I bought "memory titanium" from Zenni and also had the bridge snap in half after warranty, but on a pampered pair of computer glasses. I would expect a "high end" Zenni frame to last longer than 6 months, especially as it took 2 months to GET the glasses from them. In Zenni's favor, I will say the did a great job on the script.
I can say your theory on where they CLAIM they are using the PURPORTED "shape memory" material makes a difference, is wrong based on MY experience. I bought a pair that says "shape memory bridge" right in that ad. *************** Frame#: 3157 Bendable (Memory) Titanium Half-Rim Frame $15.95 Lens Width 50mm, Height 26mm, Bridge 19mm Frame Width 134mm, Temple Arm Length 144mm Frame Weight with 1.57 index lens 14 grams Frame Color Choices: Silver, Grey, Gold, Blue, or Black. A medium narrow rectangular light weight half-rim frame with a memory titanium bridge ************** my overall experience with Zenni was very poor. I would definitely stick with their heavier more "basic" offerings, ignoring their "space age materials" products, IF I ever used them again, which is unlikely. I would rather pay a bit more, but still much less than a storefront place, and get something dependable. Which is why I am closely following this forum, for recommendations, as I am coming up on getting a new "batch" of glasses. BTW, repairing the temple is virtually impossible even with a kludgey fix, on a single wire bridge. Meanwhile my script "expired" and so I have to get a recheck before replacing the glasses, which means I am without computer glasses for quite awhile. I would definitely pay SOME more to avoid the problems of a poor quality frame.
