If you travel in your car a lot or frequently use your phone throughout the day, then you need a car charger so that you never run out of juice. There’s plenty of car chargers out there to chose from, whether it’s a fancy dock and charger or one of the simple USB car chargers available. I’ve taken a closer look at three of our most popular car chargers available:
Navigon iPhone 4S / 4 Car Holder with Charger
Navigon iPhone 4/4S Car Holder and Charger
I actually own a Navigon as my iPhone 4S car charger and what I personally like about it is its curved style. It looks a lot more stylish than other car charger and dock combos, but does the job just as well.
This car holder can be stuck to your windscreen at the angle to suit you with the simple suction cup. Therefore you can position it in a place on your windscreen which is not only safe but also comfortable to use.
When using the Navigon you can angle it so that your phone is in either a portrait or landscape view, which is great for when using the maps feature of your iPhone, or for plugging in phone chargers, FM transmitters and other accessories.
Using an accessory like the Navigon you still have all the features of your phone available but your phone is docked safely and securely whilst doing so.
The included car charger is a simple USB charger meaning you can use your own cable and it’s compatible with both cars and trucks.
USB Car Charger Adapter
USB Car Charger Adapter
The USB car charger adapter is in my eyes a staple accessory for any car.
Cheap and cheerful, this USB plug slots into the cigarette lighter and will charge any accessory via USB. This means not only can you charge your phone, but you could charge a Kindle, hand held gaming system like the DS and even tablets.
This means that if you’re on a long journey, you can keep your passengers occupied without the fear of batteries running out and calls of ‘Are we there yet?’
Compatible with any USB cable, this charger can be used on its own or with a dock, making it multi-functional and essential. The plug can hide away in your glove box when not in use but you’ll be glad it’s there when you run out of juice!
Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Vehicle Dock
Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 Vehicle Dock
The last dock and car charger on my list is the Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 Vehicle Dock. In a similar way to the Navigon it docks and charges your phone, so it’s a great Samsung Galaxy S2 car charger.
Being an official product, the perfect fit and compatibility is assured with this vehicle dock. It clips your phone in place safely and securely ensuring that it won’t fall out if you take a corner too hard.
Like the Navigon it can be attached to your windscreen by a simple suction cup, meaning you can dock your phone safely and legally, at the most comfortable angle for you. To add even more comfort you can view your phone in portrait or landscape, so again it’s great for SatNav apps.
The USB charger fits nicely into the phone and like all Samsung chargers keeps your phone fully juiced whilst you’re on the go.
Sleek and sophisticated, this is a great vehicle dock and charger for all S2 owners.
So that’s my top three; whether you agree or disagree let me know through the usual channels

There’s nothing more annoying than having to constantly remove and attach your mobile phone case. Whether it’s to use your phone in a dock, a car holder or with your speakers, it would be much simpler if more accessories were case compatible. Luckily we’ve got one which is…. the CaseBuddy.
The CaseBuddy is one of the only accessories for Apple devices which allows you to dock your device whilst your case is still on. This makes it the perfect iPhone 4S dock, especially if you have the white iPhone 4S.
CaseBuddy
By allowing you to dock your iPhone whilst it still has its iPhone case on, the CaseBuddy makes charging and syncing quick and easy. It even supports bulky iPhone cases such as the Otterbox range and Griffin Survivor, proving that the CaseBuddy is one of the most useful iPhone accessories available.
Another great thing about the CaseBuddy is that it’s really small so you can just pop it in your bag and take it anywhere with you. The silicone feet on the bottom of the iPhone 4S docking station stop it from sliding around the table and the handy cable tidy prevents your wire looking untidy and also helps to keep your handset upright once it’s docked.
When using the CaseBuddy, your handset is at the perfect angle for streaming media, surfing the web and sending messages, so you can keep the fun going whilst your charging up your battery all with your case still on.

There’s aliens trying to attack Earth and there’s only one person who can stop them…. you! Use your appBlaster gun and your iPhone to fend off the aliens, by stopping them in their tracks.
Combining augmented reality and a fun game from the appstore, the appBlaster lets you track down and shoot aliens who appear to be invading your home and the entire planet - don’t let us down!
The appBlaster gun is lightweight and comes with a shoulder stock, meaning you can comfortably play for hours and make sure every one of those aliens is sent back to there home planet. There’s two triggers on the gun too, a rear trigger which fires lasers and a front trigger which fires missiles, so there’s no excuses for missing the aliens.
appBlaster gun
Here’s the clever augmented reality bit: the appBlaster app uses the rear facing camera of your iPhone to overlay the game against your environment – transforming your iPhone into a high-tech sight complete with cross hairs and game data. This makes the game completely feel like it’s happening all around you, bringing the invasion closer to home. This is definitely one of the best iPhone accessories for gaming fans.
The augmentation is teamed with your iPhone’s accelerometer, making the game play at the same speed as you – if you turn fast, so will the aliens, but if you move slower, the game will slow down too. Even re-loading your gun is incorporated into the game, as you have to point your gun to the sky then bring it back down to re-load; all before those pesky aliens attack even more.
Playing with the appBlaster can lead to hours of fun and you can even play to the Mission Impossible theme like in this video

We’re expecting the release of the iPhone 5 at some point this year and it’s fair to say the rumour mill surrounding the handset is in full swing: is it thinner than the iPhone 4? Does it have a curved screen? Is it faster? Will it have a brushed aluminium effect? There’s so many questions and rumours flying around that it’s hard to distinguish fact from fiction. However, we thought this would be the perfect time to remind ourselves of why the iPhone 4 is such a successful handset, with a countdown of the Top 10 cool iPhone accessories…..
10. Apple iPhone 4 bumper
Every iPhone 4 owner knows that an iPhone 4 bumper or case is needed to boost the signal of your iPhone 4 and none perform better than the official Apple iPhone 4 bumper. The perfect accompaniment for an iPhone screen protector, a bumper protects the corners and sides of your handset without taking away the style or sleekness.
The bumper contains all the cut-outs needed to keep your iPhone fully functioning like one for the charging port and volume control, making a bumper a great alternative for those who still want to show off the design of the iPhone but protect the sides and corners.

9. Drivetime Car Pack for iPhone 4
This iPhone 4 car holder allows you both dock and charge your iPhone whilst driving; meaning that no matter how long your journey, you’ll never run out of power and you’ll always be viewing your phone safely and legally.
Unlike other mobile phone car holders, the Drivetime car pack can be stuck to almost any flat surface meaning it can be used on both the dashboard and windscreen of your car. The car holder also has three joints which can be moved to put your handset in a number of positions and angles, allowing you to find the most suitable one for you and your driving experience.
As this iPhone car holder is made with the iPhone 4 in mind it contains all the relevant cut-outs including one for the charging port and the lock button.

7. Boxwave Keyboard case for iPhone 4
Some iPhone owners miss using a qwerty keyboard, so owning an iPhone 4 keyboard like the Boxwave keyboard allows you to have the best of both worlds.
Unlike other iPhone keyboards, the bluetooth Boxwave keyboard doubles up as a case, so you can slide it out when you need it and slide it back to be part of the case when you’re finished. the case and keyboard are both stylish and modern, but also help to provide protection to the iPhone, as well as being functional.
Another great feature of the Boxwave is that it uses it’s own power supply which is recharged through a Mini USB cable, so it doesn’t drain your iPhone 4′s power.
The Boxwave bluetooth keyboard connects wirelessly through to your iPhone 4 meaning there’s no installation needed, just simply pair it with your iPhone and you’re ready to go.

6. Otterbox Defender iPhone 4 case
Otterbox are at the forefront of tough protective cases thanks to their multi-layer technology and guaranteed protection. Therefore it’s no surprise that they released a range of iPhone 4 cases which use their layered technology.
The Otterbox Defender Case contains three layers: a thin thermal-formed sheet which covers your screen; a strong polycarbonate shell which protects the handset as a whole from bumps and drops and finally a silicone skin which absorbs shocks.
This makes the Otterbox Defender iPhone 4 case both practical and protective, as all the phone’s ports and features are still accessible whilst in the case.
Right now if you buy any Otterbox Case, you receive a free Otterbox stand simply by using the rebate code ‘OTTERSTAND’ at the checkout.

5. CaseBuddy Dock
The CaseBuddy is the answer to most iPhone owners problems: the lack of iPhone docks which allow you to charge your phone with the cover still on.
Being small and compatible, the CaseBuddy can be used with any Apple device including the iPhone 4 and even better it allows you to charge your phone whilst your iPhone 4 cover is still on and due to its size, makes it the perfect dock to take on your travels. However the CaseBuddy will still work if your iPhone doesn’t have a cover on it.
The Casebuddy can be used as an iPhone 4 dock also due to its cradle style, making it perfect for listening to music, texting and surfing the web. Another great feature of the CaseBuddy is its ability to hide your wires, so that the area your CaseBuddy is on remains clutter free.

Ever wished you could have two phones in one? That your work and personal phone lines could be on the same handset? Well here’s the answer, the Rebel 2Phone Dual SIM Case.
The Rebel 2Phone lets you use two SIM cards at the same time on the same handset. It uses your original iPhone 4 microSIM, whilst the case houses a second SIM card which replicates the look and feel of your original iOS dialer, through a custom made app. This means, you can make calls and send messages on your second SIM, whilst incoming calls and messages come up as notifications, enabling you to accept or decline them.
Rebel 2Phone Case
The SIM in the Rebel 2Phone case is unlocked, meaning that any network SIM can be used in it – a great feature for people who travel abroad frequently and like to use PAYG SIM cards.
One thing you don’t have to worry about with the Rebel 2Phone is it eating all your iPhone 4 battery, as the
iPhone 4 cover comes with it’s own battery supply; which is rechargeable and also gives your iPhone 4 an emergency charge as long as it’s above 50% power.
The Rebel 2Phone contains all the relevant cut-outs to keep the phone’s functionality whilst it’s in the case; however the case does use the iPhone 4′s dock connector interface, but in return it features a micro USB port which replicates the functionality, so charging is still possible.
In order to use the Rebel 2Phone Dual SIM Case though, your iPhone 4 must be Jailbroken.
