[INFO] How to get amazing macro shots - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I just read up on this on some random website that I cant remember, so I decided to try this.
Basically what it is is putting a small drop of water on the camera lens. Not so much that you damage the phone, but just enough to cover the entire lens (it took me a while to figure out how to do this)
This is the result (My HTC one x's screen)
This blew my mind when I saw how close i could zoom in
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Try it and post some pictures!

My phone wont appreciate that.

Here's a link to a product that does something similar that WON'T run the risk of damaging our phones

Detachable macro lens?

Being a "new user" (lurker) I can't post a link :thumbdown: but the brand is BrainyTrade sold in Amazon . com/dp/B005C3CSXC/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Does anybody know if it would work with our phone?
The description says it should work with any camera phone, (and the lens has to be smaller than 9.5mm) but I wanted to know if somebody has tried it on the t989, or other similar phone.
Thanks.

It's only 8 bucks, why not try it? I might. I'm a bit of a shutterbug, I have a camera but my phone is much better so I might just pick up one of these myself.
I had one for my Nexus one.
Here is a sample pic i took with it:

Camera Zoom Lens

I've came through an interesting article at Pocketables where a macro lens is used to capture pics with a S2 and the results are definitely great.
Here : http://www.pocketables.com/2012/07/from-the-diy-drawer-30mm-macro-lens-test-photos.html
My question is : Has anyone used such type of lens on the Note?
I've found this on ebay :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Magneti...738610?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c649f8bb2
This is for the iphone though but seems intriguing - 100x and 60x zoom!! :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/60x-Microsc..._Foto_Camcorder_Teleskope&hash=item1e6f26564e
I am also interested in those! Gonna buy that telescope for note and test it. Unless someone did it already
Im using this one. Cheap (2$) and universal use. Worked on every phone I tried so far. Here is a pic I made directly after I got it:

Anyone know if it will be possible to obtain the white back cover for this phone as seen here:

LOL
aha
Thanks for the obvious answer mister obvious. I want to order the back cover itself since the form factor aside from the SIM slot should fit a sprint model, thus me being able to replace the back cover I have now.
Was just wondering if anyone may know where to get the "spare part" of the white back cover.

where i can buy "pelican" case?

like this one

I want this too!

Looks like a cheap knock off case... considering they list Samsung Galaxy S and not Samsung Galaxy S3.
But I would start here.

i found this article
http://androidcommunity.com/pelican...s-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-hands-on-20130111/
On second thought after using Google and the terms Pelican galaxy s3 case. (Novel idea I know) but I found this.

Seems to be April May time frame. And if the pictures are the final design they covered up the LED notification light. Also having to take screws out to take the case off would be a pain.

finally i found way to talk with the company (facebook) they said that the case come out in april/may
seems to be a nice one very strong and waterproof and very slim not like otterbox or trident
i will buy one and post some photos :good:

YSK: The Nexus 5 sits nicely in an old Droid 1 stand

I'll probably get a Qi charger eventually, but this works well in the meantime. It doesn't detect the stand as a stand, sadly, but it's still a handy spot to put it. Crappy pics taken with my Droid 1.

Wow, well, thats an idea! I've got one flying around from my old Milestone 2, it even has the removable inlay to use it with cases, so it should have space enough for using it with my Nexus 5 with a case on.
As soon as I'm home, I'll try it out, let's see, probably going to re-life this old thing
