The last camera attachment we covered was one of the most ridiculous devices ever featured on BGR, but the Snappgrip from BiteMyApple.co actually looks like a reasonable companion for mobile photography. The Snappgrip is a small device that can snap right to your iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s with an included case. The device features every camera control you could possibly need, from an authentic shutter button to a tripod mount and all the shooting modes and zoom capabilities that appear on a standalone camera.

The device was funded on Kickstarter in January of 2013, and is finally available for preorder to those who missed out on the campaign. The developers have also created a mandatory companion app to make use of the Snappgrip, but the team is “working to provide [the] API to app developers to embed in their own photography apps.” If you’d like to turn your iPhone into a camera, the Snappgrip can be your for $69.99 at the end of March.
