LowePro CS 300 case for my Quest 2 arrived



so far, done this :

not complete

Blimey you could fit 3 quests in that. So large you'd have to pay extra baggage allowance on a flight.

 

[ShiWarrior]

i wouldt take it on a plane anyway

also when i have a power bank, mvh strap etc its going to take up more space

as i said, i would have liked the CS 200, but not at £60, when i got this CS 300 for £100 off

 

[ShiWarrior]

223 already ?

im now 181

paid via paypal to get even more money off

I don't think the strap has even restocked yet. I'm still #52. It'll be interesting to see how big the next batch is. Not really possible to know the wait time until then; is he making another 20, 50, 200? More?

Got the email from VRCover re Facial Interface replacements and went with the Winter Edition. These seem to get really positive views on other headsets so hopefully the same here

I am still at queue position #55 for the MVH Head strap.

Had some VR covers for my Rift Civ1 and yeah, they are really good.

 

[ShiWarrior]

oh what the hell

Ordered facial interface

cant wait to get my eyes re-tested so i can buy prescription lenses!

So do I.... doh!!! I just ordered without reading anything, idiot!

Edit: I see it just recommends using the Comfort foam if you need more space... I think it should be ok, I only wear the spacer to be safe, feel like my glasses have a few mm without the spacer anyway!

should be ok, as there are two types, one is so thick that you will be away from the lenses anyway

Yeah the comfort foam is generally like using the glasses spacer. People use thinner foam to get their eyes closer to the lenses and get more FOV. I have the comfort foam on my original Quest and it's very comfortable.

Same.

My glasses desperately need new lenses and I'm paranoid about scratching the Quest lenses. Really need to get an eye test booked.

Good to know! Aside from the Elite Strap this was the one thing I really wanted to get for it.

 

[ShiWarrior]

eye test booked !
Thanks @McPhee for the reminder

 

[simo182]

Are you going to get some prescription lenses straight away @ShiWarrior? Any idea where from?

 

[ScoobyDoo]

.

 

[ShiWarrior]

yes i will, before they change again lol

not sure where yet though

Would be great if someone could design 3D printed adaptors for lenses from somewhere like Glasses Direct or Specky Four Eyes. They regularly sell glasses for peanuts.

I know of a similar solution using lenses from an online optician in the US. It costs around $30 (or less if you have a 3D printer) to buy the glasses, remove the lenses and get them mounted. Problem is, international shipping adds about $15. And then there's the potential for import taxes. So it isn't really a feasible solution for over here.

I really resent the pricing on VR lenses. They're just an ordinary pair of glasses lenses in a small plastic fitting ring. Nothing special about them. No way should they be £60 or £70 for a moderate prescription.
