula One driver and double F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso has joined the Oakley family of pro racers.  Alonso will serve as an ambassador for Oakley in Europe and around the world.  He is seen here in a publicity shot for the top eyewear brand wearing Oakley Fuel Cell Sunglasses in a custom design (above).

Alonso says “I choose Oakley as this is a legitimate brand which has been supporting a select group of Elite athletes around the globe for many years. Associating myself with world-class and prestigious brands has been a major part of my career and racing strategy from the beginning.  Oakley has vision – continually striving for excellence through technology and innovation… traits which are of paramount importance to world class athletes including drivers within F1 circles”.

BBC commentator Martin Brundle refers to Alonso as “The most complete driver on the grid”, he is also seen here wearing Oakley Holbrook Sunglasses (below).

Ferrari fans are in for a treat with these FR0095 wraparound Sunglasses.  We're taking over  £34 OFF the £112 RRP to let these go for just £77.90.  Thats a saving of over 30%.

While stocks last.

Dolce & Gabbana

More form over function with the Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses case, certainly not a practical design but does relay their luxurious brand rather well.  The Dolce & Gabbana case makes some effort to mimic or at least resemble a ladies handbag, albeit in miniature.  Although having said that, there is nothing miniature about this case as far as cases for glasses go.  This case is not exactly pocket sized, but it does say something for the quality of the brand.  The magnetic latch snaps shut in a satisfying manor and the diamonds that make up the logo will certainly prove to be the centre-point of conversation amongst your lady friends.

Opening the case reveals a cavernous space to store your nice new prescription glasses or sunglasses with room left over for cleaning cloths and plenty of fresh air too.

Gentlemen shouldn’t worry about the feminine nature of this Dolce & Gabbana case since men’s frames are usually provided in cases that are somewhat more practicle in nature.

Lacoste

This case from Lacoste screams Wimbledon Tennis and Strawberries & Cream!  This hard, square shapped quality-built case is sure to protect your eyewear when not in use and proves quite practical for everyday use.

Ferrari

There’s nothing too fancy about this Ferrari Sunglasses case, however, they have taken their trademark ‘red’ colour and applied it to their cases.  A closer look at the texture and stitching on this case reminds me of the honeycombe effect seen in carbon-fibre – the ultra-tuff, ultra-light meterial used to manufacture racecars today.  All it needs are some white ‘go faster’ Challenge Stradale stripes to finish the design off nicely…

Speedo

A unique and somewhat clever design that clearly takes some design elements from their swimwear products.  See how this case actually resembles a woman’s swimsuit.  This sporty, plasic heavyduty case features a rubbery finish sure to protect your frames from the odd bump or two.  I haven’t tested the theory but I would not mind betting that this case would not only be waterproof but would also float if you somehow decided to go swimming and forgot to take it out of your swimming shorts pocket.

Timberland

This case has a somewhat rugged feel to it and the colouring makes me think of wide open country/mountainous spaces associated with the Timberland brand.  The case also has a suede like texture which some may find weird to touch (in a ‘scraping nails down a black board’ type way).

Persol

Persol seem to like using leather in many of their cases, lovely.

Alexander McQueen & Just Cavalli

These designers like to use seriously durable hard cases, and they’re shiny!

While many of these cases are designed to keep your glasses and sunglasses protected and scratch free, its true that some cases provided by some of the top designers are probably not that practical to carry around everyday or throw into the glovebox of your car.  Some would go as far as to say they are merely packaging to ‘add value’ to the product.  Nevertheless there are certainly some cool designs available.

If you need something light to just slip your glasses into when leaving them in the car or some other safe place, why not try our Micro-Fibre Case/Cleaning Cloth.  It may not prevent your glasses from being crushed should you run them over with the car (yes, this really happened), but atleast it will prevent your lenses from getting scratched against your keys in your bag.

Found any interesting case designs lately? why not tell us about them.
