A kit comprising:

• an eyewear device disposable between a wearable mode and a collapsed mode, the eyewear device comprising:
• an eyewear frame;
• onboard electronics housed by the eyewear frame;
• an onboard battery connected to the onboard electronics for powering the onboard electronics;
• and
• a pair of contact formations conductively coupled to the onboard battery, each contact formation being exposed on a front surface of the eyewear frame;
• and
• a carry case for the eyewear device, the carry case comprising:
• a case body that defines a storage chamber for holding the eyewear device in the collapsed mode, the storage chamber being defined at least in part between a pair of opposing main walls, the pair of opposing main walls being configured to respectively bear against the front surface and a rear surface of the eyewear frame when the eyewear device is received in the storage chamber, the storage chamber being shaped such that the eyewear device extends width-wise along a length dimension of the storage chamber and extends height-wise along a height dimension of the storage chamber, the height dimension extending transverse to the length dimension;
• a power source housed by the case body;
• and
• two or more charging surfaces electrically connected to the power source and located in the storage chamber for contact engagement with the pair of contact formations of the eyewear device when the eyewear device is received in the storage chamber, thereby to enable charging of the onboard battery of the eyewear device,
• wherein each of the pair of opposing main walls has mounted thereon at least one of the two or more charging surfaces, and wherein each charging surface extends along the respective main wall for a majority of the height dimension of the respective main wall.
