I bought that frame, too, but for a pair of glasses that are specific for music reading, so they don't get a lot of use. I am new to frameless glasses, but understand from reading everything possible that they are very fragile/extremely delicate and not to be used in active situations like sports. I mean ANY frameless, not just Zenni 3411. Recently I put down a pair of frameless and nearly sat on them, which reminded me how careful I need to be. I had been wearing titanium frames for 20 years so have to retrain myself bigtime.
About the nosepads falling out, that shouldn't happen. But it did on a metal-frame I bought from Zenni. When I repaired it (and Zenni was quick to ship me both new nosepads and a little screwdriver tool), I used Loctite Threadlocker, a compound that "glues" the screw in but is releasable. I also suggested its use to the very responsive Zenni customer service rep. Dunno what will come of that. After all is said and done, the Zenni 3411 frame is truly has the ability to disappear. Its (non)appearance got an amazed laughs from friends. You must know that its width depends upon the width of the lenses you choose.
