At the end of November, I found out about the Glif on my favorite iPhone blog (TiPB.com) and immediately noosy sim cutter placed my pre-order. Don’t know what the Glif is you say? Shame on you – I posted an article about it on November 30. My Glif arrived in the mail yesterday, so I thought I’d post my thoughts about it in a review. Here’s some photos of the Glif: The Glif is a simple iPhone 4 noosy china accessory which provides a great deal of unique functionality. As you can see above, it’s primary function is to provide a way to mount an iPhone 4 to a tripod. The iPhone takes very impressive photos, sim cutter micro sim and arguably even better video so for many the capability to mount an iPhone 4 to a tripod is much needed. Simply slide the Glif onto the iPhone – it’s constructed from smooth rubber and won’t scratch or damage your iPhone 4: Here’s a photo of my iPhone 4 mounted horizontally to a small, flexible tripod: It’s also possible to mount the iPhone 4 to the Glif in the vertical position: In both positions, sim to micro sim cutter but Glif functions perfectly as advertised, and is the perfect solution for tripod mounting an iPhone 4. The Glif also provides a very useful secondary function – the capability of tilt mounting the iPhone 4: My primary interest in the Glif was as a photographer/videographer. But the ability of the Glif to act as a stand for the iPhone 4 is iphone sim cutter a really handy feature which will be of even more interest to many than the ability to tripod mount the iPhone 4. It’s great for watching movies and videos “hands free” and I think anyone who has a bluetooth keyboard would love it as well when typing emails and documents. I think this would also be handy for using the iPhone 4′s micro sim cutter video chat capabilities as well. My only problem with the Glif is that it’s form-fitted to the iPhone 4 and offers no options for using the Glif with an iPhone 4 that’s in a case. I have a very thin, clear plastic case on my iPhone 4 (one of the thinnest I’ve ever seen) which basically just keeps the glass back from getting scratched up, and could not fit my iPhone 4 in the Glif with the case on. That means anytime I want to ipad keyboards use the Glif with my iPhone 4, I first must remove the case – and that’s inconvenient. The great thing about using the iPhone for pictures and videos is the convenience factor. Your iPhone 4 is always near by. The Glif would be so much better if it were somehow adjustable so I didn’t have stop and take the case off my iPhone 4. If I were ipad stylus the makers of Glif, I’d even think about making a special case which works in conjunction with the Glif. The inability to use the Glif with a case is a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things, and something I’m sure they’ll overcome with the next version of the product.
