Carry case for rechargeable eyewear devices

A kit comprising:

• an eyewear device comprising:
• an eyewear body disposable between a wearable mode and a collapsed mode;
• onboard electronics housed by the eyewear body;
• an onboard battery connected to the onboard electronics for powering the onboard electronics;
• a charge port arrangement comprising one or more charge-port formations conductively coupled to the onboard battery to enable charging of the onboard battery by an external power source via connection to the charge port arrangement;
• and
• a portable case for the eyewear device, the case comprising:
• a case body that defines a storage chamber for holding the eyewear device in the collapsed mode;
• a power source housed by the case body;
• and
• a coupling mechanism that is connected to the power source and that provides one or more charge-coupling structures in the storage chamber for engagement with the charge port arrangement of eyewear device when the eyewear device is received in the storage chamber, thereby to enable charging of the onboard battery of the eyewear device via the coupling mechanism,
• wherein the case and the eyewear device are configured such that reception of the eyewear device in the storage chamber in either of at least two different storage orientations automatically establishes a charging connection between the charge port arrangement of the eyewear device and the coupling mechanism of the case.
