Just received my fish-tank lens from usbfever.com

Funny gadget, wanted to try it... cost me $23 shipping included.
Thuis camera hasn't got the ability to focus on the whole image of course, so here's an example of what it does:

Can you possibly take a pic with and without that lens to see the difference? =)

oh and does it work with the magnet and fits perfectly?

Ok, it's dark over here and as you know the camera sucks pretty hard then but this will give you an idea. Both pictures taken from exactly the same spot.
Also, the magnetic ring on the back cover (sticks with 3M tape) and the fish-tank lens on it.

Whoa that really is a big difference!

Does it fit to the original case with that ring?

As you can see in the third picture it fits the original back cover.
It sticks out a little bit (exactly 1 mm), but it's not very annoying to me.
I tried to put the magentic ring on the inner side of the back cover, but the cover didn't easily fit on the phone itself and the magnetic force was too low to hold the lens. So it has to be on the outside of the back cover.
