I love the carrier for it, I love how small and light it is and how it does block the UV rays, but it’s impossible to get it tucked in like it was before. It doesn’t have a button to pop it open and it took 5 tries to get it to lock in place to stay open. I love the color and do think it’s worth it since it’s so easy to pack or carry.

Finally an actual mini umbrella, I have tried minis before but none ever being an actual mini umbrella compact and easy to carry and this one is perfect. Collapses to a mini size that fits in one hand. Comes with a carry case for storage if you would like. The only slight issue was learning to fold it back to fit back in its case for storage but after a little practice I was able to make it fit right into the case. Having this tiny umbrella in my purse is great for when I get caught out in the rain.

I pulled this out of the hard-sided case and was super-impressed... then I tried to put it up and couldnt get it to lock in place, so I scrambled to find directions (none included), and dropped the star rating in my head down to two... then I found the little button on the underneath the canopy on the side at the top where you push it up to lock it into place and fell back in love with it. I just wish there were instructions so I wouldnt have momentarily been super disappointed. :) The umbrella itself is super small (just like in the picture) yet opens up to provide enough coverage for me. The ribbing seems sturdy enough as long as you arent fighting a windstorm, and the closing band is large to keep it all together. The case is a bonus, though the strap on the case is more like a ribbon. Overall, I love this little guy.

I could not believe how small this folds up to. This umbrella is almost half the size of my normal small umbrella. Making it compact enough to throw into my handbag. I like that it has its own storage case/carrier. There is a strap for it to be carried like a side bag. The strap can even be tucked to the inside to keep from getting tangled with other items when stored into your bag. Just so happens it was raining (a steady rain, not a down pour, but heavier than a drizzle) the day I received this little umbrella. So I took it for a spin, and it performed well at keeps me dry. At first my issue was getting it folded back up to fit into its carrier once it dried. Which I’ve never been real good a getting umbrellas wrapped up very nicely. After about the third attempt I figured it out. Once I closed the umbrella I folded the handle portion up, and then wrapped it closed this did the trick. Done it several more times this way and it folded up nicely and fit back into its case/carrier. So happy that I bought this.
