Universal Pod Readers

These are awesome, fit in my pocket. They are light, can't even tell you're wearing them.

It is slightly difficult for me to read small print in low light these days. These are perfect for me to easily carry around and use when needed. Pros 1. The case is about the thickness of 3 credit cards and very close to the length and width. 2. The case comes with a an adhesive backing that you can stick wherever it makes sense for you, like the back of your phone. 3. The case can easily fit in your wallet. I don't think I would keep it in my back pocket though. 4. The glasses are super light because they have plastic lenses. 5. The glasses pull apart and grip your nose to stay put. Which means they are easy to use with hats that would cover your ears. There is a tiny pinch, but I'm not going to wear these for hours anyway. 6. Good price. Cons 1. Plastic lenses are light, but they can scratch easy. I am super careful and haven't scratched these yet, but there is a good chance it will happen at some point.

I’ve been buying these for years for my husband — and for good reason! Great quality, lightweight, and a great price. He never forgets or loses his glasses since they stay glued to the back of his phone case. Easy to carry, and as far as style… well, let’s just say it gets the job done. Practical, durable, and keeps him from squinting at the menu or phone! 😂

The product is NOT durable. I broke my first one within three months. The second one in about four months. I never abused them. The spring and metal part that attaches the two lenses breaks. Be very careful/gentle when putting back in the case. It's a great idea and I am still tempted to buy another but they wear out too fast. I only used them when I forgot my other glasses. They are perfect for when you need to look at your phone or a menu at a restaurant for example. Also, as I just came back to Amazon to contemplate buying another one, I noticed they now advertise a "Lifetime Replacement Guarantee" which you can read more about here: [...]. That warranty is a joke. First, you must register with them within a limited time period. "Purchasers who purchase by calling ThinOPTICS, use a ThinOPTICS website, or purchased the glasses at a retail outlet and registered with ThinOPTICS within the specified period on the retail package, are covered by a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee that extends the 90 Day Warranty covering your glasses for as long as you own them." Second, it doesn't actually cover anything! "This Warranty does not apply: (a) to damage caused by use with another product; (b) to damage caused by accident, abuse or misuse, including, but not limited to, scratches and broken lenses; or (c) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Product." It seems like they are trying to pretend this product is durable by giving a lifetime warranty, but by the time you need the warranty, you find out it's worthless. What they really should do is sell a dozen for a discount, then I could care less if they broke (assuming a fair price). 4/21/16: UPDATE. I upgraded my review from 2 stars to 4 because they did in fact agree to send me a replacement. Maybe the warranty wording should be changed. I will repeat this: I didn't expect these to last forever, and I know things wear out. I wish they would sell multiples at a discount. I WANT to pay for something that's worth paying for. These are a great idea. They are somewhat fragile, and that's fine if I can get them at a decent price.

I bought 2 pair of these about 1 month ago. 1 for me and the other for my honey, who never seems to have his reading glasses with him! First I love mine, I have been wearing them daily since I received them. I now can also lay in bed on my side and watch tv without the ear piece pushing the lens off my eyes to I can't watch a movie on my iPad! I know sounds crazy but it is what I like to do! Second I can rub the corner of my eye while leaving these on, again sounds stupid but it is amazing to be able to do that without thinking about it! I have a normal width and bridge height to my nose and they stay on very well. I can easily turn my head, lightly shake my head, look down and up and they do not fall off. However I have learned that I can't drink hot coffee or eat a sandwich with them on apparently because I use too much muscle movement in the face area and then...yes they do fall off, but it makes me laugh when it happens because as another reviewer said there is very little warning when this happens. I have had them fall off in the garbage can and right into a pile of gravy ( which washed off easily) but that happened I think because I was in the kitchen cooking for a period of time and didn't reset the glasses onto my nose properly! They have a very small rough surface on the part of the nose area to help grip to your skin and while it is there I really haven't felt that it has affected my skin at all. Now onto my forgetful MAN... who never buys or wears his own glasses and is always taking and breaking mine! He LOVES his, he wears them, he knows where they are, because he likes them and thinks they are neat! He even puts the little case in his wallet and BRINGS his glasses to town with him! So for me this is WONDERFUL!!! Now being a man his nose is larger and broader than mine, but his seem to fit him well and they stay in place for him. However he doesn't wear his for long time periods that I do. We also love that they are frameless and so easy to look over the top and then right back to what you are reading without any effort or visual impairment. They are also so light you forget they are on your face and the bridge of my nose doesn't get sore anymore! I have noticed that mine are already starting to get fine scratches in the lenses, nothing too bad yet but keep in mind I take, carry and wear these glasses everywhere and other lens scratch also. We also own a business where we are in close contact with a lot of customers who always comment when I set these on my nose and I have so much fun telling others about them and letting them try them on.

These are well worth the price just for the convenience. I must have 10 pairs of reading glasses sitting around but often find myself without them, particularly in a restaurant. These stick to the back of my iPhone and are unnoticeable. I used different double sided stick tape than what was shipped with them and have had no issues at all with them coming loose. I bought a second pair for my hubby's android phone. UPDATE: I've had these a little more than six months, so I wanted to revisit my review on these. I still love them! I love that when I forget my regular reading glasses, I still have these, as my phone is always with me. I have only one issue. Over time, they have gotten scratched up by being taken out of and placed into the plastic case they are stored in. It has started to affect how I see through them. The pair I bought for my husband also has the same type of scratches. The is the only drawback of having these. I have continually recommended these to people but have warned them about the scratching. If they come out with a case that is lined with felt or some other soft material, I would probably purchase another pair. I'm attaching a photo of how the scratches look.

These do work as advertised but Thinoptics should really clarify it's warranty. When you register your glasses the company states that the lifetime warranty applies to retail store purchases or those made directly from their site. I do not consider Amazon a discount store, it is an on-line store where companies and people can sell items at varying prices, like any other place. As these come in the Thinoptics box and is only fulfilled by Amazon, that should qualify for the lifetime warranty. As it is, its left as a question in the buyers mind, something Thinoptics can fix at no cost, just make the policy very clear. If a purchase through Amazon doesn't qualify for the lifetime warranty then the description should be honest and upfront with customers. No excuse for this gray area in the warranty policy. As short duration readers they work well. They fit my nose well but would not stay put for my wife no matter where she placed them. Thats ok because the website says it should fit most, not all. The lens quality seems very good and they are very light. You do need to make sure they are put on straight and that can take two or more tries since you need to flex them to put them on. With regular glasses you just slip them on and they line up, with these you need to do that. You also need to make sure they are equal distance away from both eyes and its surprisingly easy to have one lens closer to one eye than the other. You'll get used to it but its not just a stick on and use affair. They are very thin for sure. I did notice glare if there is any light behind you. An anti-glare coating would probably help. Since the lenses are either flat to your face or slightly tilted outward at the sides, reflections from the side easily show on the inside. If you wear them for more than a short read, you will notice them on your nose as they rely on a slight pinch to stay put. If you sneeze, be prepared to catch them because they will probably come off, it happened to me. Same with smiling. Overall, I'm satisfied with them. While not a replacement for regular readers, they are thin, light and easy to take anywhere. For reading menus, instruction sheets and so on, they do a good job. As for the smartphone attachment, that sounds better than it works. While thin, it has to make the case slightly thicker so if you like a thin phone, adding something onto it probably isn't for you. Sticking the case to a tablet or laptop works but only if you carry that around with you or buy another pair (probably the intent). The price is reasonable as readers are getting more expensive all the time. A nice bonus would be a quantity discount, say 3 for $35 or something like that. I won't buy an extra pair at the current price. I am still trying to find the place I'd attach the case to where the glasses would reside while still being available. Realistically, the answer is multiple pairs but regular readers, while being larger do offer some advantages and being bulkier, contrary to what you'd think, are easier to remember and not leave in a pocket of your other short, pants or jacket. If I didn't have a pair I would buy another but I won't buy more to have around.

Disclaimer: I paid full price for these glasses from Amazon. I did not receive a discount and they are not part of any promotion. I have no connection with ThinOptics or any employees and no connection with Amazon. My reviews are always complete and honest. I received these glasses today. Normally I wait a few days or more before writing a review, but in this case, one day was enough. These glasses are exactly what I wanted. They are super thin and fit easily into their own super thin case (Pod). The adhesive on the back of the case is thinner than tissue paper and allows a tight mounting the the back of my Iphone 6. The glasses clip on my nose easily and stay where I put them, high on my nose or low. Vision is excellent. I'm sure they will last for a long time with just reasonable care. They are well made and strong, but anything, no matter how well made, can be broken by accident or with rough care. These glasses have a lifetime replacement guarantee, but as I said before, I am certain that with reasonable care they will last a long, long time. I highly recommend them for anyone who doesn't want to carry bulky reading glasses in their pocket, but have them easily available any time... like me. One more thing; when you receive your glasses be sure to register them on the ThinOptics website for the Lifetime Replacement Guarantee (instructions are included with the glasses). When you're there, be sure to look at their "Cleaning" video. It makes a point of saying that when you wash them, shake them dry. Do not dry them with tissue or a towel. I don't know why they can't be towel dried, but I'll handle mine as in the video.

Muy buenos y prácticos

Very handy. Stick to the back of my mobile phone efficiently and comfortably. Despite seeming quite fragile, they actually appear reasonably sturdy.

Sembrano davvero ben fatti. Molto comodi

Decent quality for the price. Glasses are small, light and comfortable to wear. Perfect for those quick reads like a menu when you’re out!
