Lens Attachement - Droid Incredible Accessories

I don't know if anyone saw it but there was news of this magnetic macro lens being used with the evo (http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/06/review-magnetic-macro-lens-for-htc-evo-4g.html and also on engadget). I found the lens here: http://mobile.brando.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=03578
would this or any other cell phone magnetic lens work with the incredible?
EDIT: OH MY GOD I CAN POST LINKS! (how?)

Have you received your's yet?

I bought the 2x zoom and the macro/wide angle combo listed above. The zoom and wide angle are useless because the effect is so minor but the macro looks pretty cool. My experiences so far mirror the Evo review already posted.

Got mine last week. Works nice enough for 10$ I suppose. The macro lens is the real reason to grab it though.

Nexus One Dimensions: 119mm x 59.8mm x 11.5mm
HD2 Dimensions: 120.5mm x 67mm x 11mm
Seems like that would be a REALLY TIGHT fit -- how much stretch can you get out of neoprene??
I'm looking for an armband for the EVO and am having an even trickier time finding one that fits...
EVO Dimensions: 122mm x 66mm x 13mm
If you find one that works, please post back!!

Aquaflex Cases - Best looking case I've found!

Saw another good looking case off of eBay and it's called the Aquaflex case for the Incredible 2. The most interesting part about this case is the two-tone design it has on the back. It really compliments well the contoured back cover of the Incredible S / 2.
eBay Link
That actually books pretty awesome. Thank for the share!

Looks good, now time to find it in my country.
Thanks for the tip, I like it! For those in the US, I found a good deal on them at daydeal.com (including free shipping).
(PS - Just providing a tip, I don't vouch for the website in any way!)
I was checking to see if there were any reputable retailers selling this case...
Do NOT google 'aquaflex', at least not at work.
Still no luck finding one in yellow that will ship to my country though

The power button's not too bad, though the volume buttons can be difficult to find. However, that could just be my take, as this is the first time I've used a case like this on one of my phones.

Noreve case

Has anyone got this and could post a few pictures or a mini review please. I couldnt seem to find a review anywhere, maybe its too new. The pictures on the official Noreve site werent that informative. Any help appreciated. Cheers
I ordered it on the 26th but they still haven't shipped it, once I get it I'll be sure to post a few pictures though. I got a mail a few days after I ordered it saying that the demand for the case is relatively high and that they will ship it out within the next 7-10 working days. Here's hoping it'll happen sooner though...

Hey there, that would be really good. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. Didnt want to pull the trigger on it too quickly as its around 80euros depending on what colour you choose.

Hey, have you got the case yet?
I am very curious what you think of it.
I got the case today, will update with pictures later (I'm at work right now). First impressions: The case looks nice (mostly), though I can see the glue which holds the parts together in some places. The spacing around the N10 isn't uniform all around the case, there are some gaps, and it looks like the steel claw which holds the lower corners of the tablet (in landscape orientation) are a bit bent out of shape so all in all the tablet doesn't sit in there as nicely as I would like it to. The case does have a magnet which turns the tablet off/on.
Another concern I have with the case is the design with the steel claws itself, I'm worried that my N10 might get scratches on it when inserting/removing it from the case, but I'm not sure about that because I never had this kind of case before. Maybe someone with more experience can weigh in on that?
EDIT: Here are the pictures, the case does look quite nice and the leather is good quality too:
However, there are also aspects which are less nice, like the spacing around the tablet (look at the top-right-hand corner):
And this is what happens at the bottom two corners, the tablet doesn't sit flush with the case (the case is deep enough but the corner radii don't seem to be quite large enough, so you can push the tablet in):
Here's the glue I was talking about:
TL;DR Nice case, but don't get it if you're OCD about this kind of stuff. I am, so I might send an e-mail to the people at Norêve and see if they think that this warrants an exchange/refund.

my dicota case for my N10

this is the dicota business folio 10, its a universal case for 10 inch tablets. its a german company and i only found 1 website that sells it that actualy ships to north america. This isn't your typical mass produced not so great quality case that probly won't last too long. I have not seen any reviews, customer images or videos of this folio case on the internet yet.
this is very good case, you can tell that the moment you touch its very good quality leather material. I know that case will last for a long time.
this case has no magnets on it anywhere which I what I wanted.
here are a bunch of pics
few more pics
Thats nice but it would be pretty annoying to unzip it evrry time you want your nexus 10 imo

Looks really good! Could you make some pictures with the tablet in it?

[Review] Samsung Camera Lens Cover

The Samsung S7/S7 Edge are both great phones that pack one of my favorite smartphone cameras to date. When I first read about the announced prior to MWC, I was excited to see a first party camera lens accessory especially coming from Samsung. For those of you that don’t know Samsung makes some fairly good mirrorless camera’s which is why I was excited to see their R&D going into this set up. Although it took Samsung a few months to release the Lens Cover in a few select markets that are not the US, I am still happy that I was able to get one. The seller I bought it from stated that Samsung was only letting retailers buy limited quantities because they are not producing a huge number of these which further explains the limited availability. I really hope Samsung takes this set up seriously in the future and continues to make a lens cover perhaps with more options in the future.
Unboxing
https://youtu.be/hrJ85uaA_-M
In the box you will find a case, wide angle lens, telephoto lens, and a nifty carry case for both lenses. The case is plastic, with a felt lining, but before you dismiss the plastic looking leather Samsung made it feel just like their Note 3 back panel. If you remember what that feels like it has a “soft leather/rubber” texture that is pleasant to hold.
The carrying container is made out of a plastic like rubbery feeling material as well, but I wish they made the covers easier to snap on and off. Both lenses fit perfectly inside the case as you would expect, and it keeps them from getting scratched.
Each lens is very well made out of aluminum that has a semi-polished finish to it. I have no doubt these lenses will hold up to the test of time, although I’m not sure I can say the same for the case. While the lenses are metal, the case has plastic threads which concerns me. I wish Samsung used a stronger material for the threads so it won’t wear out over time if you plan on using the case often. I am going to send Samsung an email about that to see if their warranty would cover wear/tear on the case threads. Other than that small issue I think everything is very well made.
Case
On the case you will find cutouts for all of the buttons, as well as a fully open bottom for whatever reason: I don’t particularly care because I’m not going to keep my phone in this case unless I plan on using the lenses. One nice little feature Samsung added to the case was a very small (cannot emphasize that enough) grip toward the bottom. This reminds me of a DSLR grip, but it really doesn’t do much to be perfectly honest; I would much rather have a bulky LG G5 camera module hump on the case to give you real grip since looks don’t matter. Seriously look how massive the telephoto lens is, then tell me if you care about an ergonomic grip being added to the case. I would not care given functionality over looks especially for photography. Samsung also added a very minimal lip so you can lay your phone face down without scratching the screen. It’s the little things that matter, and Samsung seems to hit the nail on the head everywhere but the case threading material.
Pictures
I’ve been toying with both lenses all day despite the typical horrible weather here in Pennsylvania. Since today was windy like most summer days, I found it difficult to shoot good pictures via the telephoto lens as I planned. I posted some samples in the later pages of this OP for people to view, but I will add more as I take them. I really like the magnification you get via the telephoto lens, yet it is not without issues. The phone will not focus at distances closer than it did without the lens in fact it might even need a little more room to focus with the telephoto lens installed. I also noticed that it has issues focusing in general on small objects with this particular lens. Samsung could correct this by adding a setting to the camera app to account for the additional zoom, but I don’t think they will. Everything else about this lens is fantastic including the versatility it gives you when shooting your normal pictures.
Telephoto
As I move onto the wide angle lens I wanted to mention how I’ve never really been a fan of wide angle lenses in general, but I’ll do my best to be objective. With this lens you get a much larger field of view as you might expect, and it really does add a nice bit of extra view-able scene to the picture. With any lens you will get distortion closer to the edges of the picture, but these can be cropped out if you so desire. I found the wide angle lens to be a great little addition that I plan on using often even though I was not a fan of them before. All of the wide angle pictures came out looking great no matter where I shot them.
Update [6/12]:
I've noticed some focusing issues while using the telephoto lens (you can't zoom in/get closer to an object that normal i.e. no macro shots with it). Other than that small hindrance (if you want to call it that), I've been enjoying using this lens for the past couple of weeks.
Telephoto Samples
Telephoto 2
Wide Angle
I wouldn’t expect DSLR quality pictures from this phone even with the additional lenses, but you can expect much more versatility, and better quality for different scenarios. I would buy this case again in a second if it was offered for another phone with an equally capable camera despite the few small issues I’ve come across so far. This set up is a first (at least that I’ve seen excluding Sony’s odd set up), so don’t expect pure perfection. The quality of the lenses, and pictures is far superior to any 3rd party accessory you will find, plus this is made specifically for the S7 Edge.

Bottom Line
If you love photography, and the camera on this phone I cannot recommend this case enough, buy one!
[/SIZE]
I'd say go for it if you're into photography. I wouldn't get it personally because I don't really go out or do a whole lot outside of my home. Here's an article with some more information on it, but I still don't see any pricing. Depending on the price, I'd say you're better off getting a smaller/compact camera, but if the actual user reviews of this phone's camera are just as awesome as the ones in reviews and by Sammy, it might be a good investment if it can take pictures near DSLR quality.

I'm still going to buy it because it's a nice option to have. I have a DSLR which a phone will never match for many reasons when used properly. I still think Samsung has a good concept with their lens system.
here is a story i found with a few pics.

I read through that, but it doesn't say too much that we don't already know. I updated the OP with a leak on the pricing, so we will see what happens.

Mobilefun in Canada has it up for pre-order with a 2-3 week ETA. It costs $116.99 + $20 for shipping since they require tracking and that's the only method with it. At that price I think it's worth it assuming they are at ast decent quality lenses. I've seen Samsung list it on their website outside of the US only so we might not get it here without importing it which is unfortunate. Currently Samsung's Swiss site has it being released during week 19 this year aka May 9-15th which more or less fits mobilefun's launch window.
Just a FYI I have the case on order and it should be here in the next week or so. You can expect a detailed review when I get it

MobileFun here's the link for you: http://www.mobilefun.com/58340-official-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-lens-cover-black.htm
It's pricey with the mandated express shipping, but then again no OEM accessory is cheap. I really hope it's worth the money because I've been looking forward to it since it was announced.

Not a problem! It says they're due in stock within 1 week; let's hope that's the case! Samsung's Swiss online store has them listed as being in stock during the 2nd week in May so it's entirely possible that they will be out next week in North American. I still doubt any US retailer will carry them in a timely manner if at all due to how obscure of an accessory it is. Samsung also hasn't said much about it, so they either don't want to sell a lot of them, or hope they will sell themselves.
My estimated ship date is 5/3 did they give you one?

Same, I was starting to get the feeling that Samsung wasn't going to ever release it until someone PM'd me a link to it earlier this month. I've seen it on Samsung's website but that's about it (not their US one implying it won't launch here)
I'm really hoping that date is accurate since it does match Samsung's posted one on their Swiss site more or less as I mentioned; let's hope for the best!
I thought this would sell a little better or at least garner more interest given that it's an OEM accessory meaning it should be high quality give Samsung's fairly good mirrorless cameras

That's the reason I'm getting it. I'm hopeful the quality is good, better than those after market kits. I got Samsung's OEM leather case and I'm happy with the quality so I really hope the camera lense case is better because the price is 4 times the price of this leather case
