Due to popular demand we’ve added a white version of our Clarifi case.
Clarifi is a protective case with built-in close-up lens for iPhone 3G and 3GS.
Here’s a quote we love from The Mobile Experience: Hands down, I am very excited and happy with this case. It is by far, the coolest case I’ve ever seen.
Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.
We encourage you to share your photos in the Flickr group too.
Are you ready to deposit checks with your iPhone? A mid-sized bank, USAA, has released the first iPhone app that can scan and deposit checks. In the demo below you can see how you simply snap a shot of the check and hit the send button.
The original post from Matt Marshall on DigitalBeat wrote:
The feature requires a customer to photograph both sides of the check with the phone’s camera. All you’ll need is a cellular connection to send the image.
Once you send the images, you no longer need the paper check — you can simply discard it. USAA’s system takes over. The company has been developing a mobile strategy for some time: Three years ago, the bank introduced the option of depositing a check from home using a scanner. USAA plans to offer the feature on other phones later this year, according to the Times.
ZDNet’s Matthew Miller was also kind enough to remind his readers that our Clarifi case will be the perfect accessory for folks trying to snap a clear shot of their checks.
This updated iPhone application should be a faster and simpler solution than having to scan in the check’s front and back though and I look forward to trying it out.
The iPhone and iPhone 3G do not take very good close up photos so I wonder if an iPhone 3GS is required to use this service. You could also use a Clarifi case from Griffin Technology that I have used before with Evernote to take better close up photos.
What about you? If your bank makes this available will you deposit checks using your iPhone?
If you own a Clarifi, you already know that the quality of your close up shots are greatly improved. Clarifi even scored an A- on iLounge!
There are plenty of uses for Clarifi to be used in conjunction with popular iPhone apps such as Evernote (for text recognition) and Snappr (for bar-code scanning).
What’s very cool is that many people are now sharing their photos in a Flickr group. I’ve created a little slideshow below to have a look at the incredible macro-like images that folks are uploading. Have you any shots to share? We’d love to see them.
We’re happy to be providing five lucky winners with Clarifi cases in iPhoneography’s Easter Photography Contest. iPhoneography will be judging your photographs capturing Easter. Be quick like a bunny to enter.
Good luck to everyone who enters. We’re looking forward to seeing the photos.
We’ve teamed up with our friends at Evernote to give away ten Clarifi iPhone 3G cases each week during March. Evernote is an award winning service that lets you upload images to it’s servers. Then you can search the images later using their cool text recognition function.
Picture yourself on a flight returning from a conference. You would normally be dreading the notion of having to enter each business card manually in your address book. Using Clarifi’s built-in close-up lens, you can easily snap clear shots of the cards then upload them to Evernote once you’re back on the ground.
Using Evernote, you can quickly search your contacts from the images of the cards. It even recognizes text in logos.
To be entered in the giveaway, simply add the hashtag #EvernoteClarifiGiveaway in a tweet on Twitter. Evernote will randomly select 10 winners each week. It’s that easy! We’re posting the videos on our Facebook fan page, so have a peak to see if you’ve won. Good luck.
