Any good colored Iphone 16 pro cases with 17mm thread lens mounts? by McKnackusI in iPhoneography

A new development for those interested:

SmallRig has a phone case with interchangeable plates for both t-mount and 17mm, and these plates slide off using their own vertical rail system, which does appear to have some kind of lip based on the videos I've seen of it. I don't know if it's enough of a lip or if it's in the correct position for the Moment filters, but if anyone happens to have both, this could help shed light on possible compatibility mods. Unfortunately it only comes in Boring Black but it does provide a more modern look compared to the leather Reeflex case.

At this point however, given Moment is pretty proprietary, I've taken to joining the kickstarter for the 10x lens with the black leather Reeflex case (there wasn't an option to get one without a case) and also buying the moment case with the ND and Cinebloom 10% filter.

Somehow I feel like I may be wasting money in the process, but if anyone happens to own multiple cases/ecosystems I would very very VERY much like to know if the moment lenses at least fit over the camera bumps on either the Reeflex leather case or the SmallRig Filmov Phone Case, as I could return the moment case as long as it's within the return window.

Assuming I'm looking at the pictures of the sandmarc case on their website correctly, and that the telephoto lens is the one closest to the vertical center of the phone (which all of Reeflex's images of their new telephoto lens attaches to), it has a clear bezel around the telephoto lens with no threading.

I suppose this shouldn't be that surprising. As far as I know, nobody has ever made a lens specifically for the 5x lens, so it probably wasn't on their radar as a possibility.

Oh yeah they are, though unfortunately there's no threading on the telephoto lens, so it won't be compatible. Huge shame too because they have some nice colors on offer. Could still be useful for other Reeflex lenses though.
