Are the lens glass or plastic? How are they initially on a phone is sent by Apple or by the carrier?

I believe Apple sends a glass lens, however I don't think this replacement is glass. I don't know for sure. The whole piece seemed fragile and not the same quality of plastic as my original phone, but it was a great fit.

Its made by a 3rd party with the same specs. Its made with plexiglass. Which is actually harder to crack than the older ones.

I don't actually know the answer to that question... I do know that the back casing looks identical to the original back casing on the iPhone 4s and was the same weight and seemed durability. I even compared the camera lens hole the other day (still had the shattered back for some reason) and they seemed to be the same size and looked similar. But my pictures come out pretty light. They aren't bad pics; nor are they distorted, they are just light. I just use a photo editor and manually darken them and add more contrast where needed.

The lens housing is made of plastic. This lens is sometimes referred to as the " plastic fantastic".

Plastic. But replacing them was not much more than getting a professional to clean the fog from the lenses.

the optics come in a carrying case. there is a silicon like phone cover that has an attachment that holds the optics that you can leave on the phone...this does not come with a case.

The lenses are pretty good quality much like ones your find in regular sunglasses. They are not glass but a quality plastic.

I believe they are glass. They certainly appear to be. I have the polarizing filter permanently attached to my Nikon 7700 and I'm very happy with it (esp. considering the price).

I wanted to buy those lenses for m iphone 5c but I am worried about that shadow they say is produces when you take the photograph. Can someone show me an example of how it looks like?

Body is metal and the lens are plastic. They are so far working well after several months.

The set comes with thin metal circular plates that are sticky on one side and just metal on the other so the lens magnetizes to the sticker around your camera. I just leave the sticker in my phone and my lens in my purse and it's ready to use! It's super simple and I would recommend these. I've used them a lot

Because the lens is light I'd guess it was plastic but that's only a guess. It's installed now so I can't check. It's working fine whatever the material.

The only plastic is the lens cover and the part that is around the lens. There is a plastic knob right above the lens. I find it very sturdy other than the lens cover which I took of in the first 5 minutes that I used it because it had nothing to hold it open and just flapped around. No biggy to me.

They are plastic, like lower end sunglasses is how I would compare. They are pretty decent quality for the price you pay.

The actual lens? Or the material that holds the lens? Everything in this set is metal. Hard for me to tell if the lens is glass or plastic. But it works pretty well.... only really good for far away telephoto type stuff.

The lens is actually a polycarbonate which is a optical quality material and virtually unbreakable. It is actually a lighter and more expensive material than glass.

Well it has glass and plastic, just like the original from apple, it's identical from iPhone 4S I recommend you to buy it it's great

Plastic. I got them in two days. They came in two separate boxes bundled together. They were wrapped in a plastic bag with bubble wrap around that. I have not installed them yet, but they look identical to my oem lenses. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Sorry but I don't think I can give you a definitive answer. I thought it had a glass lens but I just went and looked and I can't tell for sure. Whatever it is, it was a good match for my needs and much less than the dealer wanted to charge.
