The iPhone 12 camera is good, but there's always room for improvement. There are loads of cool accessories and cases that can bring your iPhone photography to the next level. Here we've found the best iPhone 12 photography cases and accessories to enhance iPhone-captured images in a variety of different ways.
Top quality
Sandmarc makes high-end photography accessories for smartphones and cameras, including photography cases, interchangeable lenses, and filters. This kit includes a dedicated photography case, drama filter, macro lens, telephoto lens, and a lens clip.
The original
Moment is the most established brand in iPhone photography accessories, and their photography cases were some of the first ever made for iPhone. The new MagSafe Photography Case is compatible with any of the Moment M-series lenses. It also uses MagSafe technology to work with various Moment mounts and tripods.
Most versatile
While it's not a case per se, the JOBY GorillaPod is an amazing accessory for creating videos with the iPhone 12. It works as a tripod, lighting system, and microphone all in one multifunctional unit. The flexible arms and mounts can be used in various ways, making this the most versatile accessory on our list.
Clip on, clip off
For a quicker alternative to a photography case, Shuttermoon makes clip-on lenses that you can attach over your iPhone 12 camera to enhance photos. This kit includes a telephoto, fisheye, macro, polarized, and wide lens that are all interchangeable with the clip-on system.
Best for underwater photography
Now here's the case for all you scuba divers out there. SeaLife's Scuba Case houses your iPhone 12 against pressure and moisture for dives up to 130 feet deep. This is the perfect solution for deep underwater photography and film.
#YesFilter
If you thought Instagram invented the photo filter, then maybe it's time you tried the real thing. Photography filters have been around for ages, but the real deal is much more impressive. LiteChaser Pro brings us this kit that includes both a photography case and three different interchangeable filters to enhance photography and film.
Built-in Ring Light
Ring lights have become a go-to for vloggers, influencers, and Instagrammers who need to create good lighting on the go. This case from Orda takes the guesswork out of the selfie with a built-in ring light that you can use on either side.
Best stabilizing mount
If you're taking videos or photos on the run, a stabilizer is a must-have. The Osmo Mobile 3 Gimbal doubles as both a stabilizer and a tripod for all your iPhone photography and video needs.
Get clicking
If you're ready to take your point-and-click beyond the ordinary, one of the best iPhone 12 photography cases or accessories will be necessary. Our fave is the Sandmarc Photography Kit because it includes a variety of tools to make your photos better, including both photography lenses and cases. This one also includes a drama filter, so you can try out a physical filter for a change.
If you're more into taking videos on the go, then a multifunctional tripod is an absolute must. The JOBY GorillaPod Mobile Vlogging Kit is a flexible tripod, and it also includes both a microphone and a light so your videos will look and sound amazing. Have a good think about what kind of photography or videography you plan to do, and then choose your accessories accordingly.
