EVERYONE who sees me in these thinks they are so cool looking. The glasses part is a bit small but I got used to them, and don't notice that anymore. They are easy to whip out and are not flimsy. The hinges are snug. They fit easily into a purse. I'll purchase these again. Oh yeah - my girlfriend spent hundreds on a pair of these readers in Chicago. I went on Amazon and got these knock offs (aka plastic) because of the cheaper price. I liked her look a lot! She saw me in them and said, "Oh you got some like mine!"
