Having an iPhone case is one thing but with the XShot iPhone Case, you get a bonus in the form of a tripod mount. Apparently this was designed for the iPhone and the iPod Touch considering we have been seeing a lot of mini stands that aim to aid iPhone owners in watching videos without having to worry about where to rest them on. Additionally, as mobile devices start to become the alternative for digital cameras, this universal tripod feature adds more stability in capturing pictures via iPhones and ensure that you are included in the shot as well.

The XShot iPhone Case retails for $29.95 and will be available by November. Pre-orders will be taken starting October 14 where you can enjoy a $10 off. The XShot Camera Extender and the iPhone Case can also be purchased together as a special bundle for $44.95 - a savings of $14.95.
