Here’s an interesting accessory for anyone who’s not satisfied with his/her mobile phone’s camera. Thanks to the magnetic mount lenses, you can improve your phone’s camera functionality by adding any of the three lenses available: Wide Angle Lens, Fish Eye Lens or Marco Lens.

These lenses can be simply attached to the back of the phone (yap, it works with the iPhone as well) without making the device look too bulky. The exception is the iPhone 3G, which, because of its plastic back needs a self-adhesive ring with a magnet affixed to the area around the camera. That’s also provided in the box, along with lenses and a keychain strap. Best of all, the magnetic lenses cost only $17 and can also work with some notebook computers and digital cameras. USBfever have them in stock, so you may want to check them out…
