Customers are saying

The telephoto lens is said to be comparable to a small camera. However, customers are negative about the case compatibility and the fit of the product. Some customers have mentioned that the lenses do not work over cases and will not fit on phones with a protective case.

    Of the many kinds of attachable lenses and using a small handful throughout the generations, magnetic, 4 in 1, slip on, clip on, and build quality- this product only has been the best "Pro-sumer consumer" type! Initially bought to photograph a concert! The wide angel was superb quality, my whole intention of buying was to have a nice wide angle on the go, the other versions had detachable lenses which can cause dust interference, with this model the high quality plastic holster and aluminum slip on style lens will reduce interferance. My biggest gripe with this is you're absolutely without a doubt going to have to expose your iPhone to some risky elements by that I mean, take off any otter box or lifeproof cases.... Unless you dremel out a spot for it! Custom photo guy you! Anywho dispite having to disassemble the phone down to the core just to use it it's fantastic results and a great way to have some new creativeness to your iphoneography! Pricey- yet justifying the rough and toughness this little guy and endure I'd wait to get this on sale, as I did so!

    It doesn't fit without scratching up and breaking your phone. If you look at the pic i have a glass case over my screen. It busted the glass so i had to cut part of it off and chipped the corner

    After several attempts at a quick "lens" for your iPhone, they are getting better! I used magnetic lens attachments, full body clip ons. Cheap plastic lenses to aluminum bodied lenses. Ollo seems to be getting better with each generational phone. I purchased the TWO lens option over the FOUR lens option because of what my needs for what I was intending on using. Fish eye and macro lens attachments just didn't interest me, and I don't like the idea that you can just unscrew a lens to get X lens. This concept they have is sleek and the holster is a nice way of transporting, comes with high quality lanyard, a small keyring, and a pouch. I attached this to my iPhone 6+ and honestly, as to all options out there I knew this was going to require that my otter box case was going to have to be taken off to use it. Knowing that I love the lens! Yet I do feel like I won't be using it as much as I'd like too. Fits on snug and doesn't feel cheap, unlike others I've used in past. The performance on the wide angle is impressive. The telephoto lens wasn't as impressive as I'd had hoped for but again my initial thought was to buy for a optical wide angle. You can obviously download apps that "replicate" these effect or of course you can use the zoom function when taking photos but the quality causes photo interpolation. If you want to take a "professional approach" to iphonography this will be a fantastic alternative for a more creative process/workflow. Consumer interest for price point is severely lacking integrity. At $99.99 price tag and the removal of my phone case for every use... I'm guaranteeing I will not be getting the fullest potential out of this product. Again this product has a solid build. Metal structure and glass lenses with lens caps and a neat holster to carry you investment on the go. But just to know you have to be conscious about when exactly will I be using this product and disassembling my phone- which I hate having out side of a case. Everybody drops phone. I feel naked using this product. Be careful and have fun!

    I bought this the same time I bought the OlloClip Macro lens for my iPhone 6s and I really LIKE these!! You get 2x optical zoom on top of the exsisting phone zoom and the ultra wide is great without any fisheye distortion. I have spent a lot of money on the 35mm digital camera and lens but since I always have my phone with me and these lens are soooo portable, I find that I have been using my phone more than my camera! The only drawback for me is that I have to take my phone out of its case in order to use them. It would be great if the manufacturer could make it flexible but I have fun with it anyways :)

    I was looking for a way to zoom in and get closer to my subject. It worked perfect. Pictures were great and video was wonderful with zoom side of the lens. Actually think color of my subjects were better and more accurate in bright sunny conditions than without the lens. My two negatives and reason for lower rating... In my opinion you have to take it on and off every time you take a picture or video because it would fall off if you walked around with it. It was a very loose fit on iPhone 6+. I always felt like I would lose this $100 item. The other negative is the wide angle is more of a fish eye effect.

    Fairly easy to use and results are better than just taking pictures with cell phone itself. However, you have to take off any cell phone covers first. Also, you cannot have any cell phone clear protectors as it will break them. The sales clerk was unfamiliar with the product so we didn't know this until after buying.

    We purchased this as a gift for a mobile phone photo taker who uses the digital zoom a lot. Not satisfied with those results this was the logical next step. Lens clip is small enough to be portable and a snap to use. Resulting photos are quite nice in comparison. Big drawback is that you must remove any phone cover you have protecting your phone as the clip is a set width for the dimensions of the phone itself. Taking off and reatttaching the cover can be a bit of a battle for elderly or arthritic users. Leave the cover off or get one that is easy to remove is the solution. The lens works as advertised. Happy with the purchase.

    I bought this for my iPhone 6s - the wide lense is excellent to use in tight spaces but the barrel distortion is so obvious. If u can live with that then it's fine. The tele is good but I don't really use it that much.

    Nice gadget to use on cell phone for pictures. Quality photos, better than without it. The problem is the cell phone case must be removed to clip it on, this is inconvenient and leaves the phone unprotected.

    It gives you additional distance & width for photos with your iPhone. You must remove your phone case but then it's easy to slip on.
