EVER find yourself around at night wishing you could see in the dark? Do you have an iPhone? Well, you're in luck; you can now buy a case that tus your phone into a fully functioning thermal imaging device.

Announced at CES this moing, the FLIR One is an iPhone case that lets you feel like James Bond or the Predator with your own thermal imaging camera. To use it, all you have to do is chuck your iPhone 5 or 5s into the case, download their app and you're good to go.

It took FLIR over two years of research and development to create the camera inside the case which is only around the size of a 5 cent coin. Even though it's of minuscule size and retails for $350, it is still much cheaper than buying a normal thermal lens which will usually sting you for around $1000.

It's aimed at the handy man looking to find leaks in their home and outdoor explorers hoping to avoid getting eaten by a bear, but nothing's stopping you from forking the cash to live your spy dreams.
