TheAppWhisperer COVR Shooter Group via Instagram

We’re calling all existing COVR shooters to submit your images to our new Instagram hashtag #Covr_at_theappwhisperer. We will regularly review this hashtag and feature selected images, with links back to the artists page within TheAppWhisperer.

The image that in the opinion of myself is the best image of the month, will receive a prize of a Covr for iPhone 6, worth $79, once the Kickstarter campaign has been successful. You can read more about that and if you’re inclined pledge to help, go here to read more.

The COVR Photo Camera-Lens Case is a U.S. patented protective iPhone case with a built in sliding camera lens which allows anyone who takes pictures with their mobile phone to capture candid moments of the world around them. The COVR Photo mobile phone case is a one off photography tool that helps us make better, more natural – not posed – pictures of friends, family, our children or those we meet in life’s travels and adventures. Through it’s unique design and the high-quality prism which we built directly into the case, COVR frees you to take pictures more easily with one hand and with more subtlety because you can hold your phone in various angles and positions and NOT just in front of your face.
