    Decent for the price and local availability

    TIP: Mount the clip to the phone and position it directly over the camera sensor before you screw the lens onto the clip. Makes lining up the lens much easier. Make sure the clip doesn't move while threading on the lens. Also, please note the macro and wide-angle lenses are a set. To use the macro, you need to remove the wide-angle lens from it (it's basically a 2-in-1 lens, while the fish-eye is a totally separate lens). I bought this because I needed a wide-angle lens for my second phone, which I use as a dash camera in my car and truck. The original field of view wasn't really wide enough to be useful. Looking online, I found a number of options before I found a Best Buy store a half hour drive away that had this one in stock. Local availability is always a major plus in my opinion. The build on this lens set is decent. I am not sure if the lens frames are aluminum or composite, but they are quite sturdy and don't feel like they would break if I squeezed them hard, like some other products like this I've seen. The clip is standard-fare plastic. I can't say how durable it will be in the long run, but it seems to be acceptable right now. Quality of the images is very impressive. The fish-eye and wide angle lenses do exactly what they should. The fish-eye is advertised as a 180 degree FOV, but in my experience, it's more like 160 degrees, which is plenty for me. The wide angle lens just expands the FOV just a little, maybe 20%. I haven't measured it. It's not that noticeable unless you take a comparison picture along side it, but it does expand the view a fair bit. This is actually the lens I settled on for my dash cam application, as it provides the best balance of FOV and image quality. The macro lens is amazing. I've attached a couple of pictures I took of a gold $1 Presidential coin. The fact that they were taken with the low-end camera in a Galaxy Core Prime is amazing to me. If you are for some reason unfamiliar with the gold $1 dollar coin, they are very near the same size and thickness as a US quarter, just barely larger. The only issue I have is I can't really use the flash with the lens on my phone. This will of course depend on the design of the phone, but most phones place the flash very near the camera sensor, so the additional lens creates a big shadow when the flash is used. This is a somewhat minor issue, but it is something to consider. Also, if you have a very thick case on your phone, this may not work. For best results, the clip needs to be directly on (i.e. touching) the camera window on your phone. On one of my phones, the case is thin and the camera is only about a half millimeter from the clip and it works great. The other one has a thicker case, and the clip floats about 1 to 1.5mm above the camera. It still works quite well, but it is a bit more difficult to line up the lens perfectly. If the lens isn't lined up, you might get some extra distortion and darkness around the corners. As with any optics, the further the lens is from the camera, the worse this becomes.

    Great add--on for wider coverage of subjects. Some phone cases may need to be removed for best fit.

    These lenses I picked up just out of curiosity and was really surprised. I managed to take some pretty nice pictures. My favorite is of all the lenses is the macro lens. The rest are very good but I was looking to be able to take really close up pictures of pretty much anything. The lenses are really easy to cart in their protective case and easy to install. Over all you cannot go wrong with this set of lenses. For the price, great recommendation.

    I bought this item going through the check out line. The lenses are okay, but I wouldn't recommend it because of the cheapness of it. It also only came with two of the lenses as opposed to the three it advertised.

    This set of lens for my iPhone was perfect and it also connected to my moms Samsung Galaxy which was cool since that phone takes better pictures. But the lens were simple and clipped over my case (Lifeproof) and took great pics, my favorite lens being Fish eye.

    The clip on feature makes this lens set fast to switch to for wide angle group pics. The fisheye lens offers a fun view. I haven't used the macro lens yet but look forward to it. A good product for the price.

    It's a decent lens system, you can't expect professional pics from only spending $10. I would say the price is fair for what you get.

    These were purchased as gifts and I believe that they have performed as advertised. I would purchase another set for myself if and when I get a smart phone of my own.

    If you don't care about black around your photos then it's cool. At night the clip blocks half the flash so it doesn't come out all that great but at night it comes out better then expected

    Difficult to use with a case so the lens would reach the camera. Little cumbersome but when I just held the lens on the camera it worked fine. Just didn't function as expected with my S7 edge.

    These are a nice little set of lenses for playing around or taking a few unique pictures. I've hardly touched them regardless. Don't expect to do pro quality work with them however. The biggest limitation I have run into is that the provided clip is not long enough to center the lenses over the camera of my HTC One M8. I can still make it work, but the lenses remain slightly offset, and I know this affects the image quality.

    My old iPhone had a decent camera. But I wanted more. So I got a set of lenses that attached magnetically. It worked well enough. Not great, not poorly. This set is quick to attach with the spring clip base. The lens screws into the base much like a lens onto a camera. It takes a little adjusting to get it centered well over the phone's lens. But after that, it works very well. There are three lenses, and each does a creditable job. I like these, and will continue to use them.
