This is my second pair of ThinOptics glasses. These are very light and compact and the lens quality is excellent. I'm very happy with them and my wife has asked me to buy her a pair.
A couple of things to note:
1) ThinOptics markets these as being able to be attached to the back of your smartphone. In reality, this isn't practical because the case is so big that it either exceeds the size of the smartphone or covers up the camera. These are really pocket or purse glasses.
2) The case is attractive and protects the glasses well. However, the case is a bit tricky to open because of the strong magnetic snap that keeps the case closed. I find myself fumbling around with it to get it open. As a result, they are not "fast" glasses that you can pop on your nose quickly.
3) While not uncomfortable, I would not use these these glasses for long periods as they are not the most comfortable reading glasses I have. They are great for shorter use periods.
I've been a ThinOptics fan since I attached the clip-on style to the back of my cell phone. That meant I always had readers available for looking at a restaurant's menu or reading small type on my phone. The only negatives were that the glasses were not comfortable for long use and it made the wireless charging on my phone a little wonky. It didn't work at all on some chargers and you had to position it just right on others.
That's why I was glad to see the new full sized readers in a magnetic case come out. These lightweight readers are VERY light and comfortable. The case is thin and holds the glasses in perfect position. While it's not easy to open the case (the previous ones just slid out and was held by friction), it is not a deal-breaker. The big issue is the magnet that holds it to the phone. Apparently, wireless charging takes place through a glass back on the phone. Accordingly, the case does not adhere via magnet very well. In fact, it barely holds on to the case.
Lastly, the case is very large and covers the camera of my Note 8. I wasn't too concerned about that because I could slide the case off my phone before taking a picture. Of course, if you have to adhere the case with double-sided tape, the camera would be permanently blocked.
Other than that, the glasses are great. If you have a phone with a metal back or want to adhere it to something else, it will be great. I'm going to carry it in my pocket next to my wallet. While it's not as convenient as having it permanently attached to my phone, it is more comfortable to use.
Glasses? Very good. I wish they were wider - a bit narrow for me.
Case? Very good. Very thin, elegant, fits well in my breast pocket. Love the magnetic clasp.
I always have a pair of these in my shirt pocket. They are very light and comfortable to wear, and the clarity of the lenses is great. I would recommend them to anyone who wants comfortable and convenient reading glasses.
They are so light you don't know you are wearing them. The case is perfect for in your purse as it is so very thin. All around great glasses!

This is my second pair, got a pair for a friend. Case and glasses are well made and great quality!
Fantastic for carrying in a pants pocket. Good quality.
Very lightweight and attractive glasses the thin case is perfect
Excelente producto, recomendado 100%
I got these readers to carry with me to places where normal readers would be difficult to take. They are an ingenious design and they fit my needs perfectly. The case is a little difficult to open at times because of its small size, but that is minor compared to the benefits.
