I have a 5c and Im thinking about getting this. Can I leave the sticky ring on my phone and put my case on over it once I'm done using the lens?

You can. But beware of this seller. I ordered for my 5s and they don't work..

Hi! I have an iPhone 5, and I put the case over it! The sticky ring is very thin, so you'll be able to put the case on it. Still, if you'll use the lense, you'd need to take the case off :)Hope this helps!

I actually got this for my sister so I'm not sure if you can do this . I personally would not . The sticky rings don't stick to the Lens's very well either. The Lens's are great themself but if I were you and you bought this I would purchase a lens clip as well that you could just put in your pocket. It only comes in 3 sticky rings I think and they don't stick for very long .

YES! the sticky ring is there to stay for your convenience. It is ultra flat and really unnoticeable. I recommend you get this, promise it will deliver very easy and endless fun photography!

The sticky side of the magnet mount isn't very sticky. You need to use a little bit of superglue to get the magnet to stick to the phone then you can leave it on there forever.

Yes it does. The lens will not be in the surface if this case is on the phone.

No, kit comes with magnetic rings that adhere to the phone around camera for the close up lens. For the long lens the kit comes with special case for the lens to screw onto.

I love this case. I took a black marker & ran it around the inside of the lens slot. Someone had mentioned doing that in a review and it works.

Depends of the case, because lens are magnetic. If your phone case has a big camera hole, you can used with it.

Yes, you will need to remove the case. The lens, tripod and case will only fit over the naked phone

It does not fit on the lens. You need to put it either on the base of the camera or flip it over and the other side fits the lens. You need to remove the lens and put the ring on the smaller end and then fit the lens back on.

The case that acts as a mount for the telephoto lens is perfectly fitted for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S; it won't fit any other phones. The other lenses use a magnetic ring, one side is sticky so you can stick it on the phone, the other side is magnetic so you mount the lenses. The magnetic ring will work with quit a few phones, but not all. The sticky side is pretty weak, I have problems with it sliding out of place; not a good design. All in all after some use, the whole kit is very impractical.

Good question - with the iPhone 6 the lens has a bit over an inch of clearance, I grabbed my old iPhone 4 (think its about the same size as a 5) and it appears to be Ok.

There are too many cases to bother with naming just one (or a handful). However, most cases are designed to very closely surround the camera and flash, so you're looking at some complications. You've got a couple of choices, but neither is very good. The first is to place the metallic ring beneath a VERY thin TPU case (preferably one with a high-friction surface) and hope the lens stays on. Seriously, that's a bad idea, but it's plausible. The alternative is to get a metal case that the magnets can stick to, which might be tough to find and the lens could still shift around. In either situation, the lens will be a few millimeters further from the camera than it was intended to be. That's not as bad as you might expect, because the lens isn't that strong. The only decent option is to keep the ring on the iPhone all the time and just be prepared to remove the case when you want to use the lens. It's annoying, but the layout of the iPhone makes it tough to do anything else.

yes, and you should keep it on all the time if you are not using it. Hit case is awesome, but the lens can get scratched if you place it down on the side of the lens.

Yes. It keeps the phone (lens and all) from coming into direct contact with the surface of a table or whatever you place the phone on. I'm completely satisfied with the case.

No, the lens screws onto a case that you have to put on the phone. You would have to remove any case you have on the phone, replace it with the case that comes with the lens kit, and then attach the lens to the case. For what it's worth this kit wasn't very good anyway, the lens is very low quality. the only thing I used from this kit is the little tripod and the mount for the phone that attaches to the tripod.

I have used the phone's camera while in the case. Although it takes a little practice, I found that it's not extremely awkward, and as you said, I don't want to remove the case and risk dropping the phone.

You'll have to remove the case. The lenses are good but really a pain for cases.

It really depends on the case you're using...There's actually a ton of room with the clip-on lens for even the most rediculously oversized case ON THE SIDES.HOWEVER, if the case is too thick (tall), then the iPhone's lens will not be able focus properly, because the clip-on lens will be too far away from the iPhone's lens. (Hope that makes sense)I'm using mine with an iPhone 5s and leaving on my Apple Leather 5s Case, which is very thin. The clip-on lens works fine once I find the sweet spot / center. I also like to zoom slightly, just enough to eliminate the vignetting, which is obviously worse if I leave the case on. Cheers!

There is a hole made for the camera lens so no, you don't have to remove it!!! It's a really good case you should consider buying it!
