Some good, some not so
As a keen photographer, I have polarising filters for other cameras but not for my phone. As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you, and often that is my phone. The camera quality was one reason why I upgraded to an iPhone 14 pro so I was keen to try this with my phone.
In the package, you receive a clip with a 52mm threaded mount, a 52mm CPL filter, a cleaning cloth and a case to keep them in.
I like everything except the clip. I always keep my phone in a case but the clip will not attach satisfactorily to the iPhone 14 pro when it is in a case. It clips on at an awkward angle, the back of the clip obscures important UI elements of the camera app and a large amount of the frame is visible if you use the wide-angle lens.
The polarising filter works perfectly, most notably in removing reflections on water. I wish I had had it when I was trying to photograph wildlife underwater a couple of months ago.
The microfibre cloth is a good lens cloth.
The case is a nice solid box but is quite bulky and confusingly is not quite tall enough to shut properly with the lens clip inside.
The lens clip does fit on the phone better when it is not in a case although the back of it still obscures UI elements on the screen. However, I don't want to walk around with my phone out of its case nor remove it every time I want to use the filter.
I'm now looking for alternative options such as a case with a threaded mount built into it.
At £14.99 I think the price is OK but it is probably better suited to phones with smaller camera bumps.
