I ordered this. Will the MAGNETISM of the lens compromise my phone info???

I have a iphone 4s and mounted it to my ballistic case and used it without any incidents. I have also tested the lens without the case and found no issues regarding loss of data or software corruption.

I have had no trouble with mine. So no not that I know of. And the magnets are not very strong so you should be fine.

No! The magnetism should not have any effect on your phone. I've used it on my iPhone and nothing weird has happened. No signal loss or making your screen look crazy unlike a TV. Don't worry, your phone won't be compromised. Enjoy the lens.

Well these are universal to an extent. The lenses have a magnetic ring it connects to. Easy to pull on and off of course. However, the magnetic ring is circular. So the camera will work well with the lense still, but if you don't want a circular ring over your square camera plate, I wouldn't get it. Also, the ring has a light adhesive to stick to your phone. So it won't leave residue. But the only issue I would have to say with the magnetic ring is: if you done have at least a 1cm by 1cm space for your camera aka (it's in the top corner or isn't flat surfaced) then I wouldn't get this. Hope this answers your question. Well these are universal to an extent. The lenses have a magnetic ring it connects to. Easy to pull on and off of course. However, the magnetic ring is circular.

It depends on your case. If it's real, real thin then you might be able to keep it on but for most cases I would remove the case so you get a nice fitting of the lenses over your phone's lens. You'll get the best results by removing case and the pictures come out so nice that it's worth it to take the case off!

The lens emits it's own wifi signal. That's how you connect to the phone... Make sure your wifi is on; you don't need to connect to the internet.

As far as the lens fitting on the Galaxy Note 4 it will totally work! However, I noticed that the Note 4 also has image stabilization. We've seen a few instances where if a magnet is used for the stabilization it will counter the magnet in our lenses and cause the stabilization to go wonky. If that happens we'd gladly accept it for a refund. We have found no long-term damage to phones if it does counter the stabilization.

Good question! The metal plate is not magnetic at all. But here's even better news: I use an iPhone case that has a rear thin wallet holding my driver's license, one debit card, and a couple of business cards. I use the debit card a lot. Even though it's right next to the magnet when the phone is attached to the mount, there is no degradation in function for the debit card.

there is a sticky magnet that goes over but around the lens on the Iphone and the fisheye lens attaches to that via magnet. So, if the lens on the iphone5 is similar to iphone4s it should be fine. But I have not tried it myself.

I believe that it will work on an phone that has a round camera lens. The Fish Eye Lens is magnetic but if your phone doesn't have a metal back (my son's iPhone is the plastic back) the send you small sticky rings that you can use. So, the sticky part attached to the phone and the other side of the ring is metal to allow the lens to magnetically attach. Probably best to ask the seller, just to make sure though! Hope this helps.

They give you a selfadhesive metal ring ,the lens is magnetined. the lenses are not that good.

each lens comes with three small rings magnetized. Simply place the one you will use and what lens you stick on the phone and ready and to move it off just a bit and as I said before take off rings and lenses are fully magnetized

Comes with round magnetic "hollow dots" that stick around your phone/camera lens. Then extra lens(s) stick magnetically to that "hollow dot" that is stuck on your phone. Works great. My biggest problem is where to store extra the extra lenses while on the go.

The lenses are magnetic so if your phone is made of something (metal) they will stay in place while you take a picture. If not, no they won't work. The package comes with several metal rings that are suppose to stick to your plastic phone to hold the magnetic lens over the camera lens on the back of your phone but the metal rings would not stick to my phone. A simple way to check to see this product will work on your phone is to see if a refrigerator magnet will stick to your phone. If it does your golden, if not move on.

Because of how generic this kit is, the lenses could probably be used on almost any camera phone you can think of. If your phone doesn't have metal around its camera for the magnets to stick to, you simply apply the magnetic ring, which is sticky like a Post-It note, and then attach the lenses to the magnetic ring.

Compare the lens diameter of your phone to that of the iPad mini. If it is the same, and if your phone has a back that would accept the sticky tape side of the ring then you should be okay.

I've used this accessory for many months and never had a problem (I've upgraded to a Nex-6, which comes with a viewfinder, so I don't use it anymore) but I remember a few people reporting damaging issues related to the magnets. I have always found that an exaggeration (at least in theory). Now, when you bring a crazy issue like this to the table....

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?

I leave the adhesive metal ring attached, but have thus far had to remove my iPhone 5 from its protective case when using the lenses. I'm unlikely to drop it while using the lenses, but taking the case on and off is annoying. Good luck.
