Anyone who has attempted to scan QR codes with the iPhone has encountered the phone’s huge weakness: the pathetic camera. Low resolution aside, the lack of an auto-focus/ability to take macro shots makes reading 2d bar codes nearly impossible.
Griffin has attempted to solve this problem by developing the Clarifi, a slick iPhone case that includes a slidable lens for close-up shots. At $35, it seems like a great deal–you get a better lens and a case, all in one package. According to Griffin’s website, you can snap pictures a mere 4 inches from the subject (the typical lens limitation is 18 inches).
