Why minrims

Form and function first. Then materials. Then looks.

There are a thousand readers on Amazon. Most are ugly, most are bulky, and none of them are ever where you left them. We fixed the last part first.

Compact

Folds flat into a case about the size of a MagSafe wallet. 1.4 oz total.

Magnetic

MagSafe-compatible case sticks to iPhone 12 and newer, or any MagSafe case.

Built to bend

TR90 frames flex instead of snapping. Blue-light filtering lenses.

Stays on

Convex half-stems grip without full temples. Look down at a menu. They stay.

Our story

Two old dogs. Decades of screens. Went blind-ish.

We are two friends and startup partners who spent twenty-plus years staring at monitors and video games. Then the menus got blurry. Readers were the answer, and every pair we found was ugly, bulky, or sitting on a desk three rooms away when we needed them.

So we built readers that stay with the one thing you never leave behind: your phone. Designed in Austin, Texas. Made in China.

New

The email that cost my dad $30,000. The true story behind why "always have your readers" stopped being a convenience and became a rule in our house.

FAQ

Quick answers

Which phones does the case work with?+

Any iPhone 12 or newer, or any phone in a MagSafe-compatible case. No MagSafe? The case also sticks to most metal surfaces, and it slips in a pocket fine.

Which strength should I pick?+

If you have never worn readers, start at +1.0 or +1.5. If you already own a pair, match that number. Not sure? Order two. Returns are free for 30 days.

Do they stay on without full stems?+

Yes. The V2 half-stems are convex, so they press gently at the temples. Look down at a menu or a phone and they stay put.

Where do I buy?+

Right here. Pick your strength, confirm it, and check out with your Amazon account without leaving the page. Ships from Amazon, Prime eligible, free 30-day returns.

Returns and warranty?+

Free 30-day refund or replacement through Amazon. Something break after that? Email us. We will make it right.
