Review: Super compact, super handy! - I have this stuck to my wallet (a front pocket wallet) instead of my phone. They are thin and crush proof in the case. This allows me to have reading glasses with me all the time without the bother of carrying a full pair of glasses. The piece stays on pretty well, they are a little wobbly, but they still work fine. If you are not using them all day, and just need to look at a menu or something else, they are absolutely perfect! Super compact, super handy! Review: Easy to carry around readers - I like these. Now I can carry readers in my purse all the time and it takes up no room and doesn't add excessive weight to my purse. I saw these when another lawyer was using them. I was concerned the lenses would get scratched from putting them in and taking them out of the case, but the frame is slightly thicker than the lenses, so only the frame is rubbing on the case, not the lenses. They stay on pretty well, but when I smile, my cheeks rise and that pushes them off my nose. For me, that's a small issue. The nose piece has some kind of rough, grippy surface, and after a long time of wearing them, my nose gets a little sore. But I usually don't wear them that long. ## Features - Comfort: Designed in Silicon Valley, ThinOptics Readers are feather-light and engineered to grip with gentle pressure. They can be moved up or down your nose for optimal fit and comfort - Strength: Every ThinOptics Reader is made of shatterproof, thermo-injection molded, optical-grade polycarbonate. The bridge is made from a shape-memory metal called Nitinol, which is 10x more elastic than spring steel and encased in medical-grade silicone tubing - Quality: We use the same lens material regularly found in high-end prescription glasses. The lenses are made by one of the most advanced optical lens manufacturers in the world and the durable case is made to protect your glasses from damage - Convenience: ThinOptics Universal Pod includes both the ThinOptics Readers & the Universal Pod case which feature a non-residue adhesive to stick onto your phone/case or any other hard & flat surface to be Always WIth You ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MYDWUTC | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #294,096 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #3,840 in Reading Glasses | | Brand | ThinOptics | | Bridge Width | 15 millimeters | | Color | Black Case / Clear Frames | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 439 Reviews | | Frame Material | Polycarbonate | | Frame Material Type | Polycarbonate | | Frame Type | Full Rim | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00814493022896 | | Import Designation | Made in the USA and Imported | | Item Dimensions | 3.75 x 1.94 x 0.19 inches | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | Reading Glasses | | Item Weight | 0.06 g | | Lens Coating Description | Anti-Reflective Coating, UV Protection Coating | | Lens Correction Type | spherical | | Lens Material Type | Polycarbonate | | Lens Type | Standard | | Lens Width | 44.45 millimeters | | Manufacturer | ThinOPTICs | | Manufacturer Part Number | UP-1.0-Clear | | Number of Items | 1 | | Optical Power | 1 | | Origin | Made in the USA and Imported | | Style Name | Universal Pod Case + | | Style Number | UPBXLC | | UPC | 814493022896 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![ThinOptics unisex-adult Reading Glasses + Black Universal Pod Case | Clear Frames, 1.00 Strength Readers Clear Frames / Black Case, 44 mm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yCr0EdNZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super compact, super handy! *by D***Y on June 6, 2017* I have this stuck to my wallet (a front pocket wallet) instead of my phone.

I noticed the double sided tape was not strong when I first put it on, but I didn't realize it would completely fail to work within 24 hours.
