not perfect but overall a good product

I've been wearing pocket lenses for the last two weeks while traveling. Although I encountered some negative points during use, overall I am satisfied with the product. I only used the wide angle function and not the macro function. Here are the pros and cons I've encountered. Pros: Nicely packaged. Small and light. He let me take pictures that I would not have been able to take otherwise. The optical quality seems to be very good. Keeps iPhone secure during use. Fits perfectly with my iPhone case (Laza brand). Simply center a pocket lens over a camera lens to avoid vignetting. The protective cover is well made. Cons: The rubber ring that presses against the camera is just glued on; Sliding a pocket lens over the iPhone case caused the adhesive to fail and the ring to slip. Luckily I didn't lose the rubber ring although it fell off one day. The wide-angle lens twisted tightly at first and stayed in place, but after a few days, the wide-angle lens did not tighten. It says it's connected but spins freely. It doesn't seem to affect the function of the lens, but something in the thread holding the lens in place seems to have failed. The lens cap is small and loose, making it easy to lose, and I didn't bother to cover the lens between uses. There is barrel distortion when using this lens, but this isn't a disadvantage of the lens itself and is expected from wide-angle lenses, so buildings don't appear to be built in straight lines. Despite the shortcomings mentioned, I am satisfied with the purchase. and I think it's worth the price I paid.
