Take photos on the sly with the new Covr case for the Apple iPhone
The Covr is a case for the Apple iPhone 5s and Apple iPhone 5, that allows you to use a one-handed grip to snap photographs using the phone, on the sly. The case was developed by a former photojournalist, so you know there were times when he wished that he could snap a picture without anyone knowing. In fact, the way that the Covr case is designed, it will look like you're merely playing a game or reading a text on the phone, while in reality you are taking (embarrassing?) pictures of your subject.
You're probably wondering how this works, and we shall tell you. Using a prism lens inside the case, you can hold your iPhone like a torch (not the BlackBerry Torch) or a remote control unit, and still be able to snap away. The Covr case is now being funded on Kickstarter where $28,755 has been raised. With 28 days left, there is a long way to go to reach the $80,000 target. The lowest amount you can send to receive a Covr is $55, which includes a case in either black or white, and a free iOS app.
