*by K***R on September 30, 2025*

Love the Retainers. Works perfect for my glasses and the colors are great!! A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works great, but they need a true brown for brown sunglasses
*by S***B on May 29, 2025*

This eyeglass holder works for me. It’s very sturdy. I have a black one, and I have never had this strap drop my glasses. I ordered the brown, and it’s really more of a natural red or alburn color match. I wish they had regular brown that matches brown frames. That’s a popular color for sunglasses.
