Review: These glasses are awesome - Overview Best thing since sliced bread! Honestly, I can’t understand the negative reviews. Yes, if you use these as your primary reading glasses, you will be disappointed. Yes, if they break and you didn’t take the time to register for the lifetime warranty, you will be disappointed. Registration takes all of 30 seconds, which is actually longer than the time it takes to pull these out of my pocket, read some fine print and put them away. I have 20/15 far vision, but at age 51 find it difficult to read without good lighting and large print or longer arms. I have dozens of pairs of readers, but never seem to have them when I’m at a restaurant or grocery store. These things are so convenient that I no longer have to guess what my dinner bill is or what ingredients are in a package. I initially stuck the case to the back of my cell phone. It fit easily on the 4s without blocking the camera or light. After a few days, I realized that I typically don’t carry my phone all the time so I pulled the case off the phone case (it was stuck very tightly), removed all the residue boogers and have been carrying it in my wallet or front pocket when I don’t want to pull out my wallet. I get a few stares and questions from my server when I’m looking at a menu since according to my wife, I look ridiculous, while my daughter just rolls her eyes and says “typical Dad”. But at least now, I don’t have to ask my wife to read me the menu or take care of the bill. Edit: I read some reviews about difficulty putting into case and decided to make a video showing how easy it is to do. It is actually easier than the video shows since I was reaching over the top of my phone to record while balancing the phone under my chin. Overall Recommendation: Definitely worth the price, just make sure you register for the warranty ** I paid full price for this product. My reviews are honest and reflect my opinion on the product based on the advertised price regardless of the price I paid. **If after extended use, there are any significant changes or the product fails to perform as expected, I will update my review. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to ask any questions. If you found this review helpful, please click “Yes” below. Update 10/17/16 : I enjoy these so much that I ordered 2 more pairs. I now have 1 on my keychain, 1 attached to my phone, and 1 for my wallet just to make sure I always have a pair handy. Review: Not your familiar reader.....better!! - Note: I've only had these for about 3 hrs...but I am compelled to write a review. If you buy these expecting to have the same "experience" as your typical glasses...nope. When I first tried them on, I thought they might pinch too tight. Was about to set them aside and say...oh well, they will be my out on the town readers, but not full time. Luckily, I decided to keep them on a bit longer...cause after some time, they really do not pinch. Now they are smaller than many readers, so that is another thing to get used to, but the diminutive size and weight is amazing. They weigh nothing! In the case, they are slightly bigger than a credit card. You really can take these everywhere! The nose bridge has a sort of sandpaper grip which helps it stay put on your nose...and it (so far) works very well. What you do need to be careful of is knocking them off. If you wrinkle your nose a certain way, they may pop off. You may forget they are on, then rub your eyes and knock them off....that is just something to be aware of. It is a really interesting thing, but I do believe they will be my favorite readers..full time! The free replacement offer seems pretty cool too, though I have not read the fine print. Again, this is an early review, but I am quite impressed...enough to write a review on a Friday night! ## Features - ULTIMATE PORTABILITY & ACCESSIBILITY: Say goodbye to the frustration of misplaced reading glasses.

If not how easily do they scratch? My readers scratch quickly as I wear them in my front jeans pocket, will these?** A: I don't know what is scratch proof. I have used them for years now, and they seem to be easy to clean and mine have no scratches. Now, I only use them at restaurants and at church, where I don't have a pair of regular glasses sitting next to me. But, I am surprised people have been dissatisfied with the wear. **Q: What are the dimensions of the case? Surely it is not 6 x 3.8! It looks more like 4 x 2!** A: Thanks for your question. Our Universal Pod cases are designed to attach to any hard flat surface or to carry in your pocket or wallet. The dimensions on the Universal Pod case are 3.75 inches x 1.9375 inches. The thickness is 3/16's of an inch, approximately 3 credit cards. I hope this was helpful. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks! - Karen, ThinOPTICS Customer Support **Q: do you have in 3.0? I don't see it when I'm checking out.** A: ThinOptics are currently only available in 1.5 (also fits +1.25 to +1.75), 2.0 (also fits +1.75 to +2.25) and 2.5 (also fits +2.25 to +2.75) **Q: Would the universal case fit on the back of the Samsung Galaxy S4?** A: I have mine on a S4. I had to put them off center or they blocked either the rear speaker or the flash. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These glasses are awesome *by P***P on September 21, 2016* Overview Best thing since sliced bread!

So these were recommended by his friend. He loves them and shows them off to more friends. They are light and sticks to his phone case so he doesn’t have to carry them. He is enjoying them. ## Frequently Bought Together - ThinOptics Universal Pod Case + Rectangular Reading Glasses - ThinOptics Keychain Case and Readers Rectangular Reading Glasses - ThinOptics Rectangular Reading Glasses --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/17613185-pod-reading-glasses-slim-armless-pocket-readers-black-clear-2](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/17613185-pod-reading-glasses-slim-armless-pocket-readers-black-clear-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
