    Got them for Xmas - complete waste of time and money. Still sitting unused on my shelf and I don't have an iPhone anymore. Think they were only a tenner though on flea bay.

    It would give you sharper pics. It's not silly at all. Try it

    How in the name of holey does the lens attatch to the IPhone? It's not like you can hang things off the existing lens....don't get it. The weight / dize of the IPhone is not sufficient to support lens either IMO...

    They were in their sh*te ever €118 before this "deal"
    €45 is even a rip

    exact same one on chinvasion for €12 and a bigger discount for bulk buyers

    These deal sites really need to vet the amount of cheap chinese crap that appears on them all the time

    Back on topic, would that lens not be too heavy? No mention of the lens weight

    it says Universal attachment that gently clamps to your iPhone 4. but i still don't see how it would clamp on as the back of the iphone is completely flat where the camera lens is!

    pullandbang - can you enlighten us? lol

    I doubt it would give you sharper pics, it's probably a POS plastic optic even worse than the iphone's existing camera.

    Unless it's entirely made of plastic, which is probably the case :-D

    Not that I have one, but you can see in the photos that there's a black case on the back of the iPhone. The case clips on to the phone, and the lens screws on to this case.
