Top 5 accessories for the iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 is already breaking pre-order records and seems sure to go on to be the best selling iPhone ever. It seems a good time then to produce a list of five of our best iPhone 5 accessories thus far, including some options that you wouldn’t have thought of. Let’s have a look!

5. Belkin Flex Case Pack

This case pack is a brilliant way of protecting your iPhone 5 and customising it in one fell swoop. The pack includes two cases, one in black and one in white, allowing you to trade cases to match your mood or your outfit, or just give one to a friend. The cases are made of tough silicone that will easily resist scuffs, scratches and small impacts leaving your iPhone 5 as shiny as the day you bought it. When paired with a screen protector, it provides excellent protection with a very small size impact.

4. OmniHolder Case-Compatible In-Car Solution

This universal car-holder is well suited for the iPhone 5, providing a steady and secure platform for using your iPhone on the road. The car holder works in both portrait and landscape modes to suit the app you’re using and can be affixed to either the windscreen or the dashboard, allowing you to find that perfect layout. The OmniHolder is a clever universal solution that serves as a good stand-in before dedicated iPhone 5 car holders hit the market.

3. SGP iPhone 5 Glas.t Premium Tempered Screen Protector

The iPhone 5’s screen is even more vulnerable to damage than ever before, but have no fear: Genuine tempered glass screen protectors are here! Coming from respected manufacturer SGP, these screen protectors use tempered glass to provide upgraded protection against scratches and minor impacts, preventing potentially costly damage. The high-tension glass is also covered in an oleophobic coating to prevent fingerprints from building up. Finally, at 0.4 mm you won’t even notice the minimal added bulk.

2. Universal Aluminium Desk Stand for Smartphones

We haven’t yet seen a Lightning-enabled iPhone 5 dock on store shelves, so until that day the next best thing is a top-rate desk stand for the iPhone 5. This aluminium model provides easy access to your iPhone whether in landscape or portrait modes, perfect for keeping up to date with incoming notifications or just kicking back and watching a film.

1. Energizer XP4001 Universal Portable Charger

If you’re looking for an augmentation to the non-removable iPhone 5 battery, then this is the accessory you want. It provides 4000 mAh of power to counteract the loss of the battery life, especially when using LTE data or watching films on the larger screen. That extra 4 Ah will more than triple the amount of battery life you have on tap, making it easy to keep going all day.

Conclusion

I hope you find these accessories useful, and that you enjoy your new iPhone 5! If you’re not sure which accessory to pick up, I’d definitely give a shout out to our iPhone 5 Ultimate Pack, which should provide an all-in-one accessory solution at a very compelling price point.
