In this day and age, itβs nice to still have physical copies of favorite photos to have something tangible to look at on your desk or wall. Prynt brings a polaroid type experience byΒ printingΒ photos straight from your phone. It will also replay a video if you hold your phone over the photo with the Prynt app. Letβs take a look at this nifty case!
I received the Prynt case in white, along with a pack of Zink paper (a special inkless photo paper), instructions, and a microUSB cable to charge the case.
The Prynt case is compatible with the following smartphones:
- iPhone 6/6S
- iPhone 6/6S Plus
- iPhone 5/5S/SE
- Samsung Galaxy S5
My iPhone 7 Plus wasnβt listed on the compatibility list, but I was lucky and found it to work just fine!
I made sure to charge the Prynt case with the MicroUSB cable. It only took a couple of hours to fully charge, then I was ready to go. I added the Zink paper into the hatch, which fit one ten-pack at a time.
I had to press this side button to get my iPhone into the case.
Hereβs the back of the case with lightning port.
The iPhone 7 Plus fit very snugly into the Prynt, but I had to remove my own iPhone case. Β It made me a bit nervous to push in, but then I realized I was able to remove the βtopβ portion of the case by pressing against the two latches, and then snapping the cover back in.
Here I used the Prynt case with the super thin Totallee case, which Iβm reviewing soon. It doesnβt sit well, so I recommend to just remove any case altogether.
After downloading the Prynt App from the iOS store, I connected the Prynt case by hitting the shutter button, and it connectedΒ automatically.
Hereβs a screenshot of what the Prynt app shows you when taking a photo. You can mail a Prynt, physically print it, or edit the photo.
When printing the photos, it comes out of the case near the top of the phone. Itβs similar to a Polaroid camera, but the nicer since the photo is printed right away, instead of having to wait for the photoΒ to develop.
I found that when printing my photos, the colors were a bit βwashedβ out, and not very accurate to whatβs on screen. Itβs not terrible, but not great.
Here I was playing with the built in photo editor in the Prynt app. They have basic effects such as adjusting light, color and hue, as well as fix redeye, and adding text to the print.
You can do some freehand drawing right on the photo before printing.
You can also create your own memes. Β This is the best I could do for this coffee setup. π
There is a cool feature within the Prynt app where it can record a short video while youβre taking a photo. That six second video that was recorded after the shutter press is actually embedded into the photo. The videoΒ plays on the photo itself in augmented reality style when you hold the Prypt app over the physical photo. Itβs like AR (Augmented Reality) with your own printed photos and the Prynt. More can be seen on their own websiteΒ via the βhow it worksβ link.
Overall, I had fun using the Prynt case. I printed a few shots and gave them out to my friendsΒ at a party, which was fun, but having theΒ phone in the Prynt case was a pain since itβs so bulky. Β I think Iβd rather have a thinner case or separate printer. Iβm going to guess thatΒ the next revision of the Prynt will be thinner, and hopefully, the quality of the photos will be better. For now, itβs a lot of fun to have at gatherings and nice to have a physical print of your favorite photos.

Not a cheap way to print. However I could see it as a nitch product. Quick ID badges for mobile people, etc. But at $0.50 a print? ouch.
