Turn your iPhone into a Digital SLR camera... sortof

We usually write about products you can buy, but the iPhone4 Photography Kit is a concept that's on the drawing board, waiting for your support at Kickstarter.com.  The kit is a slider case in three parts, plus an optional neckstrap.  The left and right parts slide together and are sealed by a locking ring.  The end result looks like a digital SLR with the ring resembling the camera lens.  Actual photos are still taken with the iPhone 4's built-in camera.  White and black are planned with potentially five additional colors if the project takes off.

It's a neat concept that you could own for just $30, as long as enough like-minded individuals kick-in at kickstarter.com.  The neckstrap alone is a nice touch, considering the iPhone 4 has no slot for even a wriststrap and neither do most cases.  When combined with an app like Camera+ or SkinCam (my own app... full disclosure), you could have a nice setup for the amateur photographer!  After all, the best camera is the one you have with you, and this concept is a way to make sure that iPhone 4 is always handy.
