Instructables has a great DIY solution for an iPhone Macro Lens that only costs $15 to make.

The instructions were posted by appsman:

When I couldn't find a macro lens for the iPhone 4 that had decent quality for less than $60, I designed a slide-on lens holder that can be printed out at Shapeways: http://www.shapeways.com/model/328790/

It takes a 12mm glass lens that can be bought from Surplus Shed (http://www.surplusshed.com/) for $4 - part number L4471. That was the cheapest place I could find for glass lenses.


Check out some photos of the lens below...
