Okanagan:
I suppose you used the duct tape to hold the bear for the picture? ;-)
I can see the gap of which you speak. My Minox 10X43 fit this case perfectly - no gap. (No picture with a dead critter either!) Which leads to your innovation. I might try that just in case. I have no tension on the glasses when using them - which as you suggest might be adjustment. I like the way the binos drop down when I unhook the flap - no cover to futz with, and no noise.
