Don't try fitting this into your pocket. The giant lens on this case is meant for extreme closeups, not for all-day use.

Fitting the case to the phone helps keep the lens stable.

I briefly tested the macro lens manually, but you could also mount the phone to a tripod for even more control.

Versions of this case come for the 5.1-inch S7, left, and 5.5-inch S7 Edge.

All power, this thick, plastic case will charge your phone -- wirelessly. That means you won't have to wrestle it into the charging prong.

Flip covers illuminate the time and date, plus message alerts, when you close the flap.
