The big news that recently came down from Olloclip is that they are going to be offering a Quick-Flip Case for iPhone 4/4S/5 and iPod Touch. This case is built to protect your iPhone while making it easy to change the Olloclip Lens when a photo opportunity presents itself. Even more exciting is the photography functionality this case adds…

The case also comes with a detachable Pro-Photo adapter for mounting your iPhone to a tripod in portrait or landscape. The adapter also has a cold shoe bracket for attaching microphones, lights and other accessories. Finally, the rotating corner becomes a dedicated shutter button for quickly snapping photos.

The Quick-Flip Case retails for $50 but for a limited time, Olloclip is offering two exclusive deals:

Quick-Flip case and Pro-Photo adapter for just $40 (Reg. $50)
Olloclip 3-in-1 lens system and the Quick-Flip Case and Pro-Photo adapter for just $90 (Reg. $120)
