Multiple Izipizi glasses breaking after a short time
Since then every single pair have broken. Maybe 10 plus pairs…but coming back as loved the style. Unfortunately I was being optimistic and thinking just a new screw is needed on the last one but no. Plastic bit broken on the glasses. DO NOT TRUST THIS PRODUCT!

Caddis, Izipizi and Eyebobs are three of my faves. I also use Peepers.

Izipizi frames criticized for cheap materials and breakage
Izipizi frames suck. I have had many pairs (don't ask me why I kept buying them but they were convenient at the Barnes and Noble store I frequent. You are lucky to get six months with them. The material is super cheap. Most likely the hinges will break (not metal nor spring) or the front of the frame will break. This is the last pair I will purchase. Stay away.
