Ever tried taking a picture with your iPhone at night? Not pretty results. Well the folks over at the product labs at Quirky have been hard at work on an iPhone case, with a flash.
The Beamer is a hard plastic case with a built in LED flash that turns on at the push of a button. It comes in a bunch of colors including just plain black for the traditionalists out there.
Best of all, because it is on Quirky, you can take a look back at the design process. I am a fan of leafing through the discarded product names. There are 245 in all.
Not into paying the man? Though I would argue that Quirky is about as far from that as you can get. But for the independent types, here’s a DIY version. It’s not nearly as pretty as the Beemer, and you need to know your way around small electronics wirering and LED lights… but hey.
For the rest of us there’s the Beamer. The case is still in the pre-order status on Quirky, but over 300 of the 500 people needed have committed to buy one, so it looks like this one is going to be a go. And for $32 it would make a great christmas present.
