Moko Ultra Skim Case-Lightbleed Issues

Moko Ultra Skim Case-Lightbleed Issues - Nexus 9 Accessories

I bought the Moko case to be an inexpensive stop gap case for my naked Nexus 9 until I find a premium heavier duty case worth the money. I'm fairly satisfied by the build quality of the case, except that it seems to be slightly too tight. While you can rest assured that your tablet will not fall out of the case, it seems that the case is SO tight that it exacerbates the minimal light bleeding that my Nexus has. While the light bleeding is still minimal enough that it is not an annoyance, I am now worried that the tightness of the Moko Case will warp my tablet and permanently damage the screen or some other part. Does anyone share a similar experience or concern?

I had the Moko slim on my N9 for about two weeks and yes it made the light bleed much worse. My IVSO slim finally arrived and after a couple days the bleed appears to be back to normal and only slight again. Not as premium feeling as the moko but didn't feel safe leaving it on.

Yeah, I got a moko but it's too tight and the lightbleed becomes really bad when the tablet is in teh case. It also "twists" the tablet a bit so the screen gets brighter on one side, which is pretty noticeable at night wathing movies/tvseries...
I'll probably buy an ivso or a poetic to replace it, depending on which has better reviews.

Diztronic tpu review!

So my flat black tpu case by Diztronic came today and let me tell you it is hands down better than anything out there and I could not be more pleased. I am comparing this to the Rearth slim case I was using and before that I also had the Ebay S line case for a couple days and while that case is also tpu, it is truly ghetto compared to this Diztronic. The fit is perfect and while buttons are covered there is still little effort needed to push them unlike many tpu cases. The feel of the case on the phone is also on the premium side and the matte black back does not attract fingerprints either. The other great feature about this case is the slightly raised lip going around the screen which is just right for anyone wanting to play music/put their phone face down. All of this is had with virtually no added bulk either. I highly recommend this case and know you will be happy with it.

Pics?

There are pics on the website that are sufficient

those does not look good . Could you post pics of your N4 with that case?

Um... well sure. But, part of the appeal of any product "review" is to see how it functions in the field--so to speak.

It definitely looks better than the "S" TPU case, but does it offer more protection in your opinion.
It seems from your pics the lips on the front are higher than the ones on the "S"?

How good is the fit? would you say it's tight? Does the case come off easily?

Looks good, might still purchase this, although it looks exactly the same as the I-Blason case I have on my N4 already.

Hows the call quality? People complained about the official N4 bumper ruining the microphone quality so I'm wondering if it happens with this too.
I have one of these on order myself.

Would you say the Diztronic is significantly better than the Ringke Rearth Slim case? I've got the Ringke case and it doesn't fit as tight as it could around the volume rocker, too much play for my liking. Also my girlfriend hates how the four corners stick up a little from the screen (to protect the screen if its face down) she says they poke her in the ear on phone calls... Wish I had bought two of the Diztronic cases now

I don't have a case at all and I have to position the phone in a certain position on my face for anyone to hear me as it is. If a case or bumper further negates from the call quality I am going to have to pass. Even though I already ordered this and it should be here soon.

1. The call quality is not affected I already had two calls with the case on and it sounds great.
2. The lip is raised a bit more than the S case but not overly done, it will not bother you at all
3. This case feels very good on the phone, it is easy to get off it your actually trying to take it off other that that there is no annoying flex from the tpu or anything like the cheap ones (S case)
4. This is much better that the rearth slim because having this on gives me the feeling of better protecting just by how it feels in the hand and protects the entire bezel which a slim case does not do.
I may order the Diztronic shell case when that come out next week too
I think the stock bumper is stupid anyways

Haven't tried any other case for the nexus 4.but this diztronic case is easily the highest quality tpu I've ever used... Feels great. Love it.

it's definitely not the same as the i-blason case. I have two i-blason and the diztronic. the diztronic is sooo much better. i used to use their case on my gnex. very good quality.

Got my case yesterday. It fits nicely, has a good feel and looks pretty good too. Doesn't really add much bulk. The seams on 2 corners on the other hand seem a bit shoddy and looks like it might peel away over time. Curious to know if anyone else's case is like that too. Will contact Diztronic and see what they say.

I'm debating whether I should purchase this case in black or the smoke color

Just received mine as well, and YES THIS IS THE BEST CASE OUT THERE FOR THE N4 IMO
in every aspect, design, feel, protection this case is definitely the best, glad I bought this case.

Just got one. Great looking case and real nice feel. My XtremeGuard screen protector peels a bit on the corners. Any suggestions on screen protectors that wouldn't have this issue?

I would get the black one, I also thought about the smoke color since it allows you to see the nexus logo on the back which is pretty attractive. But the Distronic logo kinda overlayed the LG logo and that's a no-no for me. But since Distronic has a no-hassle free return policy, you can always return it if you're not satisfied with your purchase.

Review of Four Different Cases

Okay guys I'll start this off by saying that I am not impressed with the current case selection for this phone. Now, let's begin with the review.
1.The first case I'll start with will be my Rearth Ringke Fusion hybrid case. I loved this case to death when I first received it on the same day I got my phone, and it has been my favorite case since I got my new one (more on that in a minute ). It feels great in the hand, as it's completely ergonomically similar to the phone itself, and the button feedback is a dream. The clear plastic back has much to be desired, however. The plastic smudges, smears and attracts fingerprints like no other. It also is slippery. VERY slippery. Keep in mind that I have hands that are almost always moist in some form or fashion, so the back plastic of this thing felt like butter. All in all, a very good case and I highly recommend it, except for those with moist hands!
2. Next is my replica Google official bumper. (Replica is perfectly identical to the actual one.) I bought this bumper in conjunction with a carbon fiber dbrand skin, (I still have that on, props to dbrand for making the best skin in the world!) and I was honestly a little disappointed. The stippled texture that bands the sides and sandwiches the fake aluminum plastic piece together feels amazing in the hand. My moist sweaty hands had no problems gripping this bumper, except for the fake aluminum plastic piece that I just mentioned. It's not totally matte, but it's not totally glossy either, it's an odd mixture that feels great to touch, but for me it was a tad slick. It wasn't nearly as bad as the Ringke Fusion case but it was enough for me to take it off sometimes. The buttons clicked with pride and although it did add quite a bit of width to the phone, it had an awesome fitment, no flex or peeling of materials found on this bumper! I would still definitely recommend this case despite the negatives.
3. The other day, (Friday), I received my Mercury TPU case (black), and boy let me tell you something. My hands promptly said NOPE right when I got it on the phone. For some reason I must've been on some crazy drug and bought the thing thinking that it would be some grippy, sticky rubber case. WRONG. All I'm going to say on this one is, misaligned speaker and microphone cutouts, super slippery and the finish on the face of the skin where you see it almost all the time has an orange peel look to it, almost like a ZAGG screen protector. However, the sparkles on the back really made me want to play some funky music!
4. Today, (about 15 minutes before I wrote this), I got my Ringke Slim case in the mail. One complaint: I got an older version, the one with the loose volume slot, but it's not a big deal as I can't really hear any creaking. Other than that minor mishap, for the fifteen minutes I've been using this thin case, and it is EXTREMELY thin, I'm proud to say that this is my favorite case thus far. The matte finish has a soft-touch coating on it that feels like heaven, the button cutouts and speaker, mic cutouts are spot on and without flaws. Most people don't notice it, but this case actually has four little feet on the screen side on the case that allows you to set the phone on it's face and not get the screen scratched. Nice!
The complete lack of top coverage is nice FOR ME because I can finally put my ATH-M50's in my phone without having to remove the case! :good:
Keep in mind that the Slim is a totally different case than the other three, most similar to the bumper however.

4. http://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-4-ringke-slim-case

I've been in search of a case i'll actually like. Been thinking about getting the ringke slim but i'm just afraid of the lack of protection. I've never dropped my n4 but for that one time that i do, it'll be great to have the protection.
I also have the ringke fusion, it's a nice case but the back gets dirty and gross pretty easy. The official bumper just feels bulky and my headphones don't fit.

got my Ringke Slim 4 days after i got my n4, had the official bumper ordered with the phone but it just made it too bulky for my taste.
Had my ringke the rest of the time and never looked back. it IS the best case i've ever used on a phone. this comiing from a person who doesnt like to put cases on phone but with this phone just wanted that extra protection. its very slim and doesnt add any bulk what so ever. going on 6 months with the slim and still rocking it.

I own three of the four cases that op reviewed. Exactly my same thoughts for the most part. Pretty well done review. Kudos. Although I would be semi cautious about the official bumper as its known to cracking on the bottom of the usb port. The slim is a really nice case but if covering the back isn't your thing then it isn't the case for you.

I would be tempted to request another one, mine is an absolute perfect fit with all the cut outs being in the correct places. Regarding its slippyness after a couple of days use it starts to get more grippy.
Out of the 4 cases i have bought for the Nexus 4 this is the only one i have kept lol
The Rinke Slim i had was the worst of the lot, made my phone really slippy and offered zero protection.

Honestly I'm surprised there aren't more people using/reviewing the Acase Superleggera pro. I've tried a hatful of cases and by far the Acase is perfect for me. The only complaint that people have for it is that it's bulky, but for me that's a pro. I want my pocket to feel slightly heavy (like 40 grams more than the phone?) to know that my phone is still there, and then I can avoid those mini heart attacks that you get when you think you've lost your phone.
The protection is the best out there,it looks great, isn't slippery at all, feels premium in your hand, button feedback is excellent, not too much of a fingerprint magnet and doesn't interfere with my screen protector.
The only downside is that the back isn't transparent but you get over that initial fascination of showing off the back soon anyway.

I like the Acase pretty well. The amount of lint that it picks up bothers me more than anything. I think it would be nice if the inner case was a light - medium grey, so the lint is less apparent. I have the Mercury, Superleggera, Ringke Slim, and Poetic bumper. I change them out all of the time because I'm not completely satisfied with any of them.

since you have protection on the back and you are using the Rinke slim which is made to fit precisely, do you feel like it is adding too much pressure to the phone? I have a feeling that may have happened to mine and when i squeeze the top part of my phone it creaks. I'm not sure if this was the cause, but if yours has zero creaks then I will assume it is safe to have the skin on the back along with the case.

I ordered one of these yesterday after reading many reviews. Looks like the best bang for the buck and some decent drop protection, which many of the other cases don't have. I also like the fact that the measurements have it only slightly more bulky than the Diztronics case I have, so it will fit in my leather holster perfectly.

I bought a Minisuit (transparent) for protection when going camping, beach, or a very wet day. And I also bought the Poetic bumper. The minisuit is great, the only problem is that the power button sometimes is hard to press. With the Poetic I had problems with the first unit they send me, it broke in a week. I called poetic and they replaced the bumper with (2) new ones, they told me that they had problems with the first batch they ordered, but they assured me that the new one was perfect, today it's been 4 months since I'm using the Poetic and I can say is been great, no pealing, no plastic coming off, and I still have a replacement new one just in case.

I got a white color of ringke slim case. the material is too slippery. never like it. plus the corners feel really sharp by touching it it may scratch my N4.
I ordered Incipio feather case. It may not be slim as ringke but it feels really good.

The king of ultra slim cases is actually NOT Spigen as I initially thought... RINGKE!

So as many of you waiting for your pre-orders last week I went ahead and looked for an ultra slim case for everyday use. Spigen seemed to be a household name and went ahead and bought their Ultra Fit for $10:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I3ULRZG
I was satisfied with it, matte white, fit perfect and snug, protected the back camera and sensors when placed on a table, nothing to complain about. I had thrown out the screen cover because the cut outs were not precise at all, in fact there was no cut out for the upper sensors, only for the home button. Why would i ruin front camera quality with the screen protector over it? yuck.
I then came across Ringke Slim. I have never heard of them before but judging by their high number of reviews, it seemed that they were well versed as well in the case game. at this time i also wanted to get an electric blue case because i got tired of plain white super quick. Also, the screen protector actually had the PERFECT cut out for all sensors and front camera. This was super impressive to me and I gladly put it on even though I don't care much for screen covers in general. This is what i ordered for $9 including shipping:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IPKHP64
Well i received it today and WOW it was made of a far superior plastic. It wasn't because it was thicker but it felt very different. it felt more denser, less paper like. i compared tapping each and the Spigen was very "airy" felt cheap and very "hollow" (best way i could describe it). The sides were completely covered as opposed open which isn't a bad thing but it did feel more complete as a case. Cut outs were perfect as well and charging hasn't been a problem. I quickly realized the Spigen case is actually not as great as I thought now that I had something to really compare it to. I started seeing on the Spigen where the plastic was punched out of the mold (check picture).
Anyways enough talk here's the pictures:
http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....jpg?key=nBsLK_haY5suFrjdcOa0hA&ts=1397604778
And the gallery plus the Spigen white case for comparison. Notice the inside of the Spigen, wasn't even spray painted completely most likely because they used a clamp to spin it while spraying

As you can tell Ringke > Spigen in the affordable ultra slim case category.

Agreed, i bought both through amazon, and while i didnt care to use any of the screen protectors the Ringke is MUCH better and really sleek looking. Material kind of feels like the back of the phone and even looks like the back. Only downside is i hate trying to get the freaking waterproof flap out at night! Grrrr

I too have this case and am liking it.
It is hard to hook your fingernail to get the charging flap open although I assume most cases will be similar.

Ok...I'll jump aboard. I bought two cases before I got the S5 in my hands. One was the Ringke and the other was the Spigen Tough Armor.
While the Tough Armor is a very solid case and looks great, it makes the S5 feel like a brick in my hands. On the other hand, the Ringke Slim has a similar texture and gripability as the S5 naked. It doesn't even feel like the device has a case on it at all.

Nice! Defo would give Spigen a run for its money! Great to see competition here and there. At the end, we, the consumers, would benefit on it. More options, right?

Yea I just orderd 2 new Ringke cases. Ill post em up when they comr in tomorrow

thanks for this review man. Was about to order a spigen case and then saw this and after a little more research i just ordered the ringke. I went with the Dot black, I'll post up some pictures to compare with other colors once it comes in.

I got the DOT black I ordered from their site and got the case plus screen protector for $10 with free shipping

I got this case delivered today.. It is AWESOME and for 5 bucks it was a steal.. I crumbled up the useless screen protector and threw it out
I should have gotten white though, because my phone is white and I got the blue color. It kind of looks funny.. I thought blue and white would look good.
It doesn't

I love that spigen hybrid case, SEXY!! but I went through 3 F-#@[email protected]# plastic sleeves, they always broke on the bottom eventually.

So the screen protector is garbage

I like the case. It feels good in your hand when you hold the phone.
One thing though, on my case the lip around the chrome front trim sides covers more than the lip on the top and bottom. At first I thought I didn't snap it in all the way but it seems like that's just the way it is? Is that how it fits for the rest of you that already have the case?

That's how they all are. Actually I really like this design. It's almost as if its spring loaded, its smaller than our phone, it doesn't just fit like a glove, its actually too small. But the cut outs on the top and bottom allow the plastic to "flex" basically its as if its gripping the hell out of phone, holding into place.
The Spigen hybrid I had for my GS4 was awesome looking, but broke all the time (plastic by the bottom) in anycase, this one is just as nice IMO.
Doesn't add much thickness at all, but will save it from a drop and the camera while on a desk.
If anyone is wondering, I just dunked my phone for 30 minutes with this case. So it doesn't effect the IP68(yea, I said 8, because this thing is pretty much water PROOF) rating.

@chillsen Hey OP, after I read your 1st psot I figured id give it a shot. I've had bad experiences with her cases and the one that you posted a pic of, is the same one I got as well. I got it 3 days ago, and still haven't put it on, in fear it will scratch the outer bezel while putting it on, and taking it off
Have on had this issue at all? Seems like a real snug fit, thought if ask before I pushed my hone into the car lol.... Thanks bud!

i can only say i've had to take the case off and on many times to show off to my friends how thin the actual phone is. i mastered how to take it off by pressing outwards the top left corner. you push it out enough so you can fit a finger through and i just slide it down the side and the whole case pops off. this is the easiest way i found. at first i had a problem because i didn't try a corner but started from the middle of the long side. but to answer your question, no scratches.

I'm 100% sure they are fake. Look at the feedback page, it's full of "Excellent!" and "good quality" multiple times by the same few user accounts.

I just got this delivered today with the white dot pattern. I also ordered the wireless charging back the other day, definitely don't think wireless charging will work with this on - what an idiot I am.

[Q] Poetic Slimline or Moko Ultra Slim?

I've looked at many cases and I've narrowed it down to these two:
http://www.amazon.ca/Nexus-Case-Slimline-Synthetic-Manufacturer/dp/B00O3JA8AQ
http://www.amazon.ca/Google-Nexus-Case-Lightweight-Smart-shell/dp/B00J2QUWTW
Has anyone had hands-on experience with either of these, and can you please tell me your thoughts on them? I've heard good things about the Poetic cover and in Droid-Life's Nexus 7 2013 comparison of the two, the Moko case seemed to not keep shut as well, and the three folds wouldn't magnetically snap into a stand properly. The Poetic case seems better in that regard. However, the Moko case for the Nexus 9 seems to be much revised in design, so I'm wondering if it's much better now. Also, in the pictures the sides look shiny. Are they metal? Or just really shiny plastic? How do they both feel? Hopefully not too plasticky and cheap. About the price, why is the Moko case's original cost so much higher? Is it really worth that much/that much better? Looks almost identical to me.
My main concern is actually just something to cover up the back so the camera won't get scratched. Much like the Nexus 5, these cameras that stick out frustrate me to no end. I don't care at all for drop protection, corners, sides, etc. Overall, all I want is something that can cover front and back (and does it well! so front must stay shut), be as thin as possible, and feels good.

moko ultra slim
The moko ultra slim is too tight and excacerbates light bleeding ( my N9 is not bad in that respect), and since it is hard plastic it can warp the tab and make the issue permanent.Going to try the moko folio next which is leatherette and from past experience stretches to fit the tab just right.

I have the Moko slim one and its pretty nice.
Looking at the Poetic one, it looks like a clone or carbon copy of the Moko one I have. The only difference I can tell is that the cutouts are a bit different.
On the Poetic one, the cutout on the bottom for the MicroUSB are much wider than they need to be, and on the volume/on/off cutout, the angle of the cutout are more right-angeled compared to the the curved cutout on the Moko

Do you happen to be this guy on Reddit ? I haven't heard anyone else complain about this, so I'm wondering if it's just isolated incidents and not something that affects all of these?

How does the moko one feel? Does it feel "premium"? Does the cover stay in place when shut, and does the stand snap into place? Also, do you feel it's too tight and causing light bleeding or warping the tablet like the other guy? Thanks!

Not that guy on reditt and not the only one having problems with it looks like.

It feels pretty good and feels fairly premium but that'll be very subjective. I will tell you that it feels no less premium than holding the tablet bare with no case.
The cover has no issue staying closed if you flip the tablet upside down, but it will open if you give it a shake while you're only hanging onto the backside, but I don't expect this to be an issue under normal use.
When you fold the cover into the triangle position as a stand it stays put pretty well. The magnet in the flap actually magnetically links itself to the other end of the case when in the triangle position so it feels pretty secure.
It doesn't cause any more backlight bleeding compared to without it. The case is pretty tight though when trying to take it out. If you're not careful, it could separate one of the corners of your tablet. This is what happend to me the first time i took it out, but the corner snapped back into place without any issues.

Thanks, I appreciate the answers! I think I've made up my mind to go with the Poetic case, while the Moko one may look slightly better, I don't want to risk it being too tight and damaging anything.

Well, the designs look near identical, so I don't know if the Poetic case will be any different in terms of tightness.

Seconded. I've got a folio case now, but I want something slim. I'm returning the Moko and trying the Poetic.

Nope, that's me. And I can't imagine it's isolated. The build is just too tight.

All the slim cases poetic, moko etc. are exactly the same in terms of design so I doubt one brand is better than other apart from a unit variation in which one case may be less tight than the other. I think given the exact match between then different brands IVSO, poetic and moko they are all made by the same factory in china with different shops' labels to sell on ebay and amazon. Just my $0.02, I would rather get something bulky than risk damage to the tablet.

This is the case with many slim hard plastic cases for phones/tablets including slim cases from big name brands like Spigen and rearth, not just from cheapo brands like poetic, moko, and IVSO.
Partly to blame though is the design of the Nexus 5 and 9 design which has sides that concave outwards which makes it more difficult to remove the case. I had a Rearth slim case for my Nexus 5 that was even harder to take out and separated a corner of my cover as well.

I have the poetic and ivso ones. They are different in subtle but important ways. Poetic is better since the magnets are not exposed in the sides of the case. In the past when exposed the magnets would pull out of the sockets they were glued into. Poetic will not do this.

If the Poetic is anything like the Moko case, which I expect it is, then the magnets on the cover are attracted to the magnets built into the Nexus 9.
I have always thought that it was pretty redundant then that the IVSO has the magnets on the case. However after thinking about it, I can see a benefit of having the magnets on the case itself: It would probably reduce how much the cover shifts around when in the closed position and it probably has a more secure closure. Just a guess.

Do you feel the poetic cover is too tight, like people have said about the Moko one? And what about the IVSO one? I'm not too sure about IVSO (never heard the brand before) but the Amazon reviews seem to be good. Also is the metal thing on the cover any risk to the display? I feel that if I close the lid just slightly off it's going to smash into the display.

Both poetic and ivso are tight but that more likely due to the design of the nexus and its back, which extends slightly past the front. Just have to be very careful removing the case so it doesn't snap the back plate off. I don't like the metallic tab on the ivso... Feel like it could rub and scratch the screen. This is one of the reasons I prefer poetic.

The poetic is nice. I finally got it and it comes on and off pretty easily. Not as easy as the n7, but not bad.

Thank you, and no warping or additional backlight bleed?

I have the moku case and the poetic slimline case . They are identical. I really can't tell any differences at all.

Question ZeroLemon S22 Ultra Battery Case 10000mAh - This thing is HUGE!!!

I recently picked up this 10000mAh Battery Case from ZeroLemon for my S22 Ultra. My jaw dropped as I took it out of the packaging and saw how big this thing is. The Amazon page states that it is as thick as 3 S22 Ultras and yeah, it's pretty close to that.
Aside from its thickness the case feels pretty durable. It comes with a dual layer system, a polycarbonate interior shell covered by a tough exterior skin similar to an Otterbox. It has all the cutouts for the cameras, charger, pen, speaker and microphones. The overlay on the hardware buttons feel a little mushy but have a satisfying "click" when depressed.
As far as protection goes I think it will do a decent job of keeping your S22U from getting jacked up should you drop it while wearing this suit of armor. The corners are well protected as well as the camera. The screen, however, isn't really recessed from the front so a screen protector is definitely recommended. Although the product page on Amazon says that this case is not compatible with a tempered glass screen protector, the one I purchased (AACL) has no issues fitting with this case.
I have been using this for a couple of days now and yet to plug it to recharge. And as far as that goes, you can either use your USB-C cable or a wireless charging pad to charge the battery and your phone simultaneously.
I have been a ZeroLemon fan since the days of the Galaxy SIII and I am so glad they came out with this. It has everything that I am looking for in a battery case but I wish they would have included a belt clip similar to an Otterbox to help lug this thing around. Any one else thinking about or already picked up one of these? If so how are you liking it?

Why not carrying a 10000mAh powerbank and use a normal case?

So what is the total weight of this unit + phone together?

As someone who wants to bicycle to camping spots far away from civilization for about 3-4 days, this would be excellent. And yet, this case wouldn't fit most handlebar mounts. I'm sure the case I have is already pushing it since the phone is already so big (Pelican), these just keep getting bigger.
_________
Also: @mzsquared
Product Weight: 9.45 oz (267g)
Phone weight 229g
= 496g (1.093lbs.)
So more dangerous than 1 brick of butter.

Wow, looks bigger than any previous one's i've used from them.. can it work with the Whitestone Dome screen protector?

This case looks desirable. Some of the product reviews on Amazon say it falsely detects water damage, preventing charging. Is this a problem anyone in this thread has seen?

That thing is an absolute monstrosity. I can't imagine having that in my pocket at the gym. Suspenders would be a necessity.

look like you can kill somebody with it lol

Can someone tell me if this damages the battery? Batteries shouldn't be constantly topped up, so just wondering about that. I have heard about smart battery cases though, so I'm wondering what smart features this has.

It shouldn't. I don't start charging mine until I'm @25% or less. Maybe if you constantly turned it on and charged all the time.

I want to get one too! A have a couple of questions, if you don't mind answering them. Does the case super fast charge the phone? Also, does the case get super fast charged too? Because I normally use the 45W one and I wouldn't like a step down from that one.

There is a belt clip holster available. I purchased two (one as a backup).

Don't you have issues with the ultra wide camera lens?

I am not much of a camera guy. I just take basic pics and haven't taken any ultra wide. So, it has not affected my use.
