Description
This glasses holder is a 43 x 23 x 11mm magnetic clip weighing 7.5g that attaches to a shirt or pocket and holds sunglasses, safety glasses, reading glasses, earbud wires or a badge, in silver or black for $9.99.
Hanging glasses in a shirt collar works until it does not. They slip out when you bend down, they stretch the neckline of anything knitted, and on a worksite or a boat they end up on the ground. A magnetic clip holds through the fabric instead of pinching it, so nothing gets stretched and nothing falls out when you lean forward. It also weighs almost nothing, which is why people forget they are wearing it.

Why Magnetic Beats a Collar
-
Nothing stretches - the magnet grips through the fabric rather than hanging weight off a neckline.
-
They stay put when you bend - the failure case for collar-hung glasses, and the reason people lose them.
-
7.5g - light enough that you forget it is there, which is the difference between using it and leaving it at home.
-
More than glasses - earbud wires, a badge or a lanyard clip onto the same holder.
-
Two finishes - silver or black, so it reads as a discreet accessory rather than equipment.
How Does the Magnetic Glasses Holder Attach?
The holder comes apart into two magnetic halves. One sits behind the fabric and one in front, so the clip is held by magnetic force through the material rather than by a spring pinching it. Your glasses arm then slots into the front piece. Because there is no clamp, thin and delicate fabrics are not marked.
Will It Damage a Shirt?
Magnetic holders are generally kinder to fabric than a spring clip because nothing is pinched or pierced. Very fine knits and loose weaves are the ones to be careful with, since the two halves can shift and drag the fibres. Test on a heavier garment first if you are worried about a favourite shirt.
What Else Can It Hold?
Safety glasses on a worksite, reading glasses in an office, earbud wires so they are not swinging loose, and staff badges or ID. That range is why these sell as much to tradies and nurses as they do to people who just want somewhere to put their sunnies.
Who Buys These
Tradies and site workers who move between safety glasses and daylight constantly. Nurses and hospital staff, for glasses and ID together. Anglers and boaties, where a dropped pair of sunglasses is gone. Anyone over about forty who takes reading glasses on and off twenty times a day and is tired of hunting for them. It is also a common small gift, because it is cheap and quietly useful.
Pair It With

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is it?

Yes, badges and earbud wires are both listed uses.

Keep magnetic products away from pacemakers and other implanted medical devices, and away from credit cards.
