Lopar Rangefinder Case Review

50 Words or Less

The Lopar rangefinder case is a stylish, functional way to carry your rangefinder.  Light and slim.  Zippered compartment is ideal for a spare battery or charging cable.  Customization lets you make it truly individual.

Introduction

Golf offers more ways to express your personality than any other sport.  Leaving aside the millions of variations in the golf swing, players have endless options when it comes to their bag, headcovers, grips, ferrules, gloves, apparel, and more.  In a game with so much individuality, why would you carry your rangefinder in an ugly case that’s not much more than a billboard for the manufacturer?  Perhaps you didn’t know that you had a better option.  You do now: Lopar rangefinder cases.

Looks

Lopar rangefinder cases are perfectly on trend with the minimalism and classic style that’s currently en vogue.  As you can see, they’re available in a variety of textures and colors.  The selection above features Lopar’s leather grain cases and their basic vinyl (green).  Leather grain comes in four colors, the three shown plus cream.  Vinyl offers six colors including blue and grey.  They also make a green waxed canvas version.

If you want something bolder, Lopar offers a six limited edition camo colorways, three standard camo patterns, and four colors with an American flag patch.

Regardless of the material or color that you choose, Lopar’s rangefinder cases are water resistant.

Performance

It’s important to look good, but we need our gear to perform.  Thankfully, the Lopar rangefinder case is thoughtfully designed for on-course use.  These cases close with both zippers and magnets.  Using the zipper is best for keeping your rangefinder safe between rounds, but the magnets are more practical during the round when you’re taking it in and out frequently.  In the photo above, you can see that Lopar uses a pair of small magnets to accommodate the custom embroidery.  On their stock case, they use a single, larger magnet.

When I first unboxed the Lopar rangefinder case, I was a little concerned about its slim appearance.  I wasn’t sure that it would hold a large rangefinder, but it had no problem with my gamer, the Shot Scope Pro ZR [review HERE].

Inside the case, there’s a small zippered pocket.  This is a perfect place to store an extra battery so that you’re never without your rangefinder on the course.  If you have a rechargeable rangefinder, this is a perfect place to stash your charging cable so that you’ll always know where it is.

Finally, the Lopar rangefinder case connects to your bag with a small metal clip.  Most stock cases come with a larger carabiner, but the clip on the Lopar is more than enough for the task.  It also helps to keep the weight down.  The Lopar rangefinder case weighs just over two ounces, which is meaningful for the walking golfer.

Value & Customization

Lopar rangefinder cases retail for $45 to $69.  The waxed canvas models (not shown here) are the least expensive, the vinyl models are around $50, and the leather grain models are the most expensive.

As you can see, these cases can be custom embroidered, making them a great option as tee gifts for your next golf outing.  With a minimum order of 100 cases, you can also get custom printing on the interior of the case.

Comparing Lopar to other manufacturers, the pricing is similar, but I prefer Lopar’s case.  It strikes an ideal balance of structure, function, and style.

Conclusion

If you’re ready to give your bag a style upgrade, put your laser in the sleek Lopar rangefinder case.  Whether you decide to customize it or not, the balance of form and function in this case is not matched by anything else I’ve tested.

    Seems totally unnecessary. The hardshell case that came with my Shotscope rangefinder is more protective and not unattractive. I don’t need to carry an extra battery or charging cable–my rangefinder has a low batt. warning but will function for several rounds even when lit. I have plenty of charging cables at home.

    addendum to my earlier post–AND, a sturdy aluminum carabiner seems far more substantial and reliable than the clip on the Lopar which is pictured (appears to be plastic) and certainly does not weigh substantially more.

  3. The idea is to make something better and this failed on so many levels .
