Japanese reveal steampunkalicious iPhone case with interchangeable lenses
Pick your weapon.
(Credit: HighSnobiety)You can find plenty of iPhone applications that use software to create effects for the built-in camera, but the Quattro iPhone 3G Case, made by Japanese company Factron, is one of the first hardware add-ons to actually mount an aftermarket lens onto the front of the phone.
The case itself is made of aircraft grade duralumin for durability and a sexy polished-silver finish. The backside of the case is covered with supple calf leather for the highest in dead-animal quality, but the external lenses are the real stars and include fish-eyes, macros, wide angles, superwide conversions, and more. Put them together and the case and lenses turn your iPhone into a futuristic Victorian steampunk Transformer.
The Quattro case sells for $200 on the Factron Web site, and unfortunately you have to shell out even more for each custom lens.
