I need to find some iPhone accesories. I finally saw the iPhone live last week and I must say i was impressed, so impressed that I’m thinking about ordering one an decode it in order to use it with my local operators, even though i was almost convinced i should go for the iPod Touch. But, i would also need a couple of accessories for it. So, since I’ve searched the web for iPhone accesories today, here’ s a little collection of the best 10 things I’ve found.

iPhone accessory number 10 – a premium rapid car charger

InCharge Auto from XtremeMac is a gadget designed to charge your iPhone and iPod by using the standard 12V outlet found in most cars these days. It has a sleek design and a long enough cable so that you can place the iPhone when charging in the dock on the central console. Also, the device has intelligent circuitry, protecting the phone from power spikes that are common in every moving vehicle. So, this fast car charger is a great accessory for your iPhone.

iPhone accessory number 9 – the Apple iPhone Dock

The iPhone Dock costs now just $15 ( the usual retail price is 29$ , so you can get it for a great discounted price here) and offers easy access to a USB port for syncing or charging and an audio line out for connecting your iPhone to external speakers. Also includes an Apple USB Power Adapter and an Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable. It’s a must have accessory for every iPhone owner.

iPhone accessory number 8 – BoxWave Screen Puffs

The problem with touch sensitive screens is simple: they get filled with fingerprints in like no time. The BoxWave Screen Puffs is one of the simplest solution against this problem: portable screen cleaners. You won’t have to wipe the screen with your shirt anymore, just use these little thingies after each usage, and the fingerprints will disappear. This iPhone accessory’s is available in several different colours and costs only 2.95$ each.

If you’re looking for a more bizarre solution against fingerprints, you’ll find one down bellow in this iPhone accessories top.

iPhone accessory number 7 – OtterBox Defender case for iPhone

Otterbox Defender for iPhone is a phone case, but not an ordinary one. It’s made from highly durable materials and its entire shape is designed to protect the iphone inside from scratches, bumps and shocks. The upper part has a thin film protecting layer that won’t diminish at all the performances of the touch screen. The entire case is made so you can easily access all the functions and the buttons of your Apple gadget without having to remove it.

The Otterbox Defender comes in several colors (black, white , pink etc) and even has a clip for attaching it to your belt or to a car mount GPS stand.

This case usually retails for 49.95$ (but you can get it here for only $31, for a limited amount of time). I agree that there are cheaper cases on the market too, but this one is certainly one of the best. Also, it’s one of the best sold iPhone cases on Amazon and has lots of positive reviews (has a 4.3 out of 5 mark), and this facts speak for themselves.

As a conclusion, this Otterbox Defender is a case that can combine looks with good build quality, durability and the optimal protection your iPhone needs. After all, you’ve bought a pretty expensive phone, you’re not going to endanger it by cutting a couple of bucks off from buying a proper case, are you?

iPhone accessory number 6 – Nokia Bluetooth car kit

It might seem odd that that i recommend a Nokia accessory for the iPhone, but the Nokia Bluetooth car kit works great with the Apple phone.

And since it’s one of the best products in its class, i thought it will go well with your stylish iPhone in your fancy car. Oh, and remember, it’s way safer to use a car kit for phone conversations while driving.

The high price tag might be the only problem, but after all this is on of the smartest Bluetooth car kits on the market and you can get it from here for a discounted price of $299 . See this link for more details.

iPhone accessory number 5 – Aliph JawBone II Bluetooth Headset

A Bluetooth headset couldn’t have missed from this iPhone accessories list. But instead of going for the regular one provided by Apple, you can choose the Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset, that comes with better looks and design.

Available in 3 different colours (red, black and silver), this headset integrates the “latest innovations in acoustics, audio processing and product design to provide users with best-in-class incoming and outgoing voice clarity”.

It comes with noise reducing technologies, almost invisble controls and good battery life: 4 horus talk time, 8 days standby time.

As for the price, it’s a little high, with a tag of $81 on this site, via Amazon (retail price is $99 though). But i still recommend it as a primary headset solution for your iPhone, because of it’s design and overall quality.

iPhone accessory number 4 – the TuffWrap case

Also from XtremeMac comes this cool durable silicone case with TuffShield screen protection. It costs only 15.99$, comes with lifetime warranty so this must mean it’s durable, and is specifically made for the iPhone. The TufWrap case includes built-in protection for the hold switch, a protective door for the dock connector, and a port for the camera on the back of the iPhone.The face of the iPhone and the touch screen is protected by a removable TuffShield screen protector. What could you want more from an iPhone case?

iPhone accessory number 3 – iPhone thong

I admit, this is a little geeky. Too geeky actually, but might be a good way for you ladies to get some attention from your geeky boyfriends. They are (or at least were) available on eBay, so go ahead a grab a pair. Oh, and if they don’t work, it’s either you, or your boyfriends are gay…

iPhone accessory number 2 – iPhone fingers

Well, this is the weirdest iPhone accessory I’ve ever seen. You can call these iPhone fingers condoms for your fingers. You roll them on so that you won’t live any finger prints on your stylish gadget while using it. OK, i get it, but who on earth would use these things in public? Beats me…

Oh, and here’s a paragraph from their FAQ: “ By using them gently they would last for a very long time with multiple usage.” Hmm, multiple usage they say? ) Use your imagination. You can find the iPhone fingers here.

iPhone accesories top Winner - a car

How come you may ask? Well, cause I’ve already presented some iPhone accessories suitable for your vehicle and because i would really like using the multi touch screen interface for the navigation system on my central panel. What do you think, would the iPhone suit the latest Honda civic Type-R? I think so…

That’s it for this top of iPhone accesories. I’m not entirely sure, cause it’s my personal top. So, if you’ve spotted other fancy accessories for the Apple iPhone that you think might deserve to get in this list, just leave some replies and i’ll add them later on. Enjoy.
