subject: 4 Mobile Accessories You Need For You New Iphone [print this page] Apple's iPhone is one of the most popular mobile phones ever made. Although it's a fantastic product in its own right, there are several mobile accessories that can enhance its usability and make the experience even better, with the following 4 being some of the most notable.
1. In-car charger - one of the iPhone's downfalls is that as it has so many features, if you're using it heavily on a daily basis, you're going to need to charge it more than once every 24 hours.
Therefore, whilst you can charge your phone easily at home when you're asleep, it's a little more difficult to do during the day.
However, if you drive a car for your commute to and from work, then it's strongly recommended that you invest in an in-car charger.
Only costing a few pounds, they ensure that you can charge your phone the one time when you're legally not allowed to use it (plus, if your car has an aux input, invest in a suitable lead and you can play the songs on your iPhone through your car's stereo).
2. Protective case - Apple's products are some of the most aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically friendly devices ever. However, they are not the most robust of items and therefore if you've just spent 500 pound on a new iPhone or are paying out 35 pounds a month, you're going to want to ensure it stays in the best condition possible.
With protective cases available in a range of different styles and designs, some of the most popular are those that simply cover the sides and back of the phone, giving you free access to the screen.
3. Docking station - whilst you have been able to play music on your mobile phone for several years, the iPhone is the only phone that has an abundance of mobile accessories available which allow you to use it as part of a stereo system.
Known as docking stations, what they essentially do is allow you to simply place your iPhone onto the connection, choose your favourite songs and have them played through speakers.
What's more, docking stations usually come in a variety of different styles, so no matter what your budget is or whether you want a basic alarm clock version or a high end stereo system, there should be one available to suit your needs and budget.
4. Screen protector - if you're looking to increase the lifespan of your iPhone as much as possible, in addition to using a protective case, which will ensure any damage to the side and rear casing of the phone is minimal, it's advised that you apply a screen protector.
Whilst screen protectors have been at the forefront of much criticism from iPhone users, primarily for the fact they can take the sleekness away from the screen and in some instances (generally if applied incorrectly) reduce usability slightly, there is no doubt that if you can get used to using one, they can ensure that your iPhone stays in the best condition possible.
