The Polaroid Snap is a new take on the company's iconic instant photo printing technology. Instead of the easily recognizable square photos with the big white border, the Snap uses a landscape layout with 2-by-3 inch photos, which you can also save to a microSD card if you'd rather not print them out right away. It's a neat new camera for a whole new generation of young photographers, and we've compiled some of the best Polaroid Snap accessories to help take your experience to the next level.
The paper you'll need
Until 3D printers are small enough to attach to today's best instant cameras, you'll still need some paper if you want to print out your photos. You need Polaroid Premium ZINK Paper for your Snap. This bundle includes 50 sheets of 2"x3" paper to get you started. You can also pick up packs of 20 sheets if you tend not to print much.
Store all the memories
Instant printing with your Polaroid Snap is incredible, but sometimes you want to share your photos online. For that, you'll need a memory card. The Transcend 32GB microSD has plenty of space for your pictures and is super reliable. At this price, you can buy a few cards and tuck them away in your camera bag.
Protect your investment
You put a case on your phone and should do likewise with your Polaroid Snap. This slender EVA hard case from Polaroid is one of the best travel cases for the Polaroid Snap. It fits your camera like a glove, protecting it against drops, spills, and scratches. It comes in few colors and has a loop attachment so you can wear it around your neck and carry it over your wrist.
Spice up your photos
If you miss that iconic Polaroid border around photos, this border sticker pack lets you add it back for next to nothing. You'll get a box of 100 easy-to-use stickers that perfectly frame pictures, add a decorative touch, and give you a space to write personal notes.
