Do you have an iPhone and wish this supposed wonder phone would put more wonder into its camera? When Instagram isn't enough, slot an olloclip 3-in-1 lens system over the corner of the phone, covering the camera lens.


It's the size of a flash drive, and uses precision optics to give your phone camera true wide-angle, macro and fisheye capability, rather than the semblance of these provided by some apps.

It works with the phone's basic camera app and integrates with third party apps, in both video and still mode. it's available for the iPhone 4 and 5, and is the ideal accessory for someone who has abandoned stand-alone digital cameras, but yearns for their quality on the phone.
