Excellent compact readers, at 1/4 the price of Fo**er Gr***ts.
These folding readers are identical in form and function to the overpriced branded versions, found in local retail outlets.The materials used and quality of construction is identical to the other brands. The glass is clear, and the magnification power is accurate.These DoubleTake readers are light weight, and durable enough for everyday use. The included protective cases are also identical in quality to the name brands. The lids secure with rare-earth magnets, and stay closed until you flick them open.Like you, I base my purchase decisions on the experiences of others.

Just what I needed
These are great traveling glasses that you can keep handy just in case the need to read small print arises. Case reminds me of a Zippo lighter in it's size and am still trying to practice the Zippo flip to open it. I can easily carry a pair in my pocket and keep one handy on my motorcycle as well as the car in case I need to read a small menu or business card. These would not be suitable for reading a book or something long as they do not wrap around your ears. The sides telescope out and rest on top of your ears so wearing them when a lot of movement is required wouldn't work well. I bought another very small type at the same time "Handy Mini Flip Top Eyeglasses Case & Lightweight Folding Reading Glasses" While they are slightly smaller - about the size of a disposable lighter they do not work nearly as well. They have pieces that go around your ears but your head would need to be very small for them to fit. In addition they are shipped from China and take a while to arrive. I would stick with this type as they are far superior. They work for me.

The very best folding glasses and case, forget about the others
I purchased these and three pair of Southern Seas Mens Womens Folding Reading & Travel glasses at the same time.These are far better. The case itself is significantly smaller and feels great in the hand and is much sturdier than the other case.The glasses, with their telescoping arms, are much classier and better designed than the South Seas ones.In fact, I'd call these "folding glasses -- the Next Generation"By far the best designed and executed folding glasses I've ever seen.

Handy and Won't Fall Out of Your Shirt Pocket
These are compact and quick to unfold, and easily fit in my pants pocket. They are great reading glasses. Regular reading glasses always fall out of my shirt pocket, which is why I especially like these foldable ones.The telescoping earpieces are cool. I had looked at a brand of lenses that just sit on your nose with no earpieces, but was afraid they might fall off. But these foldable ones will stay in place.The only complaint I had about a competing pair of these folding glasses was that one of the little plastic pieces on the end of the earpieces came off, making it tricky to make them small again to fit in the case. The way to avoid that is not to pull on them very hard when telescoping.These DoubleTake glasses are made identically to some I'd bought at a drugstore chain for $25. But these ones are 70% cheaper, an excellent deal. I am very happy with these folding glasses.

As good, if not better than Foster Grant
I’m very pleased with this purchase. The reading glasses is just as good, if not better than Foster Grant’s similar product and it is way cheaper! The Double take doesn’t have the brand stamped on it and it’s just slightly bigger in the case. The hinge in the middle also seems to be better on the double take. Maybe because it’s new and I’ve had my foster grants for a while. For the price, I highly recommend this product over foster grant. The quality is just as good.

Excellent Situational Readers
I needed something I could put in my pocket that wouldn't be obtrusive like my regular glasses + case and these are exactly what I was looking for. They fold up quite small and like earlier reviews, think a little bit larger than a Zippo lighter. They weren't easy to fold out the first time I used them nor did they fit in the case well once I removed them. However after using them for a week they open easy without being loose, and fit in the case perfectly with minimal effort. The earpieces are telescopic and sometimes push back in when I put them on until I realized the frames are hinged - which took care of that problem. The case closes with a magnet and I have yet to have them open in my pocket (I'm pretty active). Perfect for when you need to read a menu or you need help reading something really quick - I don't think they would work for me as replacements for my daily readers but they work very well in a pinch. I'm noticing they aren't quite a strong as my readers of the same power, but that could be anything from the shape to where my eyes center through the lenses. They seem relatively scratch resistant - but again I don't use them all the time nor do I plan on dropping them any time soon. Summary? 12 bucks - 2 glasses, very small, sturdy, easy decision.

Good value for the price
I have bought the name brand version of these for years and have been happy with them, this time I decided to get 2 pairs for half the price of the Foster Grant versions.This work fine, the ear extensions are pretty loose so when you put them on the tend to slide closed. I slightly squeezed them with pliers and that helped, For the price they work good

My go to readers! 😎
Great pair of reading/computer glasses. I paid a lot more for just one pair of these at the drugstore, different brand though. These are just as good if not better and you get 2 pairs, an excellent value for quality specs. I would like to see them in higher potency like 3.00 or 3.50. Still a great deal and half the price of the drugstore brand for 2 pairs. Excellent quality. I'm sure I'll be buying more for friends and family in the near future.

I'm glad to deal with the very nice seller. One of the glasses was loosen, not as good as the other and I was offered to keep that and refund the half with the nicest manner and words..I really appreciate the way the seller did.BTW, those glasses are extremely compact with high quality.

Good frame but poor lens
Good concept - but quality of lens material is not up to the mark - the lens are too plastic-ky anddo not enable clear vision. Based on display here -- one would assume at least average qualityoptical plastic/glass would be used but this is not so.
