iPhone 5 Accessories Roundup
- 12 years ago
The iPhone 5 has arrived, and with it, a new generation of iPhone accessories. In case you're one of the early adopters and wondering what options you have, here are our picks for the best of the bunch so far.
Now the first thing you're probably going to want to pick up is an lightning to 30 pin adapter. If you were using an iPhone before you got the 5, you probably have a slew of chargers and accessories you can't use anymore. The cable normally costs $40, and the adapter costs $30, but if you're willing to hedge your bets on a 3rd party version you could pick one up for around $15.
Next, we would recommend picking up a screen protector, because seriously, what's worse than scratching your screen in the first few weeks after you get it? Skinomi makes one for a meager 2.95, so you really don't have an excuse.
And now lets talk about some case options. For those who prefer bumpers, check out the Photive Hybrid iPhone 5 Bumper Case. If you prefer skins, we recommend the Carved Mahogany iPhone wood skin, which can be applied and re-applied multiple times. And if you want a case but don't want it to LOOK like you have one, Case-Mate's Barely There Case gets about as snug as possible while still protecting your phone.
More gadgets to come of course, but that's it for now. If you happen to spot any cool iPhone 5 accessories that you think the world should know about, leave a comment and let us know. See you guys next time, on AskMen.
