I'm not sure where to buy the lenses in China. Would these work?

I wonder if these would work http://www.aliexpress.com/item/LED-44-5mm-convex-lens-optica...

They look close. I need something in Australia.

That thing on tabao looks so geeky, I am not sure which is worse the cardboard or the plastic.:)

Yeah, I don't know what the purpose is of the cardboard device on taobao. The logos are for online video services, so maybe it's so you can watch stuff on a small screen but make it feel like you're in a cinema :)

In case it's useful for anyone else:

- Ceramic magnet 20mm x 3mm: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=18786950677

Obviously, I only just ordered these so I have no idea whether these items will turn out to be suitable.
