These glasses are the ultimate combo of chic & function, and look ten times the price. Besides the perfect "Jackie O" silhouette, I was impressed by the nice dark tint of the lens, yet the bi-focal part of it is a shade or 2 lighter to enable easier reading. Quite brilliant. I understand what they were trying to accomplish with the case, but I found it unnecessarily bulky while storing. So, it doesn't work for me, but small inconvenience for these terrifc glasses. I'm coming back for more!
