Quick answer

Attach the Shade Keeper clip to any bag strap, belt loop, or keyring, then slide your sunglasses arm into the holder. The clip’s secure grip keeps shades within reach without scratching lenses.

Why a clip holder beats a case

A hard case protects sunglasses but forces you to stow them away. The Shade Keeper Clip Collection keeps your shades out and ready while you move through your day — from commuting to brunch to the beach. The trade-off is that the clip is not a hard shell, so it works best for quick on-off use rather than long-term storage in a packed bag.

How to set up and use your Shade Keeper clip

  1. Choose your anchor point: Pick a strap, belt loop, bag handle, or keyring that is at least 1 cm wide (about the width of a finger). The clip opens wide enough for most common straps but may not fit extra-thick backpack webbing. Test the clip on the anchor before attaching your sunglasses to avoid slipping.
  2. Attach the clip: Press the clip’s back lever to open the jaws, slide it onto your chosen anchor, then release. Ensure the clip sits flat and the teeth grip the fabric or ring firmly. A common mistake is attaching it to a loose or thin strap that can twist — the clip needs a stable base. Give the clip a gentle tug after attaching; if it slides, choose a different anchor.
  3. Insert your sunglasses: Hold your sunglasses with the arms closed. Slide one arm into the clip’s silicone-lined holder until the frame rests against the clip. The holder is designed for standard sunglass arm thickness (about 4–8 mm). Oversized or very thick arms may not fit securely. Always insert the arm fully so the clip holds the frame, not just the tip of the arm.
