This high end reader has integrated spring hinges, durable acetate frame and optical quality, scratch resistant lenses. The frame is a distinquished shiny black color and has built in nose pads so there's nothing to snag in your hair when you wear these 'up top'. The protective hard case is truly magic as it rolls onto itself to close, both wayshard to describe, but you will be playing with this for hours and your friends will want to too.....it's very cool. You'll want these just for the case, but the readers are stylish, high quality and look great too.
