CNIB SmartLife: Introducing Case for Vision (Evening)
Case for Vision is an iPhone 15 Pro case with a twist: it has legs that fold out so you can put it on a desk and use it as a stand magnifier, and an angled lens you can point at a wall to zoom in on whiteboards or anything else at a distance. Case for Vision also does a great job protecting your phone, too. The Case for Vision (Daytime) workshop happens Wednesday, November 13 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Zoom.
