ThinOptics Universal Pod Case + Rectangular Reading Glasses
H**Y
Perfect Solution for Reading in Bed!
I purchased the ThinOptics Universal Pod Case + Rectangular Reading Glasses specifically for reading in bed while lying on my side, and they have exceeded my expectations. Traditional glasses with arms always shift, press uncomfortably against my face, or even risk breaking when I rest my head on the pillow. These armless reading glasses solve all those problems beautifully.The design is simple yet genius. The flexible nose bridge keeps them comfortably in place, and without arms to get in the way, they stay put regardless of how I position myself. They are also incredibly lightweight, making them almost unnoticeable while wearing. The included Pod Case is slim and portable, so I can easily keep them on my nightstand or slip them into a pocket when traveling.If you’re someone who struggles with regular glasses shifting around while lying down, these are a game-changer. Highly recommend!

Love my ThinOptics
I love my thin optics - the only glasses I use are readers and sometimes I don’t always have a pair with me. I discovered thin optics and stuck the convenient case to the back of my phone case - now I always have my readers. They are compact and are well made, a great value!

Almost perfect
I have mixed feelings about these glasses.Optically they are on par with my EyeBuyExpress glasses. And they weight nothing. And the carrying case and method of tucking them away works exactly as advertised. And they are so thin that it is very easy to clean them.My only problem is that I can't find a way to hold these properly if I am reading off my computer, that is, if I am looking straight. If I am reading downwards these work beautifully. If I am lying down reading a Kindle or watching movies on a tablet, these work magnificently.They are also great in the dark because it's very easy to orient the case by touch and tuck them away without touching the glasses. With regular glasses I always end up smudging them while trying to put them away in the dark.I can't blame the glasses because for all I know it could be the shape of my nose, but it just nags me that I can't use them in all three scenarios.As for the warranty, there was an insert warning me to go to their website to register them, that only took a few seconds.If these things fit your nose for your use scenarios, you will probably be happy with them. I obviously don't need to buy more since the warranty is for life, but if I were to buy these for somebody else I would rather go with a pair of EyeBuyExpress glasses.Update: out of curiosity I tried to wear these over a band aid. This solved the issue reading off my computer, and I don't have to re-position them at all while lying down. I am guessing my particular problem was either the shape of my nose, or the oiliness of my skin, or maybe a combination of of both.Update: I have been averaging 2-4 hours a day wearing these without any issues but I still prefer to wear them with the band aid. I am upgrading my review to 5 stars because I am actually very happy with them.Update (9/17/2016): One of the nose pads broke :-( I don't even know how it happened. What I do know is that it took less than five minutes to order a free replacement, and I am now wearing them just 3-4 days since I made the warranty claim. So yes, they do send you a fresh pair if they break. And yes, I am still putting 2-4 hours a day of use with these, they are great (as long as they fit your nose).

I have one on every keychain.
I keep these on my keychain so I am never without my readers. They work very well and are super convenient. The only down side is that they are not durable. Expect to replace them about 1x a year. They fold in the middle and after about a year of use, they will snap in half near the nose piece.

Great product !! Always have glasses with ya
Love these!!! If you’re getting up there in years like me and need a little help seeing to read then look no further. Have had multiple sets of these at this point and each has been used a ton. The slimline case fits great on phone cases. Only problem is when ya change phone cases ya need new ones cause the tape is single use on the outside of the case and I’ve never found as thin a double sided tape as these come with. Great product, I get compliments on them all the time. Always handy to have them with ya.

Great glasses, crappy tape
Been us g these little readers for a few years now and absolutely love them. Super handy. Only downside is they scratch very easily so they have a limited lifespan. Reason for docking stars is the new tape supplied is a total failure. The two other cases I’ve had stuck to my phone for over a year, and this last batch fell off after a few weeks.
