Griffin Clarifi iPhone Case Review

Usage

Just like all iPhone cases from Griffin all of the buttons and connectors are exposed so you don’t have to worry about taking the case off when syncing your phone or using the headphones. One thing that is also very cool about this case is the bottom piece comes off. This way if you are using an iPod speaker system or something similar you don’t have to take the case completely off, just the bottom piece.

So how does the lens work? Just go ahead and slide it over and take a close up picture. To see if the lens really made a difference I took a picture of the back of my business card without the lens and then one with the lens. As you can see there is a big difference in quality. The pictures below are resized, but you can take a look at both full images here.

The lens really makes taking close up photos easy and makes them clearer and more visible. Since you are able to take such high quality close up photos you can use iPhone apps like Snappr that allows you to take a picture of any barcode on a product and get instant listings for it online. Also you can use the Clarifi with programs like Evernote to capture business cards or other information.

Final Thoughts

This iPhone case is very different from other cases and adds a unique feature in the close up lens. The lens isn’t a simple junk lens either, it actually does the job it is made to do and very well. I would have liked to see the lens actually stay in place though, I found myself having to hold it in place so it wouldn’t move when I was using it. The case looks good and provides great protection for your iPhone. It is also very simple to install and use.

Right now you can get the Clarifi from Griffin for $30.99 which is a little more expensive than other cases, but remember you are getting the close up lens and the case is designed so the bottom can slide off and you can dock the iPhone with speakers or something similar. Overall ThinkComputers give the Griffin Clarifi iPhone Case a 9 out of 10 score.
