My Favorites iPhone Accessories
Now that you own an Apple iPhone (or you will soon), here are some iPhone accessories to pair it with:
1. Griffin iPhone adaptor
As you probabily know the iPhone has a 3.5 mm stereo recessed headphone jack, which is compatible only with the stereo headset that is delivered with the phone and a small range of third party headphones. Have you ever wanted to bring music at a higher quality, ever said that the clasic headset is simply not enough for you? Have you ever been at a party and wanted to play the songs from your iPhone so that everyone hears them?
Someone thought at this problem before and decided to find a way of solving it. This someone is called Griffin Technology and they designed a special adapter which gives you the possibility of using any normaljacked headset on your iPhone.
The Griffin Adapter enlarges your horizont, from now on you will be able to trow a party just using your iPhone and the adapter. It is well designed, not very rigid as most adaptors on the market, and the first one specialy created and ment for iPhone. Available in white or black for just $10, it fits smooth into the design of the Iphone.
But headsets aren’t the only things you can use with it. Any other sound sistem working on a normal jack will function. The Griffin adapter makes not only your favourite headset compatible to your iPhone, but connecting it to any sound sistem means that you will be able to play your music much louder, and turn the music so loud that you might disturb the neighbours.
2. iPhone InCharge Auto Adapter
InCharge iPhone auto charger from XtremeMac has to be one of the coolest looking car power adapters ever designed. And I mean not only iPhone chargers but the best looking of all car chargers ever designed for a mobile phone. Just take a look at the picture above and say it isn’t so.
Look at the shiny black plastic, with it’s nice finishing and chromed details to match iPhone’s design. Look at the fuzzy blue power led that disapears completely when the device is removed from your car’s 12 volts socket.
Look at the fine crafted, detachable USB cable with the cord lenght of 5 feet (that’s a wooping 1.5 meters for the happy iPhone owners in Europe). I mean come’on, most car chargers have a power cord that’s so short you can’t even use the phone while charging. This 5 feet cable should allow a person in the back seet to use the phone without removing it from the socket.
Also a nice feature of this charger is that it’s practicaly 3 devices in one:
- an universal USB car charger. You can use the base unit as a standalone charger for any device that allows charging throug an USB cable.
- a spare, 5 feet, USB cable for your iPhone, that you can use to conect or charge your iPhone at your computer.
- a car adapter for your iPhone, the main purpose of the device.
That sounds like alot for the mere $19.95 this charger sells for, but before you buy maybe you should read the reviews from these happy and not so happy owners that bought it from the Apple store.
You can grab one of these at a discounted price of $14.55 at Amazon.com (This is a limited time offer, the regular price is $19.95, so don’t blame me if the price changes in time).
Pablo - This one is for you!
3. Incase Protective Cover for iPhone
The Incase Protective Cover for iPhone ($30) offers the best combination of fit and protection we’ve seen for the new handset, with great looks — the black model looks as if it was meant to be there all along — and covers for the volume and sleep buttons. There are already plenty of different cases for the iPhone, but only this one seems like it was actually made using an iPhone.
4. Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset
I am still trying to decide between a few different Bluetooth headsets for my iPhone. I like the Jawbone and Argard M10, but the Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset ($129) seems to be calling me. Sporting a very classy design, the lightweight headset has a simple, single button for making and answering calls. The headset also includes Apple’s iPhone Dual Dock to charge it and your iPhone at the same time.
(If someone has a take on this - please let me know!)
5. Belkin Sport Armband for iPhone
If you plan to really use your iPhone for everything, then you’ll need a good workout case. The Belkin Sport Armband for iPhone ($30) is hand-washable and water-resistant, and sports lightweight neoprene construction, screen protection, and a key pocket to hold your house key while out on a run.
6. Shure SE210 Sound Isolating Earphones and Music Phone Adapter
At 149$ the Shure SE210 wired earbuds are a bit of a splurge, but they’ll conform comfortably to the inside of your ear, and their sleeves do an excellent job of reducing external noise. For $40 extra, you can purchase Shure’s Music Phone Adapter, which will transform any of Shure’s Sound Isolating Earphones into a headset. With the push of a button, you can pause and resume music while you make phone calls.
I love it!
7. Macally mClip
Looking for a comfortable way to watch video on your iPhone? Macally’s mClip features a swivel belt clip that doubles as a stand. That way, you can prop the iPhone on a desk or table. The mClip also protects all the corners of the iPhone.
