New iPhone 5 Case Offers Quick Fix for Purple Lens Problem

If Apple's "solution" doesn't work.

If Apple's solution for the iPhone 5's "purple lens flare" problem—wherein photos taken outdoors during daytime resulted in images with a purple tint—wasn't good enough for you, we've got another solution. IPhone case maker, Fotodiox, has developed thecamHoodie, a case which it claims eliminates the unwanted filter from photos taken with the iPhone 5. 

The camHoodie is a simply modified case that doubles as a hood for your phone's lens. The lens hood is a piece of rubber that keeps stray light from coming in and altering your photos. Above, you can see a photo Fotodiox says it took using an iPhone 5 without a camHoodie and one it says it took using an iPhone 5 with a camHoodie. Do you notice the difference? If so, you can pick one up today from the Fotodiox website for $24.95.
