Despite how big an iPhone fan that I am, I will be the first to admit that the built-in camera leaves something to be desired. Sure, it is usually good enough, but it could be improved upon. That said, most of the products that aim to improve the camera are bulky and not always ideal to carry around. The latest camera tool comes in the form of a kit from USBfever and seems to have solved that issue.
I should point out that I have not tested these personally, and honestly they still seem a little silly, but given the fact they are able to be easily added and removed make them seem a little nicer than some alternatives. Additionally, the lenses are made from aluminum and real glass. The one drawback is that the lens is attached to a magnetic ring, which has to be stuck to your iPhone. Otherwise, these may give that little edge you need to get a slightly more enjoyable camera experience. Of course, it should also be noted that it would be nice if Apple were to actually improve the built-in camera at some point.
There are three kits available, which gives you a choice between a wide-angle lens, 2x telephoto lens or a fish-eye lens. The kits all retail for $16.99 and come with a lens, plastic lens cover, keychain strap and a detachable magnetic ring.

These good great! I may have to buy one if them. Or wait until someone else does and then reviews it.
