The NewerTech iSesamo steel pry tool simplifies the tricky task of opening iPods, iPhones and other gadgets.

Instructions are included for opening some devices. In most situations, just insert the tip of the flexible steel blade into the seam of the device and then widen the cover from the back to unlock the clips.Once you have your device open, it's simple to replace batteries (also sold at NewerTech) and do other simple repairs.www.newertech.com, $9.99Camera lenses for iPhonesFisheye, macro and wide-angle lenses are included in the Olloclip lens attachment for iPhones.IPhoneographers will love the choices, which can be changed in seconds. The wide-angle lens doubles your viewing angle. The macro lens's focal distance is 6 inches. The fisheye will give you about a 180-degree field of view.The lens snaps on and off the iPhone 4 or 4S in seconds. Beware that it might not fit properly if you have a screen protector.I found that the lens worked great for all its functions. An iPhone's camera does have its limitations, but since I always have it on me, a camera is always nearby. Adding the three lenses only makes this better.A cover and a microfiber material case for storage and cleaning are included.olloclip.com, $69.99Tripod mount for iPhonesThe Glif is a great little device for mounting your iPhone 4 or 4S onto a tripod or other photography accessories.The recyclable rubberized plastic adapter is about 3 inches long and snaps onto your phone -- again, beware if you use a screen protector -- and has a standard threaded tripod for easily attaching it to many accessories.It works in both portrait or landscape angles and can also prop up your phone on a flat surface as a movie stand.There's not a lot to this product, but it works great and costs only $20.www.studioneat.com
