I previously have professed my love for Evernote as a way to unclutter my life. One of the nice features of Evernote is its cross-platform support. I use Evernote on my iPhone to take photographs of notes, business cards, and even wine labels. The iPhone isn’t ideal for this, as its camera doesn’t have autofocus, and is not designed to take clear photographs of text at close range. To address this, I purchased the Griffin Clarifi iPhone case. Read on for my take on the Clarifi, using the Griffin Elan iPhone case as a point of reference.
What makes the Clarifi different from other cases is the lens on the rear, that slides over the iPhone camera lens. The Clarifi lens acts as a magnifying lens of sorts, making most text much more legible. The lens slides with the touch of a finger to cover or uncover the iPhone lens. I had read other reviews that complained that the lens would slide on its own, but I haven’t experienced that problem. There is plenty of friction, at least on mine, that prevents the lens from sliding until I want to slide it.
