Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Active Lenses for Apple® iPhone® 6 and 6 Plus, particularly for its ease of use and the quality of the telephoto lens. 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.

    I used this at an outdoors concert where I didn't want to bring my SLR. It worked better than my expectations.

    Great option for older Iphone 6 Plus since built in camera capabilities are not as advanced as the more recent Iphones. Used the telephoto lens for daughter's gymnastics event quality was great to enhance the zoom and take nice photos and videos. Like that it has the wide view and telephoto lens in one piece for easier functionality.

    Didn't work with a Case

    I had to return this item, because it is unusable if you have a case on your phone. I assumed that it could be adapted, but it was not. Too bad, because it's a good concept! I couldn't recommend this for that reason; I don't know anyone who doesn't protect their phone with a case.

    Great lens for your phone! Only issue is you have to take off any phone case before putting lenses on.

    Did not even use this since I am no comfortable taking my phone out of the case -- you have to purchase their case for the lenses to fit. If I had to remove phone and pot the lenses on every time, it wouldn't be worth it.

    Loved the lens but you can't use it over a case. I don't want to take phone out of case to use and don't feel comfortable carrying phone around without case

    Fits well and the ultra wide lens is noticeably wider then the wide lens on 4 in 1.. Wish it was adjustable for the iPhone plus so you could lock it in place and use the front facing camera without sliding it over. Inspect the lenses under a light right away. My first one had specks in the telephoto so I exchanged it.

    Best Buy employees were knowledgeable, helpful, and efficient in assisting my search for additional lenses to enhance my iPhone 6s ability to make an amazing array of photos. From family pictures to detailed images for research!

    I had a challenge using this clip on lense since my case is thick. It does a zoom better than without a lense.

    Lens system probably works. However the attachment system is not going to work with any kind of case - even a slim case. Also the attached clip damaged my Zagg screen cover as it takes a lot of force to snap it on and adjust the fit from side to side. Decided to return.

    Great lens. Purchased for my parents so they did not have to take a large camera on their trip to Europe. They loved it. Works great.
