I decided to purchase this item right before the recent solar Eclipse. I have always enjoyed any unique events that take place with the sky and the items in it and this seemed like it would be a good way to experience the eclipse.I am so glad that I purchased it! While it was nice to look through the window made for your eyes to look through, the section for the camera was astounding.I decided to not attach the thin velcro to the viewer as I didn't want to stick the other half on my phone case and then have to get sticky residue off afterwards. I did not find it at all hard to hold my phone flat against the card so that the camera lenses were in the window as I held the handle section. I was then able to use my free hand to play with zooming the image and clicking the photo and video button.The only issue I had was that my arms started to get tired after a bit, but if I had a camera/phone mount to hold the phone in place that would have helped.As you can see by a few of the pictures I posted, the phone camera was able to take lovely shots through the window. You could see sun spots and the quality did not diminish once the eclipse was past and the entirety if the sun was photographed. That adds to the use of this item as any type of sun photography is possible, beyond just an eclipse.Overall, I feel this was well worth the money and I would not hesitate to buy it again, and I have already shared links to this product to family members and friends.W in VA 5.0 of 5 stars
In preparation for the 2024 solar eclipse, I did some tests holding my iPhone 13 Pro up to the lens of a pair of solar glasses and thought it could be better. After doing a bit of research on how best to photograph the eclipse with my iPhone, I read about an iPhone app called Solar Snap that allows users to bypass the iPhone's built-in camera app which tends to become confused when taking photos of the sun.
At the last minute, I ordered a four pack of these SafeShot Solar Eclipse Viewers. I'm really glad I did. Attaching the Velcro was not an issue and it held my iPhone in place securely. I shared the extra SafeShots with my family and friends so they could all capture the moment. The SafeShot combined with Solar Snap got me some really nice photos of the eclipse that I'll cherish forever as a reminder of one of nature's totally awesome events.Nicole 5.0 of 5 stars
The SafeShot™ Solar Eclipse Viewer was our go-to gadget for safely viewing the Great American Solar Eclipse while recording with my smartphone. It provided convenient eye protection and ensured I didn't miss a moment of the cosmic spectacle. With its reliable performance, it made witnessing the eclipse a breeze, leaving us with unforgettable memories and stunning photos. If you missed out, don't worry—there's always the next eclipse!E.

I love that I was able to use my phone and see the eclipse through this viewer. After I got my phone going, I actually didn’t use the view box much, I just watched my phone screen. But, the large card helped to shield my eyes if I looked away, so that was nice. I had the paper glasses too, but they wouldn’t stay in place unless I held them. This worked much better! The adhesive worried me at first, not sure how sticky it would be and how hard it would be to get off my phone. Super easy to take off, but super grippy while I needed it to hold on. It was like Velcro, so I could let a friend borrow my card for their phone for a bit. They just held their phone tight to the card, and it worked like a charm.
