First off, I have to say that I want to really like this product. I've been an amateur/semi-pro photographer for many years. I used to shoot with film back in the day, and made the switch to digital reluctantly. These days, I use a pro-grade Canon rig with point-and-shoot Sony as backup. But I don't always have my cameras on me. So, I find myself taking a lot of snaps with my iPhone.
This lens kit (which is small enough to ride in my messenger bag all of the time) adds a world of versatility to the camera I always have close at hand. In the week that I've had it, I've already taken countless snaps with it. The quality of the glass is really quite good (none of the extreme chromatic aberration I was afraid of), and the lenses do pretty much what you'd expect them to do.
That said, there are a few cons you should know about before you buy the Olloclip. First, the wide-angle lens really likes to come unscrewed from the macro lens, so you'll need to be careful when you take it out of the carrying bag. Second, the Olloclip itself covers up your flash. That's not a big deal, since the flash on the iPhone is pretty much useless to begin with. Last, and most importantly, the lenses themselves cut off the very edges of your optics, so you get rounded black borders on every shot you take. If you follow the rule "frame wide; crop close," then you'll be fine, but that was an unpleasant surprise to me. One last thing, the picture of the lenses that I ordered showed them in black, but the ones I got were red. That doesn't bother me, but it's worth mentioning.
Over all, I'm okay with this kit, but I probably would have looked around more if I'd have known all of this.

Works just as advertised, I am very pleased.
1. Put a house on the market and used it to take interior room pictures using the wide angle lens. The realtor was so impressed, she used my photos over the professional ones.
2. The is NO loss in clarity sliding a lens over the existing iPhone 4/4S lens. Pictures come out clear and bright as can be.
3. The fit onto the iPhone is very secure - but it cannot go over a case. This can be a bit of a hassle.
4. The fish-eye lens is interesting, but not very practical for me. Took an interesting picture of an entire gymnasium. Got the whole thing in the picture, but other than for fun, I don't see the practical use.
5. Have not used the close-up yet - but I experimented with it a bit. You can get "VERY" close to the object being shot (1/3-1/2 inch) and the image is clear as can be.
6. The item is rugged. It has been dropped a few times and nothing was damaged.
7. the lens bag is also a lens cleaner. worked on the lens and on my eyeglasses
The entire product is designed in a cleaver way and works very well indeed.

I ordered this directly from Olloclip.
It comes with all 3 lenses, (fisheye, wide angle, macro)
I actually ordered it for a vacation i was taking to Chicago.
Great customer service (when i had questions about shipping)
The Olloclip is small, easy to transport, has incredible quality.
I often have people approach me just to ask what it is.
Very easy to use, well made, come with a little micro fiber carrying case.
Awesome accesory, Must have for people who love taking photos with their iPhone 4.

Outrageously successful accessory
this is a neat deal. you have to be careful not to lose it or drop your phone when pulling it in or out of your pocket as the clip does hang up, but it works very well.

Not too bad
Just wish it fit just a tad tighter on the iPhone. Over time, I hope it doesn't loosen it's grip on my phone with usage.
