HOW IT STARTED

Everybody who wears glasses knows the problem. You take them off, hang them on your collar, lean over, and they hit the floor. Rick Hopper got tired of it and decided to fix it.

In 2010, Rick invented a simple, patented magnetic clasp that attaches to any fabric and holds eyeglasses, sunglasses, or badge holders secure and always within reach. No clips that stretch your shirt. No cords around your neck. Just the use of powerful magnets and a clean design.
