This Lens and Tripod attachment for your iPhone lets you zoom in on your target with up to 8x magnification.

The lens features an amazing 246 meters wide field view and it is completely adjustable. No matter how reasonably far or where the objective is, it will sure come into perfect focus and clarity. So if your photography target won’t come anywhere into your iPhone’s effective camera range, simply put on the lens, fix it on the tripod and say cheese!

Compared to common iPhone cases that won’t give much protection under intense circumstances, the iBand is an innovative casing made from an extraordinary material. It is manufactured from a non-Newtonian fluid known as d30 that does not rest to one standard viscosity. This means it does not hold into one condition.
