ThinOptics Keychain Case and Readers Rectangular Reading Glasses

Not comfortable

Now I have reading glasses with me always! Of course, I'll still keep a good traditional pair around for serious reading, but I won't have to carry those around. The optical quality is good, and surprisingly, they haven't gotten scratched up yet (a couple of weeks use). I do feel like the price is a bit steep, and the adhesive doesn't feel as secure as it could - though it hasn't fallen off of my phone case yet either. Overall, I would purchase these again.

Really good. Light weight and easy to carry

Useful,

Small carrying factor. I keep on my key fob so I also have them handy should I forget my readers at home or when I forget them in my car. Readers are always handy.

UPDATE: After this pair broke, I ended up buying the ThinOptics that come with the Universal Pod. Those glasses are different: the part that holds on to your nose is no longer the metal strips, it is plastic that is now attached at the top and bottom of the strip. They also did not look like the original glasses that came with the Keychain Case: the lens frames are a uniform thickness, where it looks like the Keychain glasses had a slight taper which would help them overlap when they fold up. I was hoping the Universal Pod ones would fit into the Keychain Case, but because of the difference I did not want to try it and end up ruining the new glasses. It is now 1 year after I bought the Universal Pod ThinOptics and they are still intact. I still miss being able to wear them around my neck, so I contacted ThinOptics through their website to see if I could just buy the glasses without the Keychain Case. They said if I send a picture of the broken ones then they would send a replacement at no cost. Luckily, I did still have them lying around for some reason, and after receiving the picture ThinOptics immediately sent out new, replacement glasses for free, not even a charge for shipping. I am now changing my previous 2 star rating to 5 stars. Will update if there are problems with the new glasses. UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: I received the new replacements - they are the newer style and are exactly the same as the ones I have that came in the Universal Case with the plastic, attached at both ends nose-pieces. They also fit in the keychain case. I have them around my neck again and am a very happy customer :) ---- OLD REVIEW: I removed the keyring part, put a smaller ring on the case, and made a necklace with these. I also sanded off the logo. Because of that, they were incredibly convenient as a cool-looking necklace that I can wear when I leave the house. Other than that, the reviews are all true: - It takes some fiddling to get them to stay on your nose, but it is manageable. The best way is to bend them outwards and let them grab your nose - there were 2 places on my nose where they would stay on. They fall off if you wiggle your nose or sneeze. - The metal nose pieces broke off. The first one about a month after I bought them, the 2nd many months later. They are less comfortable and leave marks on your nose without them, but they are still usable. - They broke completely yesterday, the springy bridge part snapped into a few pieces. I did use them a lot while they lasted and now I'm deciding whether I want to replace them or just try something else. If they were cheaper I would just replace the glasses and still use with my case, but for $20 I might try something more comfortable and durable.
