Are these glasses scratch proof? If not how easily do they scratch? My readers scratch quickly as I wear them in my front jeans pocket, will these?

I don't know what is scratch proof. I have used them for years now, and they seem to be easy to clean and mine have no scratches. Now, I only use them at restaurants and at church, where I don't have a pair of regular glasses sitting next to me. But, I am surprised people have been dissatisfied with the wear.

What are the dimensions of the case? Surely it is not 6 x 3.8! It looks more like 4 x 2!

Thanks for your question. Our Universal Pod cases are designed to attach to any hard flat surface or to carry in your pocket or wallet. The dimensions on the Universal Pod case are 3.75 inches x 1.9375 inches. The thickness is 3/16's of an inch, approximately 3 credit cards. I hope this was helpful. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks! - Karen, ThinOPTICS Customer Support

do you have in 3.0? I don't see it when I'm checking out.

ThinOptics are currently only available in 1.5 (also fits +1.25 to +1.75), 2.0 (also fits +1.75 to +2.25) and 2.5 (also fits +2.25 to +2.75)

Would the universal case fit on the back of the Samsung Galaxy S4?

I have mine on a S4. I had to put them off center or they blocked either the rear speaker or the flash.
