A protective case (201) for a vehicle mirror, the protective case (201) having a forward-direction facing side (F) and a reverse-direction facing side (R), and defining a chamber (301) for receiving a mirror therein, the chamber open to the reverse-direction facing side (R) for allowing a surface of a mirror received within the chamber to be viewed from the reverse-direction facing side (R). The protective case (201) comprises at least one resilient forward-direction protrusion (202) extending forwardly of the chamber for providing an impact point ahead of a mirror received within the chamber, and at least one resilient reverse-direction protrusion (203) extending rearward of the chamber for providing an impact point ahead of a mirror received within the chamber. The reverse-direction protrusion may be a rib which extends to form a continuous border around a rim (206) of a main body (204). The forward-direction protrusions may be a plurality of transverse ribs spaced apart in a vertical direction. The lowermost transverse rib may be softer than the other transverse ribs. Also disclosed is a vehicle provided with the abovementioned protective case, in particular a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) or public service vehicle.
