Cameras used to be a posh extra on only the most high-end cell phones, but we’ve come to expect our mobile phones to also be able to shoot photos worthy of uploading and distribution.

No matter how good your camera phone is, you can benefit from Photojojo’s glass cell phone lenses. The lenses attach magnetically to any cell phone with a camera and come in fisheye, macro/wide angle and telephoto.

The best part about these lenses is that you can get all three for only $49.

The teensy little add-ons attach to your camera with an adhesive magnet ring you carefully stick around your phone’s camera lens.

When you’re ready to take a jaw-dropping photo of what you’re eating for lunch or the weird haircut sitting in front of you in class, you just pop the lens onto the magnetic ring and snap away.

I don’t think you’ll want to send these back after you try them, but just in case, Photojojo has an excellent return policy and has created a reputation of remarkable customer service.
