SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The NEO-S describes the integration of a small and powerful neodymium magnet built into an approximately 1″ rubber tube, to be slid onto the “arms” of sunglasses and reading glasses for the purpose of safely securing said glasses to an article of a person's clothing. By closing the arms together, the user would be allowing the magnets within the rubber tubes to attract to one another thus causing a “clip” to be produced. When contact is made, the glasses are securely fastened to the wearer's clothing preventing them from being able to fall off freely. To disengage the magnetic “clip” the wearer would simply pull outward on the glasses thus loosening the magnetic attraction between the two poles and releasing the glasses.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The Neodymium sleeve 10 houses two small Neodymium magnets 11 integrated into the walls of the sleeve 10 (As shown in FIGS. 1 and 1A). The sleeve 10 is to be slid over the “arms” 13 of the sunglasses 12. When the arms 13 are in the open position as in FIG. 2, the magnets 11 do not interact with one another. However, when the arms 13 are closing together (FIG. 3) the magnetic attraction 14 creates a “clip” for the purpose of securely fastening the glasses 12 to an article of a person's clothing 15.
