Where can I get plastic strips for glasses case?

The 2 bendy strips that go in the opening of the glasses case, open when you squeeze it?

I don't have an old one I can reuse.....

Thx

A recent thread I remember

They are "internal flex frames" apparently :)

brilliant thanks!
I thought they were plastic though and more "simple"? ie a bit like those plastic things you put in short collars?

TBH, i have no idea - these are the ones that kind of bend and snap shut I believe. I only found them last time by googling because I do love a challenge!

If I remember from where I read it initially, I will link, but they recommended a cheap extending type tape measure that builders use and cut it into pieces to make a squeeze and snap type fastener! It was used in this instance to close a shopping bag, and I bought two cheap measure from Tescos when they were about 30p each on clearance! Needless to say they are still waiting to be used, but I will sometime!!
