There are a lot of different lens attachments for the iPhone. From fisheye to 360-degree panoramics, the options are wide, but you still have to actually take the lens attachment off the phone to switch to another. Apparently, the folks at hipster camera company Holga thought that was just a bit too much work, so they created a case with a spinning lens attachment, so you can dial up the effects without ever taking off the case.Holga is known for creating simple, inexpensive toy cameras that embrace an old-school vibe, yielding photographs with blur, vignetting, light leaks, and other distortions that most consider undesirable. It has developed a cult following, though, and many consider those “flaws” to add to the artistic flavor of the cameras.
This iPhone case continues the Holga’s retro ideal, with a rotary dial reminiscent of an old-fashioned phone, with nine different lens filters. There’s a macro lens, red and green filters, yellow and blue filters with clear centers, a red filter with a clear heart-shaped center, and dual, triple, and quadruple image lenses. And, for those rare moments when you actually just want to take a normal photo with your phone, there’s also an empty hole.
