The pic.me case from Mini-mal is an outstanding accessory for the iPhone 4. The main feature of the case is the adjustable arm that rotates and locks into 19 different positions, giving you a wide array of viewing angles.
Mini-mal has designed the pic.me case so that all the functions on the iPhone 4 are enhanced. Self-portraits become easier to take and videos can be viewed without having to find a makeshift stand. Mini-mal has added much more functionality to the device with very little extra bulk.
With the pic.me case still in its prototype stages, the only sample you can see of the piece is in an SLA model, which had been painted black. The final versions will be constructed out of polycarbonate and be given clean, sleek looks.
