This glasses case prints in place and uses trapped hinges. It also has spaces for 3x1mm neodymium magnets for a closure system.
I recommend turning on support to make sure there is no sagging on the bottom of the hinges, but check your sliced model to make sure it's not putting support inside the hinges, you only want support from the printbed to the bottom of the hinges (and depending on your printer's overhang performance you may not need that).
The magnets should fit nicely into the slots but will probably need a drop of glue to hold them in place securely.
I also recommend covering the interior of the case in something soft and non-scratching to best protect any glasses you put inside. I used Plasti Dip (the dip can version, not the spray version) and liberally coated the inside using a gloved finger. On PLA at least this adheres nicely and provides a soft rubberized surface to keep your glasses safe.
The case should be large enough to accommodate most glasses.
If you have multicolor printing capability you can (at least in Bambu slicer and its derivatives) add a 2mm thick lettering object embedded into the surface of the case to add a personalized name to it. I was surprised at how well this worked and I think you'll be happy with the results if it's something you can do.
