mirror\/ mirror: make front mounted camera

[mainebob]

Ok, my droid does not have a front mounted camera. How about two small rectangle mirrors mounted at 90 degrees with one edge of mirror touching just below
the phone camera lens... and with some simple holder, it could turn phone into a front facing non reversed camera (2 mirrors -- like a periscope.)

Has anyone constructed this? Seems like it could be a simple product accessory that could world for multiple phones.

Well? Anyone

ummmm, or just turn the phone around...

do you really want to walk around with a phone that has mirrors glued to it in your pocket?

I found this thing called iSnapMe. It's made for iphones but it may work for other phones. It does cost $20 though.It works by having two mirrors and suction cups that attach the device to the back of your phone. I think they may fit on the Droid
It's at isnapme.com. I didn't buy one, I just happen to find it after doing a bunch of google searches. It would be nice to use this with my droid on Fring.

Ok, and NO,.... Sure I can turn the phone around and some phones like the new iPhone 4 have front and rear cameras.... If you are doing vid conferencing then a front facing camera is necessary so you can see the other party and the postage stamp of yourself...

Thanks for this link... I have sent an email to their
CService to see if they have reports of this working for
the Droid... Seems to be the only product out there...

I also wonder if the flash is also reflected correctly.

I just got this reply from Brian at isnapme.com

Thanks so much for reaching out! Unfortunately, we designed our product for the iPhone; it won't work on the HTC Droid Incredible. However, it's always possible that we will extend the product line. Join us on facebook to track any updates....

Is there anyone else interested it this type of accessory?

I've contacted both Vainworks and iSnapMe and they only work with a camera on the back side of the phone not in the middle of the back. So neither the iSnapMe or the Vainworks Stand will work with my phones. I need something like these 2 items but that will work for the Garminfone and the Comet from T-Mobile. Does anyone know of anyone who makes such a device, if you do please email with the information to daveporterii@gmail.com. Thank you for any information that you can provide.
