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? \u00a0There’s so many questions and rumours flying around that it’s hard to distinguish fact from fiction. \u00a0However, 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…..<\/p>\n

10. Apple iPhone 4 bumper<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every iPhone 4 owner knows that an iPhone 4 bumper<\/a> or case is needed to boost the signal of your iPhone 4 and none perform better than the official Apple iPhone 4 bumper. \u00a0The perfect\u00a0accompaniment\u00a0for an\u00a0iPhone screen protector<\/a>, a bumper protects the corners and sides of your handset without taking away the style or sleekness.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
