Planet Earth Glasses Case Product Review

The Planet Earth self-finishing glasses case is hard leather that zips shut. It holds a 2×3″ needlepoint and is lined with the company’s signature grey and white striped fabric. Currently (April 2023) it comes in six colors.

The case is roomy. It will easily fit two pairs of glasses, even those with large lenses. The zipper does not go all the way to the bottom, so there is little chance of your glasses falling out. If you don’t want to use it as a glasses case, the size, about 6x4x2″, will make it fantastic as a travel jewelry case, a clutch, or a needlework tool kit. I plan on using mine for tools.

I like the hardness of the case. It should nicely protect glasses and other items. It also fits nicely in my hand and is comfortable to hold.

The 2×3″ opening has become very popular with tags, wallets, card cases, and this glasses case, all using canvas inserts this size. Many designers make painted canvases this size. It’s also really easy to make your own (I’ll have instructions for a monogram one on Monday.) I use one of the Bargello designs from my upcoming book, Bargello Luggage Tags, here.

Like all of the company’s self-finishing items, the case has two-sided adhesive covered with protective paper. In most of their products, the adhesive extends only slightly beyond the widow. The case is different; on the sides, the adhesive extends all the way to the edges of the case. When finishing, you’ll need to rip or cut the sides before placing your needlepoint.

Once the protective paper is off, place the needlepoint and tuck in the raw edges with a butter knife or a Cricut spatula.

I really liked the sturdy feel of this case, the great size of the window, and how easy it was to finish. It’s another great accessory from this innovative company.
