Life In LoFi’s 10 Great Instagram Tips

It’s been two years since Hipstamatic was released in the App Store. Whether it was the brilliant marketing — the “revival” of a mythical prototype toy camera from the early 1980′s, the Hipstamatic 100 — or the fact that the app creates lush, great looking unique effects, Hipstamatic has spent most of its time in the App Store fighting sharing the #1 spot with Camera+ and Color Splash in Paid Photo Apps.

Earlier this year, Synthetic Infatuation teamed up with iPhone case maker Agent18 to manufacture the HipstaCase 100. The case gives your iPhone 4 or 4S the appearance of a “real life” Hipstamatic toy camera.

The case is on sale through the weekend. Click past the jump for more info and the promo code needed for the discount. >>>>

I reviewed the HipstaCase back in April. Not only does this plastic case give your iPhone 4 the look and texture of what a Hipstamatic camera would have have looked like, but it adds some unexpected protection and function to your device — a tripod mount and a very handy wrist strap. It’s a pretty solid and sexy little case.

This entire weekend, celebrate Hipstamatic’s birthday in the Hipstamart online only. Use promo code “HAPPYBIRTHDAY” to get 50% off a Hipstacase. The case normally sells for $39.95 — this is a huge savings of almost $20. It’s available in black or white. There’s also a case available for the latest iPod Touch models.

For anyone who shoots with Hipstamatic, this makes a great gift. It’s even better for $20 less.

One big omission in the case is Hipstamatic’s signature yellow dot. Click to read how I completed my HipstaCase and added the Big Yellow Dot.

This sale is good this weekend only and only online at Hipstamart.com.
