This just arrived in the mail from Hong Kong (via usbfever.com): You can either just hold it up to your cameraphone’s camera or use the included metal rings (with tape) to attach it magnetically to your phone: Here’s a shot taken with the iPhone normally: Here’s the wide angle lens attachment: and the fisheye lens…
