    Ali, do you have the cell phone lenses? What do you think of them? Which one would be good for better everyday photos?

      Yep. Please tell everyone it will not work with a case on. I rarely use mine too :-(

      I have the macro and the wide angle Jen and love the macro. It is so exciting getting SOOOOO close to everyday stuff. Sometimes the results are magical. I confess, though, that I use them only occasionally because i have to take the case off my phone to attach them.

      I don't yet - they are on my personal list :).

      Dissapointing to hear the lenses don't play nice with cases! It is implied on the site that they do :( I also saw what looks to be the same thing listed on Amazon for something like $18.99 (they come up when searching photojojo lens on amazon) and I am wondering if they are the same?

    Yes, please! I'll take one of each! Seriously fun ideas. I'm thinking that canvas strap needs to find it's way under my tree :)

    Just checked out the slide & film scanner - doesn't have the greatest reviews. Most talk about poor image quality. Do you personally have this scanner?

      PS. It also does a great job scanning historic photos. My parent's loaded it up in the box, took it to Minnesota with my mom's laptop and spent about 3 days scanning the old family photos that my aunt was keeping in her basement.

      Hi Jeanette - I don't have it but love the idea.

      @Jeanette, my family found the same poor image quality reviews with these types of scanners when we were looking for a slide scanner for my dad a few years ago. We ended up going with an HP flatbed photo scanner that comes with an adapter that allows you to scan up to 16 slides at a time, to individual images. It's the HP Scanjet G4050 Photo Scanner. We've been happy with the results. Check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/HP-SCANJET-G4050-L1957A-Scanjet-G4050-Photo-Scanner/dp/B000LZIGIC

    I just got an olloclip for my iphone with fish eye, wide angle and macro lenses. Haven't played with it very much but the few pictures I did take with the lenses, I really liked! Zoom lens for my phone is next!

    I've been waiting for a link to the camera bag/purses that you had on your blog a while back. Do you not love it any more or is there another reason it's not listed?

    Ali, thanks for the Image3D link! I've been looking for an unique gift idea for my husband, and this brings it! We're both 50, and we have our original Viewmasters from childhood. And plus with all the photos I've been taking lately, this just fits the bill...for Bill. Thanks so much!
