This might just be the smartest and simplest cellphone add-on lens yet seen. It's called the Macro Cell Lens Band, and it is little more than a macro lens embedded in a rubber band.

The widget comes from the photo-gadget supremos at Photojojo, and thanks to its simple design it will fit onto pretty much any cellphone (although some of the latest giant-screen Android handsets might be stretching it–literally).

You can wear the band around your wrist, Livestrong-style, letting the lens collect sebum and skin flakes until you need to take a close-up picture. Then it snaps into action, letting you focus up close and magnify tiny objects for big photographic impact.

The band, which can also be kept safely on its own credit-card sized holder, costs $15. Not dirt cheap, but then, you're unlikely ever to lose it.

The Band is currently out of stock.
