I received my Photojojo lens set this past Friday and I've been snapping away ever since. I love the wide-angle and fisheye lenses. The macro is sweet but it only works REALLY close to an object. I haven't found a chance to use the telephoto lens just yet.
The metal ring that attaches to the camera body fits just fine in my Qubits snap-on case (though I did mount it slightly off center). The fisheye lens is a little bulky and doesn't exactly fit (centered) with the case on, which you can see in the some of the pics. I've ordered a TPU bumper and I'll remount the magnetic ring on the camera body. That should help get better centered images with the fisheye.
Hope this helps anyone considering the Photojojo lenses.

Wow that so cool. Good to see us Android users getting cool things like this like iPhone usually get. What did it cost? I might pick one up!

Yup, I know what you mean! The only iPhone envy I've ever had was due to their accessory selection.
It was $58 shipped to me in CA.
i had something like this on my evo, except i bought them for $5 on one of those direct from hong kong sites
can you post some pictures of where you mounted the metal rings, i wonder if it will mount find on the nexus itself.

I actually purchased the macro, wide/fisheye, and telephoto versions from Photojojo (link) back when I had my Droid X. The metal rings didn't fit on my Droid X fantastically, but they worked. The rings, however, fit like they were made for the Galaxy Nexus. The ring fits around the camera, without any overhand onto the back plate. (The previous post with images somewhat demonstrates this fact.)
Photojojo has the kit for about $50. For individual lenses, it's probably cheaper to go to a Direct-from-China place. DealExtreme even has some in blue and red versions.

Thanks for the pictures! does the metal ring stay on fine? i heard that it tends to fall off when pulling the lens off.

I've been switching lenses often and the metal ring hasn't budged one bit. It seems to be stuck on there real good.
Interesting! May have to buy a set. You can still remove the battery cover without touching the metal ring?
i put in my order earlier today, i should receive it on friday/sat im looking forward to it! i wish that they threw in like a cheap lanyard to put the lenses on when you buy the set. but its okay!

Go to page 1 near the bottom. The adhesive side of the ring stays on pretty well
With the adhesive side touching the phone, what is the other side? I'd be worried about not having a lens attached and it sticking to my pockets and attracting dirt.

I'm so tempted on jumping on these for our phones, but I'm a little concerned with the size of the ring inside if it'll clear our squared glass lens cover.
http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
From what I see I guess the ring on one side has a double sided tape? And the other side is magnetic.
Is there anyone out there that can measure in mm's and see if it'll clear our squared glass lens protector cover?
The diameters of the ring are 13.06mm (outer) and 9.38mm (inner)

i think our camera is way off to the edge... where the magnetic ring might not be able to fit properly....
but i could be wrong... since i'm just judging by the pics alone....not too sure.... has anyone tried this?
someone please test this out
i want that!!
If anything we benefit from the semi-flatter corner than the iPhone 3G. Look at these pics on this auction.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Fish-Eye-Lens-H...Hero-HD-mini-/280518921489?pt=PDA_Accessories
i might just have to get the wide angle/macro one!
Doing a quick measurement, I'm getting 12.5mm diagnal measurement on the lens opening on teh case. It is also 10.5mm x 10.5mm.
So, this will fit on just fine, but you won't be able to remove the battery cover (due to the ring sticking to the corners of the lens housing).
Damn that stinks, but I'm sure a little sandpaper can remove the adhesive around those corners so
i'm still willing to try it out.

Yep, some minor adjustments to the adhesive on the ring and it would work. Just get an Xacto knife and cut the corners.
I'd get a piece of thick paper...make an identical lens cover with it...then mock it up to the lens ring..and I'll then know where to cut.

Xacto knife, sandpaper will be too messy of a job and you'll have the possibility of messing it up.
Now I'm wondering if its going to be an issue to keep the T-Mobile black rubber phone case on with the ring installed.
There is a deal extreme 15mm lens which has really good corner quality. There is even a comparison video on youtube for it. It is a couple of bucks cheaper than the one you linked to.

Here you go. Comparison videos in the customer video section: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39814
Just ordered the fisheye from the link above. The 15mm ring will surpass the cam lens. What I'll probably do is use the extra back cover purple case and paste on the ring. So when I dont want to use it I can leave it home and use my standard blue battery case with my Tmobile rubber case. I'll post updates soon!
Would this work for a MyTouch 4G? If you've looked at it, you;ll see around the lens its kind of beveled, and the battery door would probably get stuck with the magnet they want you to put on it... also another thing to think about, magnets do damage hard drives, would it damage sd cards?

Interesting - didnt know those sort of things existed.
Not sure what to do about mine - I'll monitor this thread with interest
It was my understanding that the lens cover is made of the same/similar glass that's used for the front of the phone.
The HTC Desire etc. had a plastic lens cover that was on the back cover rather than on the actual phone itself which is why something like that needed to exist.

simply buy a cheap phone protector, cut it and put in to the lens. I do that on my hd2 for years and its great.

No I just did two really thin strips on the top and bottom of the lens so that it doesn't affect camera whatsoever. And on the bottom just above the speakers. Ill take a pic and post it when I have time. definitely working though. I'm at peace without needing a case.

Looks good. I'm sure I had some of this stuff lying around but predictably, I can't find it. Will definitely buy some!
I find it hard to believe that some case maker doesnt jump on this gap in the market and design a case with a simple sliding or magnetic cover over the lens... it seems simple, in my head!
Im going to try and make my own cover on a silicon case, just ordered some really thin magnetic strip and going to try to devise a simple material flap to cover the lens and fix with the magnet.. sue, it will prob look awful, but its a case of function over design for me!

This is my first thread
So i read the similar threads and can't find the exact question with me. I'm wondering specially those who like using this S2 for photography, is there any additional converter lens (macro,tele,wide) just like the iphone had?
Try to search on ebay there's no a single site came up. Since this S2 camera lens is square

There are a few things in settings like Macro focus, Panoramic, Action, but I haven't seen any specific apps yet.

Nah the ring don't cover the flash, when you use the lens, the lens will cover the flash a like.
The lens came with 2 ring, you might be able to reapply it if the glue didn't wear off when you remove it.

Heres the metal ring, it doesnt affect the flash if you use it without the lens.
Here the full lens which make it the wide angle one, flash wont work with it.
Here half of the lens which make it the macro one, still no flash, you need a good light source.

Hey so I got this today, And seeing as it works on pretty much all phones I decided to post here, In the first post I will have pictures of it / boxing, and in the second pictures taken with it,
It comes with 2 metal rings which are sticky on the back, these can attach to most phones camera's, The lens will magnetically attach to the ring, it's a strong hold but dont go shaking it around, Mine fell of onto concrete earlier, not much damage done but I tiny chip, Unnoticeable on the camera however so that's good One of the rings has a small indent on the side, this is for the Flash on an iPhone 4 so that the ring doesn't cover it, If anyone wants pics of it on an iphone 4 just ask, I have one on the iPhone and one on my SGSII, Now pics! (Also available are A macro/wide angle lens whcih will fit on the same ring, But fisheye is more fun , Just search ebay for Phone lens)

Check out the video linked below, the lens stays on just fine.

there are maybe also magnets in the lenses, set in so, that they attract to the N5 ? dont know just an idea
edit: after i have seen the video I am pretty sure that there are also magnets in the lenses. Very cool, now it makes sense that the lens is that big. The camera hardware in the case is small like in other phones

Would these only improve macro images? I really like to take scenery pictures, so would you say it would help with farther away images?

You would just have to buy the appropriate lens for what you want to do.
I had an Olloclip for my iPhone when I had it, I loved it. It had a wide angle, fisheye and macro lenses.
This is awesome! I will for sure be looking into this...
I have a magnetic macro lens that works beautifully with the N5. Got it from DealXtreme for under $10 way back when.
Here's a sample

Right, but for far away shots is the wide-angle lens the only thing that is available? I'm just curious if there is anything out there that will maybe make the shot seem closer. Something similar to optical zoom.

The Photojojo telephoto will give you 2x zoom, I'm sure there is something more powerful out there though...
Anyone has more links to Dealxtreme o whatever lenses? i dont know about this world but it seems to be pretty cool.
Thanks
So watch out for your Bank cards. Don't put them in the same pocket as the magnetic lens.

I'm sure this phone is N5...
this img appeared only when I accessed from my N5... not showing when accessed from laptop
i don't know how well it will perform combined with the ois. if the sensor and the internal lens moves because of the ois shouldn't also the external lens move? i'm not an expert in photography, but i think that if the sensor moves it probably will be out of the focal point of the external lens leading to crappy photos.
Not on nexus 5 but here is a old thread and pics using different lenses
