DISCLAIMER: I am only a photography newbie with only less than 1 year of photograph experience and currently only owns a Canon EOS 550D (Entry-Level APSC size sensor). Nevertheless, I will try my best to review this project for iphoneography enthusiasts.
Introduction/Specifications
Taken from the website: "The olloclip is a quick-connect lens solution for the iPhone that includes fisheye, wide-angle and macro lenses in one small, convenient package that easily fits in your pocket. Nestled in the palm of your hand, the olloclip connects to the iPhone within seconds so you’ll be sure to capture the image you want."
Macro Lens: The Macro lens applies roughly a 10X multiplier and allows you to focus the iPhone within 12-15mm of the subject. The Macro lens is cleverly concealed within the olloclip and can be accessed by unscrewing the Wide-Angle lens that is normally attached to it.
Fisheye lens: The Fisheye lens captures approximately a 180 Degree field-of-view and produces some striking images.
Wide-Angle lens: The Wide-Angle lens is great for when you need that extra field of view, approximately double that of the normal iPhone.

How did I come across this product:
I was thinking about DSLR lenses when I though of lenses for smartphones too. I searched the web as usual and found out that they were actually many lenses made available for smartphones. Photojojo offers similar lenses but I came across a kick-starter project called 'Olloclip'. It allowed iPhone 4/S users to clip onto their phones and the optical quality can easily surpassed similar products to its detailed design and manufacturing.
Where to purchase:
I purchased it from eBay because it was sold brand-new at a cheaper price than the retail price off the Olloclip official website. The Olloclip official website is by far the most reliable form of purchase currently due to the various OEMs products and China imitations. I personally bought a fake product off a blog few months ago at $25. Fortunately, it was not a big loss and I learnt my lesson.
I bought it from a reliable seller at around $50 from USA and received my product around 2 weeks later un-touched.
Price:
On the Olloclip official website, it is priced at $69.99 USD.
With shipping: $69.99 + $5/$8 = $74.99/$78.99
Convert to SGD = $94.22/$99.24
However, with some scouting on the eBay section, I'm sure you'll be able to snatch them at a cheaper price.
Unboxing
It came nicely packaged in a box as seen below.
This is the picture of the actual product itself.
It also came with a mini Olloclip pouch and an iPod Touch 4th Generation adapter (can be used on a iPod 4 with this).
