As one grows older, one's vision deteriorates and creates issues, reading small print in particular. The smart phones, being what they are in today's life, are especially nasty to older people with poor vision. Reading so small characters for any length of time gives your eyesight significant stress. This was the reason I hoped this magnifier device would offer me a significant help. In a way it did. But I expected more for the money. As a simple optical instrument it suffers from a very narrow filed of view, meaning your eyes have to be above the center of the magnifier looking down at a right angle to see the non-distorted image. Any deviation from this focal position stretches and distorts the image. The device feels cheap and flimsy. I does help me with the reading of the fine print with less stress to my eyesight but I expected better.

I was amazed to see this pop up on my Amazon Vine recommendations page, since I literally was just telling someone about a similar invention idea.Looking at the other reviews it seems as though some folks may have set their expectations way to high... What do you expect from something like this, for it to be virtually identical to the viewing experience of a LCD screen? I went into this with low expectations and was surprisingly impressed.The design is very simple and intuitive to use. There are instructions included (see photo), but I feel as though the design is straightforward enough that most people will have no issues.I can see this being used in a variety of ways, it could be used to show photos to folks with bad eyesight. It could also be used for watching movies away from home. Granted, your movie experience will be a little weird, but if the goal is to simply watch whatever it is on your phone, than this product should suffice.I cannot see how anyone could set this up in such a way where it would appear as a tv screen. But yet again, this is not an issue if you know what to expect...TL;DR Basically a big magnifying glass with a phone holder situated behind it. Works better than I expected!

Used this during a power outage and I was shocked to find that our smart phone screen had become the size of a tablet. The clarity was really good, and since it doesn't require power, this may be the easiest way to turn your phone into a movie screen without a separate monitor,TV or power source!

Yes, it worked to magnify, but it looks a little like those big, bulky projection TVs from the 80’s. A little disappointed, but simple to use.

This screen magnifier is definitely not what I was expecting. It only works well from a specific viewing angle— anything off-center causes the image to stretch and distort. Even at its best angle (from my POV), the image is quality is still poor, and the screen size is definitely smaller than advertised, making it less effective than expected.

This magnifier is not bad all things considered. I do like the way the 20" screen can slide into a protective sleeve and it folds up after pulling it out. It has the pull tab as well. The mini kick stands on each side to elevate the platform giving a better viewing angle is a nice touch. There's a bezel that you raise to support the phone. It's difficult to view from the side. The screen is also not totally clear. It has a ribbed pattern to it and you've got to watch the screen from the middle straight on to get the full effect. I got this for my dad whose vision is worsening and he is always squinting with his head tilted down. Better ergonomics for sure and he doesn't have to strain when using it. The materials used are not top quality though.
