The age of Instagram and the selfie has spurred on more than a few photo-enhancing smartphone accessories, yet many of them focus specifically on the quality of the image instead of the process leading up to snapping it; enter the Moment iPhone Case. Created by Marc Barros of Moment Lens, the Moment iPhone Case addresses some of the missing features of the smartphone.
First of all, it provides a reinforced aluminum bar for attaching a camera strap, allowing the phone to be more readily accessible at a moment's notice. Yet the key feature of the Moment iPhone Case is its "multi-state shutter button that works with a companion app to offer DSLR-like half-press focus and exposure lock," writes Uncrate. It works perfectly with the Moment Lens as well.
