Pros: It works and works very well,zooms quite far and is very clear.
I have the first gen Iphone and it fit like a glove.
The price is fair compared to others I've seen
Cons: As I expected before even ordering the litte plastic c clip that holds the lens on broke off as soon as I put it in my pocket,I knew it would happen why I did it anyway I don't know.
There is nothing to hold the lens in when you slide it on,just gravity.
Other Thoughts: I wish I had this at a few concerts I was at It would have been great. Also great for ball games.
Bottomline: It works great you just have to not only remove the lens when you're done,you also have to remove the phone from the case or risk breaking is like I did.

Pros: quality of zoom is good
price is good
Cons: case does not fit my phone
clip for holding the lens broke as soon as i used it.
Other Thoughts: Rating this product isnt worth while as the fact that it broke as soon as i used it makes any pro and con ratings irrelevant. im very dissapointed with deal extreme. my experience with them until now has been good and this has damaged my trust in them
Bottomline: this would have been good if it hadnt broken within 30 seconds of using it. the case doesnt clip to the the iphone 3g. id avoid this until a better quality version is released
Great Zoom Device

Pros: The zoom is pretty incredible. I can go from a whole room photo to a single face.
It does include the plastic case which could cost more money on it's own than the case+lens.
It has a dual function, you can flip the lens around and look through it and it makes a pretty decent pocket microscope!
Or use it as a "telescope" with your iPhone or, just by looking through the iPiece (eye piece ;-) )
Cons: As noted, the lens can fall out of the clip easily. Also, the clip design means you can get light shining into the iphone lens form the side causing lens flares. I find a finger on top holds the lens in place and blocks the light. A bit of black tape would do the same job.
You do need a lot of light to get a good photo and a good sturdy phone mount. However, adding a tripod to the mix would probably just make it look even more ridiculous.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: It's cheap cheerful and does what it says. If you want quality photos, go spend a few hundred on a proper digital camera. If you want a toy for your iPhone that looks quite ridiculous, get one of these.
