ShiftCam S.Mount Camera Case for Android

ShiftCam is extending its S.Mount Camera Case lineup beyond iPhone with new Android-compatible models for flagship phones.

The brand says the cases are now available for Samsung S25 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra, with a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL model available for pre-order.

If you already use ShiftCam’s lenses, the S.Mount system uses a quick twist-and-lock attachment to swap lenses during shooting, and it also claims enhanced magnetic strength to make those changes easier in practice.

Key Features
  • New Android models for Samsung S25 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra, with Google Pixel 10 Pro XL on pre-order.
  • S.Mount system for quick twist-and-lock lens attachment.
  • Enhanced magnetic strength for faster lens changes while shooting.
  • LensUltra Series works directly with the case on Android, with no universal mount required.

ShiftCam also says that, for the first time, Android users can use the full LensUltra Series directly with the S.Mount Case, without a universal mount.

The S.Mount Camera Cases for the three Android-supported devices are MagSafe compatible and work with wireless chargers, including Qi2 and MagSafe chargers.

These new cases are 1m drop tested and ship with 2x S.Mount converter rings and work with ProGrip and other ShiftCam accessories, including the SnapSeries ecosystem.

For travellers, the point of the ShiftCam S.Mount Camera Case for Android is less about “more camera” and more about faster choices. If you are moving between street scenes, interiors, and landscapes, a dedicated mount and quick swaps can be the difference between getting the shot and watching it walk off.

The ShiftCam S.Mount Camera Case for Android smartphones is $49 and available now on shiftcam.com for the Samsung S25 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL owners can pre-order here.
