Photography-Grade Smartphone Cases

The ExoLens Case with Optics by ZEISS is Debuting at CES 2017

The ExoLens Case is a new smartphone case from ExoLens that adds a professional camera lens onto one's iPhone while also giving it the protection that one expects from a phone case. It comes with optics by ZEISS mobile photography, assuring that every picture snapped on an iPhone is as optimal as if it were taken on a DSLR camera.

ExoLens has released a lens adapter in the past -- the ExoLens PRO -- but that product merely attached a lens to the preexisting iPhone camera. With a high-quality lens attached to one's already valuable phone, extra protection was the logical next step. The ExoLens Case takes on that evolution, providing not only quality images but also valuable peace of mind.
