Two Accessories, Different Jobs
When you need to keep your glasses safe, two simple options stand out: a floating cord that keeps eyewear around your neck, or a hard case that stores them when not in use. Both serve different daily situations, and choosing between them depends on how and where you wear your glasses.
Product Facts at a Glance
- Floating Cord: Sold per package of 10 pieces. Available in many vibrant colours including Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, and Yellow. The cord is a multi-pack, so you can keep spares or match different outfits. Colour variety helps personalise your look.
Floating Cord - Kids Case: Durable clamshell case designed specifically for children's eyewear. Available in Blue, Green, Pink, and Yellow. The hard shell protects glasses from drops and crushing, which is especially important for kids who are active or rough with their belongings.

Floating Cord vs Kids Case: Key Differences
- Primary Use: The Floating Cord is meant to keep glasses on your person when not in use, preventing loss. The Kids Case stores and protects glasses when they are off.
- Protection Level: The cord offers no impact protection; it simply secures the glasses. The Kids Case's clamshell construction shields against scratches and minor impacts.
- Target User: Floating cords suit anyone who frequently removes glasses (e.g., reading glasses users). The Kids Case is designed for children's optical frames.
- Quantity per Purchase: Floating Cord comes in a pack of 10. Kids Case is sold individually.
- Colour Options: Floating Cord: Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Yellow. Kids Case: Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow.
When to Choose the Floating Cord
If you frequently take your glasses on and off throughout the day, the Floating Cord keeps them handy and reduces the chance of misplacing them. The pack of 10 means you can keep one at your desk, another in your bag, and a few at home. It's a practical, low-cost solution for everyday convenience, but it does not protect against scratches or accidental drops.
When to Choose the Kids Case
For children, a hard case is the safer bet. The Kids Case's clamshell design provides a secure enclosure that cushions glasses when stored in a backpack or drawer. Its bright colours make it easy for kids to spot, and the dedicated design for children's frames means a better fit than generic cases. The trade-off is that it doesn't keep glasses accessible—they must be stored away to be protected.
Can You Use Both?
Absolutely. Many parents use a cord to keep their child's glasses on their person during outdoor play and a case for storage at school or home. The cord prevents loss during active moments, while the case provides protection when glasses are off. Together, they cover both accessibility and safety.
