Real Fisheye, Macro & Wide Angle Lens for phones!

flexnix · Aug 20, 2010

I'm so tempted on jumping on these for our phones, but I'm a little concerned with the size of the ring inside if it'll clear our squared glass lens cover.

From what I see I guess the ring on one side has a double sided tape? And the other side is magnetic.

Is there anyone out there that can measure in mm's and see if it'll clear our squared glass lens protector cover?

The diameters of the ring are 13.06mm (outer) and 9.38mm (inner)

i think our camera is way off to the edge... where the magnetic ring might not be able to fit properly....

but i could be wrong... since i'm just judging by the pics alone....not too sure.... has anyone tried this?

If anything we benefit from the semi-flatter corner than the iPhone 3G. Look at these pics on this auction.

i might just have to get the wide angle/macro one!

Doing a quick measurement, I'm getting 12.5mm diagnal measurement on the lens opening on teh case. It is also 10.5mm x 10.5mm.

So, this will fit on just fine, but you won't be able to remove the battery cover (due to the ring sticking to the corners of the lens housing).

Damn that stinks, but I'm sure a little sandpaper can remove the adhesive around those corners so
i'm still willing to try it out.

I'm sure it can be done fairly easily. I just don't want to be the guinea pig for it, so please post results if you go through it.

Yep, some minor adjustments to the adhesive on the ring and it would work. Just get an Xacto knife and cut the corners.

I'd get a piece of thick paper...make an identical lens cover with it...then mock it up to the lens ring..and I'll then know where to cut.

Xacto knife, sandpaper will be too messy of a job and you'll have the possibility of messing it up.

Now I'm wondering if its going to be an issue to keep the T-Mobile black rubber phone case on with the ring installed.

There is a deal extreme 15mm lens which has really good corner quality. There is even a comparison video on youtube for it. It is a couple of bucks cheaper than the one you linked to.

Here you go. Comparison videos in the customer video section: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39814

Just ordered the fisheye from the link above. The 15mm ring will surpass the cam lens. What I'll probably do is use the extra back cover purple case and paste on the ring. So when I dont want to use it I can leave it home and use my standard blue battery case with my Tmobile rubber case.

I'll post updates soon!

Would this work for a MyTouch 4G? If you've looked at it, you;ll see around the lens its kind of beveled, and the battery door would probably get stuck with the magnet they want you to put on it... also another thing to think about, magnets do damage hard drives, would it damage sd cards?
