Unboxing: Fun iPhone Camera Lenses From Hong Kong

Continuing in my long tradition of buying weird shit online, I present to you cool iPhone camera lenses! These small lenses basically snap onto your phone with a small magnet, making them easy to pop on an off. I can’t help but feel they might work A LOT better on the 2G iPhones. The latest version curves pretty bad around the actual camera, preventing a perfect fit. I ordered these bad boys from Hong Kong, it took about 5 weeks, 5 very aggravating weeks.

Ask my wife, I was like a kid waiting for comic book x-ray glasses over these things. “Are they here yet? Are they here?” Finally they did arrive, lets take a look.

Each lens comes with instructions, a few magnets rings, cover, dangly thing and of course actual lens.

Time for some testing, here is the control shot with no extra lens.

The wide angle lens.

Whoa, fish eye angle!

Stalkrawesome Telescope Lens!

So as you can see, the lens side walls get in the way a bit. Still they are pretty fun and goofy looking enough to be a conversation starter at your next geek event. They only cost about $20, some shipping and the patience to wait for them to arrive.
