Case for Vision is an iPhone 15 Pro case with a twist: it has legs that fold out so you can put it on a desk and use it as a stand magnifier, and an angled lens you can point at a wall to zoom in on whiteboards or anything else at a distance. Case for Vision also does a great job protecting your phone, too! Curious? You’re in luck! We’re holding a special event to demonstrate Case for Vision on November 13. 

The Case for Vision (Toronto)  workshop happens Wednesday, November 13 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the CNIB GTA Community Hub (1525 Yonge Street, Toronto). 

Please be advised that you must register for all programs. We kindly ask you to RSVP a minimum of 1 full business day before the start of the program. 

Registration required. To register, please complete the CNIB Auto Registration Form.
