Can anyone who has actually bought these verify that these are made from glass and metal, not plastic and plastic? Thanks sincerely!

The frame feels and looks like powder-coated aluminum. As to whether the lens is glass or plastic, I can't tell.

The frame is a powder coated metal, I did a scratch test. The weight of each lens indicates they are glass, no I did not do a scratch test on the lens. I have found them extremely useful and I use an extension tube to protect my camera lens. The close-lens mounts to the end of the extension tude and does not travel with the lens itself. I have no problem using one lens at a time, but had a problem with distortion when I used the +4 and +10 together, The distortion would probably not happen if they were attached directly to your main lens.

They are glass lens and metal frame, but be careful, once you scratch it, you'll have to get another one.

Yes, they are made of plastic. I haven't tried them out yet, but they seem solid!

It does not state on the package anywhere. I would assume that they are. They seem to be made of durable plastic.

They are not clear plastic (looking like glass) but they are very transparent, not just opaque white. I hope that clarifies it.

They are plastic, but they seem to be pretty darn strong. I haven't had an issue out of mine yet, and I'm pretty hard on 'em.

So these are not rubber, and they are not considered plastic. They are made of polyurethane.Thank you.

No they are no metal, they are mostly plastic. They fell apart! Some of them as we took them out of the container.

They are in plastic which is dark colored. I think this is a vast improvement over the glass. Been ordering this product for years. Hope you enjoy as much as me. Good Luck.

They are definitely all glass, not sure if tempered though. They definitely are not plastic.

They are not glass they are in plastic tubes although they are not flexible to the extent to make an "S" shape but you can accommodate them good i have these installed for a few months now and they are awesome just make sure you use some heavier duty zip ties to help reinforce good luck!

Are these truly glass, or acrylic? if they are acrylic, they'll discolor. What's the REAL DEAL HERE?

They are plastic, and they hold up well. I wasn't sure I wanted plastic, but they work great.

They look metal and upon further investigation, they are 'metalized plastic'. They look good though and seem to hold up well.

I received mine on approximately 1/30/15 and they were not glass. I received two packages of them so I know it wasn't just a mix-up in the shipping as both were plastic.
