This case was obviously made expressly for the Monarch Gold 1200 rangefinder. It fits like a driving glove, nice and tight. Seems to have an adequate amount of padding/protection but you still wouldn't want to drop your rangefinder on a concrete floor or anything like that. Access to the rangefinder controls is just right and you can still use the tripod mount with the case on. There is no protection for the ocular lens but as another reviewer pointed out, a plastic soda bottle top fits over the rubber eye cup snug enough that it won't fall off and that's good enough for me.
Pros: Good fit for your Monarch 1200 rangefinder.
Cons: No protection for the ocular lens.
