is there distortion on the magnified side?

Yes. There definitely is distortion on the magnified side. It's VERY cheaply made. Think of looking in a tin fun house mirror. It takes just the right angle, distance from the mirror & lighting for you to get a clear, normal image. All I can say about this mirror is save your money & get the Conair. Hope this helps.

Yes there is a distortion if the angle is greater than 45 degrees. And the audio is very very poor.

Can you host a picture of it? Mine has no warping and I don't see how it could be an optical illusion. Try drawing two lines with either side and see if they are parallel.

No, the lens is fixed. However, I've found I really don't need the extra magnification.

I haven't noticed any distortion. Just shot several photos to recreate what you are seeing and they all look clear, with and without flash. If it started after you got the case, you may have a defective one?

Not a problem at all. It's clear glass so there won't be any distortion. Just make absolutely sure you've cleaned away all dust and debris before you apply the screen protector.

Yes, this has a magnified side and a regular side. The magnified side is pretty good (although, after I turn 55... I believe that I will need stronger power to be sure I can really see all those chin hairs LOL!!!)

I haven't noticed it. The only image related issues I notice are the blurring of the corners of the screens (due to the nature of the adjuster glass that you must look through). The image is actually VERY clear and sharp in the center.

sorry have not had mine long enough to answer that. but i will tell you that the magnification is not what i expected.would have sent it back but my husband 'hard wired' it and i did not have the heart to tell him i was not happy with it. don't buy it!

I do not notice any visual distortion, although if objects have different focal lengths, there will be a natural distortion. The concavity of the mirror does an excellent job of compensating. Re: Large-since that is a subjective, I really cannot comment. I can only state that I can see my entire well lighted face and more flaws than I care to comment on :)

I had a little distortion with mine especially around seams but nothing too overwhelming.

Excellent. It doesn't appear to have any distortion or loss of quality when viewed from the side.

I've used my mirrors several times and never had this problem. I just tested one and the finding is that it's an optical illusion. When you first look into the magnified side it is so magnified that one can not see any thing. Then when you start "focusing" it does momentarily appear to be upside down. However, when you bring your face up close and truly focus using the magnification all is correct. Not upside down at all. So maybe experiment a little on getting it into focus and I believe you will be happy with the results. Good luck.Betty

Yes. Just like most macro lens extentions there is a fish eye effect. Zooming in will bring it down some but the lens is curved to create the effect so it will take digital altering in the end for a non-warped image.

I havent used this in a while but im pretty sure the magnified image will not be right side up. This doesnt matter for viewing things in the sky but is not very good for viewing things on the ground. I would choose something else for your purpose...

There is some "blurriness" around the edges. I do not find it objectionable.

One side is plain the other is magnified but its not 10x that they say it is more like 3x.
