Great Lenses, Not for iPhone 11 Pro Max
The overall quality of the lenses seems really good. These have the same feel as the lenses for my SLR. All three came with a cover for both sides of the lens.There is a case to carry all three lenses, however, the cutout for two of them is smaller than the lens so they just sit on top and not necessarily fit snug into the case. The macro lens is meant to fit into the hole in the case, but it can prove difficult to remove because when inserted, it is flush with the top of the foam.The lens adapter is clearly marked as are the lenses. Similar to SLR lenses there is a white arrow on each lens and a white arrow on the lens adapter so they can be quickly locked into place. This design works well.I tried this on my iPhone 11 Pro max and the lens adapter was extremely tight. I felt like I was going to damage the screen, or the glass lens cover on the back of the phone while putting it on and taking it off, it made me very nervous. In fact, after inserting and removing it about 10 times the protective rubber coating on the lens adapter began to peel a little bit on the edges. After a while, the round rubber pad over the adjustment screw fell off completely. Other than it being too thin for my phone, the adapter is well constructed. I am assuming if you use this on a thinner phone you will not have these issues.The 2x lens added no value as the iPhone eleven has a built in 2x lens but it does give a quality picture at a 2x level. I compared it to the built-in lens on the 11 and the picture quality and zoom strength was equivalent. I had no issue aligning the lens to get a good picture. The lens itself does not interfere with the photo in any way.The same for the .6x wide angle lens. The iPhone 11 Pro has a built-in .5x wide angle lens. This compared equally as well and gave an exceptional picture quality.The macro lens was amazing. The iPhone does not have this feature. I was able to get some really close up shots with incredible clarity. I attached a photo of my Mac keyboard to show how close and how detailed the photo is.I had to remove the case for my phone to get the lens adapter to fit at all, and like I said, on the 11 this was still a tight fit. The lens adds weight to the top of the phone making it much more difficult to hold steady. The weight of the adapter is 15g. The weight of the 2x telephoto lens is 68g. The weight of the .6x wide angle lens is 55g. The weight of the macro lens is 14g.The weight of my iPhone 11 Pro Max without a case is 232g. Adding the 2x lens and adapter makes it 315g (36% increase in weight). Since the lens is at the top of the phone, holding the phone with on hand in the middle is very difficult due to the added weight. Adding in the fact the case was removed making it a little harder to grip I have a dangerous combination. In fact, I almost dropped the phone while testing.In summary I think the lenses are high quality. They do exactly what they claim and have exceptional clarity. The adapter however needs some work, or at this price, the kit should come with at least two different size adapters.

Excellent build
These lenses are very high quality and work well with my iPhone 8. There are two positions on the included screw-on mount that make the fit easily customizable for most cell phones. I have a minimalist low profile case and the mount fits just comfortably over it. I don't believe this would fit over thicker cases. 3/8" (0.38" or 9.8mm) is about as wide as the mount will go.The kit comes in a very nice protective zip up molded case with cutouts that each lens nests in for storage. All lenses have a protective cap for both ends. Each lens is made of durable metal and has good weight. The mount is also metal. The built for all pieces is excellent and the lenses attach to the mount securely.The performance is very good and I get decent results with each lens. I set my phone up on my tripod so that you can see the difference between the lenses at exactly the same distance from my subject. Obviously macro and telephoto would be used for subjects at different distances (telephoto does not show as much aberration on subjects further away) but this demonstrates them side by side.I recommend these lenses as an on-the-go option when you have to travel light and raising your non-professional game. They serve well as back up for a more serious camera and for mocking up shots.

My wife's favorite lenses
My wife enjoys macro photography and this is the second set of lenses she's tried. She says they feel like they are a better quality than her last set. It's great that they each come with lens covers and in a protective case (her last ones did not). She was concerned that the mounting bracket for the lenses would not fit on her Galaxy 9+, but it ended up fitting perfectly.
