The case isnt very thick. I thought about deducting a star given the overpricing, but to be fair, they did improve the sound and I only bought these after year and half approx. I wish a took a picture before returning. Last headset required a hard case but this one looks like it might last a while. I can easily dress these sandals up or down with athletic wear or cute shorts and tops. Thanks for creating this product and offering it as such a reasonable price. "Arrived defective. Doesn?t fit 2016 Crosstrek. Was falling apart before it gets out of the box. Love this earbud!
