Doubletake Slim Pocket Reading Glasses
Keep your specs protected
Some glasses wearers tend to just throw their reading glasses everywhere and buy a new pair when they inevitably break. But if you actually want to care for your glasses, a nice case is the best option. The Doubletake reading glasses come in two pairs and each has an accompanying sleek case. The case will protect your glasses when they’re not being worn and the clip means you can attach them to your pocket, the inside of your purse or anywhere that’s accessible. The frames are so lightweight, it will feel like you’re wearing nothing at all.
Pros:
- Extremely affordable for two stylish pairs of reading glasses
- Includes several extra nose pads
Cons:
- The super thin, rectangular style won’t look great on all face shapes
Doubletake Reading Glasses with Belt Loop Case
Small, but durable
Yes, another pair of reading glasses from Doubletake and this ones we rank near the top.

Pros:
- Affordable
- Great for someone who travels a lot
Cons:
- The arm hinges will get loose quickly
- The belt loop is hard to attach
