1. A system for providing image capturing illumination for a mobile device, the mobile device including a mobile device housing, a rear image capturing subsystem provided at a rear side of the mobile device for enabling the mobile device to capture an image of a subject when the rear side of the mobile device is facing the subject, and a front image capturing subsystem provided at a front side of the mobile device for enabling the mobile device to capture an image of the subject when the front side of the mobile device is facing the subject, the system comprising:
a main housing assembly, the main housing assembly configured to house at least a portion of the mobile device housing of the mobile device;
an illumination assembly, the illumination assembly securable to the main housing assembly, the illumination assembly including:
an illumination body, the illumination body including a rear illumination body side and a front illumination body side;
an illumination securing assembly, the illumination securing assembly configured to secure the illumination body to the main housing assembly, the illumination securing assembly further configured to enable the illumination body to move between a first position and a second position relative to the main housing assembly;
a rear side illumination source, the rear side illumination source provided on the rear illumination body side of the illumination body, the rear side illumination source configured to transition between providing image capturing illumination and not providing image capturing illumination;
a front side illumination source, the front side illumination source provided on the front illumination body side of the illumination body, the front side illumination source configured to transition between providing image capturing illumination and not providing image capturing illumination; and
an illumination controller, the illumination controller configured to control at least one of the following:
control the rear side illumination source to provide image capturing illumination;
control the front side illumination source to provide image capturing illumination;
control both the rear side illumination source and the front side illumination source to provide image capturing illumination; and
control both the rear side illumination source and the front side illumination source to not provide image capturing illumination.
