ThinOptics Universal Pod Case + Rectangular Reading Glasses

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!

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).

These reading glasses are amazing. The case fits on the back of your cell phone nicely and is about 1/8 of an inch thick, including the glasses. I think the glasses are about 1/16th of an inch thick if that, and super lightweight. They also grip your nose very well and will NOT fall off. I showed my mom and did a short video of me shaking my head vigorously in every direction and they stayed firmly in place, she was impressed too. They are very comfortable, and I tested them reading a pretty small font bible for about 3 hours and they did perfectly. HIGHLY recommended if you are tired of having to use your phone's camera every time you go into a restaurant in order to read the menu. These are very, very well done. They are so thin you can use them as a bookmark, they're worth buying.UPDATE: Still awesome, everyone asks where I got them when I use them. Absolutely fantastic product. Of Note, I've had mine a couple months now and did not experience any of the "easily scratchable" issues I've read of in some of the other reviews. Get the case so you can keep them on your cell phone, trust me.

I agree with other reviewers who have pointed out that the hard plastic case scratches the lenses. Ideally it should have a very thin soft inner lining of some sort. It's either just a not-thought-out design or the company wants you to replace the glasses more often than you normally would, which is not kosher. Anyway I tossed an earlier pair (they are a backup in case I forget my glasses, not for daily use) because the nose bridge piece had broken and the lenses were so scratched they were worthless. Still, the concept behind the glasses is worth 4 stars.This time as can be seen in the photos I've cut a sleeve out of standard kitchen parchment paper which is about the thinnest paper out there (the notch is because there's a stabilizing ridge inside the plastic sleeve) and it works well, it takes a few more seconds to insert it and remove it and I can live with that if the lenses don't scratch.

Really a game changer. I use to have to carry reading glasses around in my pocket. If I left home without them, I couldn't read anything. With these you can stick the holder to the back of your phone. I never leave home without my phone so I always have my reading glasses with me. Simple to get out of the holder and work perfectly.
