For that much money, wouldn't you just buy a decent camera and an SD adapter to upload the photos to the iPhone? I guess that doesn't make it instant and you can't 'i.am' them to your friends... Maybe there's a point. It's very weak though.
Got a tip for us?

The phrase "epic fail" gets thrown around a lot, but I think we finally have something truly worthy of it. This picture should go into Urban Dictionary next to the phrase.
Can't wait for the Justin Bieber accessories, which will emit the Justin Bieber's Girlfriend scent when it rings (according to the product: "feel Girlfriend wrap around your skin and make its way to your lips, giving you that first-kiss feeling").
Would you use it in a bar?
Would you use it in a car?
Would you use it at a rave?
Would you use it in a cave?
"I do not like your kitschy cam!
I do not like it, will.i.am!"
Would you use it on the street?
Would you use it to a beat?
Would you use it in the 'hood?
Would you use it if you could?
"I do not like white, gold, and glam!
I do not like it, will.i.am!"

When it comes to mobile phones there is an awful lot of stupidity about, Remember Nokia made a reasonable living for many years tarting up its old obsolete phones with gold/platinum/jewelled cases and selling them for thousands of bucks under the "Vertu" brand.
This thing is atrocious but to imply Will.i.am knows a lot about music is redonkulous!
It's pretty bad , but you know if Steve Jobs presented it there would be a line if lunatics waiting in line pissing themselves like excited dogs
This accessory practically doubles the size of the iPhone. The only way Steve Jobs would have ever release something like this to the public is if it far more than doubled the usefulness of the phone.
A Jobs iCase would probably include the following features:
-Doubles battery life
-Picture quality on camera rivals that of a low-end Canon DSLR
-Slide out keyboard is a second touch screen (retina version released as iCase 2)
-Low light camera performance 10X better
-One-piece aluminum construction
-Increased cell reception
-Compatible only with the iPhone 6
-And with Ive designing it, it would end up looking something like this (except 3mm thicker. iCase 2 would be 2mm):
EDIT: Oh, and Apple would release yet another version of mobile me/icloud called micloud to serve as a photo hosting service. And everyone's Apple issue email addresses would be changed to @micloud.com
Everything in the current iCloud would be transferred to the new micloud automatically with only half of it lost! Guaranteed!

Onion Anybody?
Seriously??!!!?
This had to come from The Onion News.
No way this is real.....
Although, The Onion articles are more believable than this.

Well, for one thing, I didn't spend time and resources on developing and marketing a useless piece of crap that turns my 2011 iPhone into a 1970's Vivitar camera look-alike, without the benefit of a piece of glass attached that's worth half a damn.
Does that count?
How do you take a phone call with that stupid thing attached? It's HUGE! Might as well have a mid-90s motorola analog flip-phone!
Either will.i.am is a huge troll, or this is one of the most misguided products ever made.
Jeez that's stupid and ugly. Stick to making horrible music and not worrying about this stuff, k?
