Both the glasses AND the company impressed the Hades out of me!! The glasses are AWESOME, in my case, I have a weird nose shape, and with ALL glasses I've worn, I need to change the nose bridges to their max in to my face! Because of the compact design of these glasses, the nose bridges weren't designed to move very far, or you MAY NOT be able to close the glasses into their compact shape. As I tried to adjust one of the nose bridges, it broke. The day after receiving them, the company reached out to me to see if I was happy with my purchase... I wrote back and told them about the breakage, and without question, another set of glasses were on the way, in an overnight delivery I might add, and I had a new set the next day!! I was much more careful this time...and in no time at all, all 3 pairs were adjusted perfectly!! Yes, they sent me another PAIR of glasses, as in 2 more sets of glasses, making, my total 3, so I gave the extra set to my sister, and she LOVES them too!! If I could have given this company 10 stars, I would!! I have since, bought 2 more different styles of glasses and plan on buying more! They are very good company, that makes / sells (not sure which or both?) a VERY good product!! Buy yourself a set and see for your self!! BTW, I was NOT given anything as an incentive to write a good review, what I was given was a replacement pair that I broke by not being careful while bending relatively thin metal, in a rush to try them on!!

Everybody has slightly different needs and uses for an item, and things will fit different people differently. I thought these were a nice product, and well made. But I work in construction, and have to put my glasses on, and take them off and keep them in a pocket. Frequently. Back and forth in seconds. These were a little too inconvenient for that sort of thing. They also were not quite as comfortable to me as some others I have used. I like the straight telescopic ear pieces, as I can comfortably slide them down my nose as needed without the back of my ears getting sore, but the nose supports felt a little odd. If you just need something to wear occasionally while you sit down and read, these might work great for you. The case solves the issue of abrading a cloudy spot right into the main focus area of the lense, which is one thing I do repeatedly, unless I just out and out crush my glasses by kneeling or carrying something heavy while they are in one of my side pockets. In general, I destroy reading glasses so fast that I need tough cheapies. But these are nice. I'm keeping mine, and will take them with me if I go on vacation. They will pack nicely.

These fold down quite well and do the job. They're portable and efficient.

The carrying case is indeed bulky. You could carry the small folding pair of readers without the case, but, I suspect they'd be crushed/scratched.

The four stars is for just that, i.e., the bulk of the case, but otherwise, these do the job quite well and I am satisfied.

p.s. Someone wrote they're not comfortable to wear. I would agree with that, but this is why I have several pair of standard reading glasses I keep at home or my desk at work. I use *these* when I go somewhere so I can read a menu or dink around on my cell phone when having lunch. These are not meant for extended wearing.

I was looking for some new reading glasses after losing my "SOOLALA Women Men Go Everywhere SOS Pince Nez Style Nose Resting Pinching Portable Wallet Reading Glasses". After reading the other reviews, I decided to give these folding ones a try. They're not as fashionable as the Soolala. They're super basic but that's where the comparison ends. These reading glasses are much better. They fold up very tightly and small enough to fit in my wallet which was my prime reason to try the Soolala's. These folding glasses take up a tiny bit more room but still fits small and flat enough so I won't leave home without them. Another plus is these come in .25 magnifier levels. The other only comes in .5 increments. When fully unfolded, they set on my ears and nose comfortably and don't feel like they'll slip. I could read with these with ease for a long time. The other was a nose pincher which would slip. Fine if you're picking from a menu but not much more useful than that. You also get two glasses for $3 more than just one of the nose pinchers. If you don't care about fashion, these will do the job very well.

Love these. Crystal clear lenses. When folded, the stems rest on the frame, not the lenses, so the lenses don't get scratched.

A great hinged hard case that that protects the glasses from external abuse and the dust and dirt from storage in a purse/briefcase/backpack/glove compartment/pocket. The glasses are easy to insert and remove from the case without touching the lenses - just make sure the folded glasses are inserted in the case with the ear stems closest to the case hinge. The case is marked with the lens strength (so you don't have to).

Although these won't replace the standard readers I have scattered around the house, these nifty folding glasses are now the only ones I take out of the house. I will definitely be buying more for backup.
