Gimmick, not practical
I got this as a gift, but it doesn't get used much because it's pretty much useless. The concept is good, but in practice it's more gimmicky than anything. Image quality is clear, the overall construction is good - fit, the threads, etc - and the clip is solid and not flimsy. The lens selection is where it goes wrong.- The kaleidoscope lens and polarizer filter have almost no practical use.- The Wide Angle lens is not much wider than the normal phone lens, and you really can't even tell the difference. If you can't fit everyone in a shot, it's faster to just back up two steps.- The Super Wide lens does give a wider field of view, but it is pretty distorted. I found that using the phone's built-in panoramic feature produced a superior picture, and it was much faster.- The Macro lens only works REALLY close up - like an inch or less away; depth of focus is almost non-existent, so you can't even take a picture of a flower. Most phones will focus close-up enough on their own to take pictures of things like flowers, bugs, etc. and give you a decent depth of field.- The Telephoto lens, which is probably the most needed lens, is NOT "2x" and does NOT magnify as in the product description's pictures. It provide approximately a 1.4x magnification, which is "something" but almost pointless. In fact the first time I used it, I had to switch it on and off a few times to actually see the difference.- The Fish Eye lens was actually interesting, and since it produces the typical round image of a fisheye lens, I found it fun to use occasionally.The device has no provision for repeated alignment, and amateur users will likely have poor results. You have to visually center the lens by looking through it and nudging it around. A better system would use an adjustable clip that could be clipped on without having to manually, visually center it every single time.

Two wide angle options are especially useful
I got this kit to add wide-angle for Zoom calls using a laptop, because I frequently have others in the room with me and we don't have to crowd as much. The lenses can also be used with phones. I haven't tried out the telephoto lens with my phone, but it looks handy. I like it.

Great for conference calls
I bought this for FaceTime-type conference calls, so the people at the other end can see everyone in the room I'm in. Without it, the computer's camera "sees" only some of the participants.This is super-easy to use, just clip it over the computer's camera. I have a MacBook Air, so it's very easy, as it should be with any laptop with a built-in camera.I use only the fish-eye attachment so can't speak for the others. But the build quality is very good and it has a nice little, padded zip-up case.Image quality is OK, see below. I don't think you'd want it for fine photography, but it's totally fine for my use. For the price it's a bargain.

Get a DSLR
This was my first purchase of a cell phone clip on lens pack just to play around. It's fun, but the quality certainly doesn't compare to real DSLR lenses for a real DLSR cameras. Don't kid yourself. You get noticeable image bowing and dark halos around the edges. It's a fun toy but not for serious work, or even photos you want to share on social media. My feedback no doubt affects all products of this genre, not just this manufacturer.On the plus side, this product is well packaged, seems to include high-quality (tiny!) lenses in a nice pouch with cloth and instructions. The trick is placing and adjust the clipped lense at the ideal location to mitigate halo effect (if you can). Changing camera aspect ratio to 1:1 does help, but who takes square photos?

Great product for the price.
The lenses work really well and fit easily. The lenses are plastic so they aren't as clear as glass but work well enough.I use these on my laptop as well for online calls and discussions.

Pretty good
All in all it’s a fairly good product. I wish I could mount the CPL to other lens and that I wish there was someway to get the lens lined up faster but those are small things. All in all, I’ve enjoyed using it
