New Products: Phone Case Improves Camera Quality

Although it’s handy to have a camera built into a phone, the quality, not to mention the shooting options, aren’t always that impressive. To the rescue is a case with four optical lenses that improve the iPhone’s shooting abilities. Equipped with three rotating lenses, the iZZi Orbit Pro case can help capture photos with artsy Fisheye special effects, wide-angle views and a 2X zoom shots. Twist off the wide-angle lens to reveal a fourth option: A macro lens for up-close images. Made of aircraft-grade aluminum, the case includes a stabilizing grip to minimize blurry images and three tripod mounts to accommodate different shooting angles. Available in black, blue, purple, red and silver, the case ships with a protective sleeve, a wrist lanyard and a microfiber cloth. A case for the iPhone 4/4S or the iPhone 5 can be purchased for about $190.Sony’s SRS-BTS50 portable Bluetooth speaker
