Maybe use a soft-sleeve case?

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

That's what I do, and its inside doubles as a cleaning cloth
What type do you have? I have a good one atm, but I've really wished the inside would work like that!
It's from eyebuydirect
Thanks! I'll give them a look!
If you can find an eye glass shop that can order them OvvOs. I'm pretty rough with my glasses (rock climber, falls asleep with glasses on, general clutz and eats it while walking) and I just had the lenses on mine swapped out for my new prescription after 4 years and they've held up wonderfully. One of the arms broke when they were adjusting the fit on my face (metal fatigued after 4 years of abuse). The company sent out a new set of arms and got them swapped out ASAP now they're good as new (plus they sent a new set of all of the soft bits too). As a bonus they're not Luxottica owned (if that matters to you).
Fantastic recommendation, will look into these! Never heard of OvvO.
Going to second Ovvo. I have a pair of their titanium frames, and they're awesome. I can bend and twist them and they just flex right back into shape. I like that the arm hinges don’t have any screws or springs, they're just folded metal oragamied together. Plus, they're ridiculously light.
Tbh, the only frame I broke was a second hand one. But also, I wear my glasses all the time, except for sleep. The glasses itself get scratched after a couple of years though
