WaterField’s Summer-Ready Dynamic Duo Glasses Case Holds and Protects Two Pairs and Stays Compact

WaterField Designs, an innovative San Francisco designer and manufacturer of custom laptop sleeves, bags, and device-specific cases, introduces the beautifully handcrafted Dynamic Duo Glasses Case—a thick leather, Ultrasuede®-lined, eyeglass case that safely h olds two pairs and remains compact. The gorgeous thick, full-grain leather maintains its shape, keeping shades or specs protected from bumps and scratches. A clever inverted design opens for one pair on one side and another on the flip side. A flexible, Ultrasuede® middle barrier adjusts to different-sized frames and makes efficient use of interior space.

"Most of us carry at least two types of glasses: sunglasses and either reading, distance or computer glasses—and nobody wants to dig around in their bag for two separate cases," said WaterField Designs owner Gary Waterfield. "We designed the Dynamic Duo Glasses Case to fit two pairs and remain compact—just take a pair out of one side, flip the case, and there's your second pair. Convenient magnets make it easy to open while walking or driving."

Dynamic Duo Glasses Case Features:

An ideal companion for anyone on the go, the elegant Dynamic Duo Glasses Case keeps various types of glasses always within reach. When commuters want to read their smartphones, they can quickly switch from sunglasses to reading glasses. Professionals who drive to work can conveniently stash the case in a suit pocket or work bag and switch to computer or reading glasses upon arrival. For a day at the beach, parents can swap their sunbathing glasses for distance glasses to keep an eye on their kids. The robust, premium leather and various color options pair well with WaterField bags like the Vitesse Messenger, Cargo Bag, Bolt Briefcase, Staad Attaché, and Pro Executive Backpack.

ePluribus Launches Free App That Allows Americans to Rise Above Bots and Lobbyists by Communicating with Representatives as Verified Constituents

As Americans flock to beaches and campgrounds this 4th of July, our democracy is under attack from bots and foreign entities. Today, ePluribus announces the launch of a free app that allows Americans to contact their representatives at all levels of government, from Trump down to the local Superintendent of Public Instruction. ePluribus users can verify their identity as a constituent and send messages directly to the inbox of representatives. Each message is marked as "verified" or "unverified" to help real people with real concerns cut through the noise of bots, spammers, and lobbyists vying for legislators' attention.

Be alert to read related news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/1-800-petmeds-announces-return-of.html

ePluribus was founded by Wisconsin brothers Aidan and Liam McCarty while attending Stanford. Their mission: to build a more secure, engaged and unified democracy. ePluribus gives Americans their voices back, stopping bots, lobbyists, spammers, and foreign agents from meddling in our politics.

Identity fraud is wreaking havoc on our democracy. Fake accounts on social media are fueling misinformation campaigns both foreign and domestic, making it easier than ever to meddle in our politics. Fake messages are flooding representatives and federal agencies, drowning out the opinions of real Americans. For example, the FCC received 21.7 million public comments about net neutrality in 2017, but Pew Research found that 94% of them were fake or duplicate. The Justice Department launched a criminal investigation into this last December.

ePluribus is powered by Unum ID, a state-of-the-art blockchain technology that provides identity verification to civic technology applications. Americans can download the ePluribus app free from Google or Apple app store and then use Unum ID to complete the verification process.

"Every American has the right to quick and easy access to their representatives – on all levels," stated Aidan McCarty, Co-Founder. "And we want to encourage Americans to do more than just tweet. Send a message that cannot be ignored by verifying yourself as a constituent. Your representative's job is to listen to you, not bots or lobbyists." Click here to read the latest news.

ePluribus is also available as a free embeddable widget for any news or community site interested in allowing their members easy access to reach representatives straight from their websites.

"ePluribus is powered by Unum ID, which collects zero personal information and has no database. Each user's data is stored on their device, giving them complete privacy and security. Americans can easily sign up for ePluribus and verify the information with Unum ID," stated Liam McCarty, Co-founder, ePluribus. "The goal of ePluribus is help Americans who feel voiceless to take back their voice."
