Cell Phone Accessories: Top 10 Weird iPhone Accessories

If you are an owner of an iPhone you must have been totally keen on the device since you purchased it. I myself remember about it when I see the pretty and attractive design of mine.

Since the device was unveiled Apple has earned millions of dollars selling over 2.3 million iPhones.

But there is another indisputable fact – the market of iPhone accessories is flourishing as well. People are eager to upgrade their beloved gadgets in every possible way. There are widely known accessories as cases, holders, covers etc. But, in fact, there is quite a number of accessories that you might have not even heard of, although they can be even mover useful than the traditional ones.

The list is dedicated to these accessories. The ones that are not given much publicity to, but can be real assets in different kinds of situations. I will describe only some of them.

There is no point in describing all of them, as sometimes pictures speak better than words.

1. Mini Windshield Wipers for an iPhone

This accessory is geared for those sick and tired of screen smudges. The accessory works even simpler than you could imagine: you attach the windshield wipers to the touch screen and in a matter of seconds they will wipe off all the fingerprints on the display.

2.Black Shirts Edition Cases for iPhone

The cases in the shape of fashionable T-shirt can protect your iPhone from bumps and bruises. The collection is represented by 2 items:

Steve Jobs Turtleneck Case
Simon Cowell Sexy T-shirt Case

The cases cost $29.99 each.

3. iPhone Microfiche Reader

ClearBoost Case: Making Downloads for iPhone Faster?

ClearBoost Case: Making Downloads for iPhone Faster?

As a matter of fact a great number of so-called “brainy” iPhone accessories can be used only for aesthetic purposes. Only few of them have really useful application. The device I’m going to describe below is one of them.

Griffin Technology has come up with ClearBoost case. Today seems to be the case-day. I’m reviewing though different but in fact two types of the same accessory – iPhone cases.

So ClearBoost case is aimed at two major purposes

Protecting your iPhone from external dangers
Boosting the device’s cellular signal

Griffin Technology is specializing in the creation of protective cases for iPhone and ClearBoost case is the first devices that somehow deviates from the course.

When you first see the case you might think that it is just an ordinary one (perhaps except for a small nub that protrudes from the top of the case). But this nub is responsible for making the cellular connection better. In fact it doesn’t give a significant improvement of the signal but you will see that a number of additional signal bars will appear on the screen.

If you wonder how it works, it’s simple – ClearBoost adds an antennae booster to your iPhone. It catches additional signal and send it to the phone via the inbuilt antennae.

As for the protection of the device, Griffin Technology ClearBoost is a strong polycarbonate case. The case is able to protect your phone from scratches and other defects that affect the aesthetic condition of it. Although the device doesn’t give incredible boost in the signal, it definitely improves it. The cost of the case is $29.99 and it seems a reasonable deal, as the device is a great case besides being an antennae booster.

Fire Protection for your iPhone: New Case by OtterBox

Do you want your beloved iPhone truly protected against…anything? I think that I’ve found a great solution for you. There is case called OtterBox Armor Series. It is stronger that Arnold Schwarzenegger, stronger that Bin Laden, even stronger than Robo-cop.

The features of the Armor Series:

Fits 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB iPhones
comes in yellow or black Waterproof
dustproof
dirtproof
sandproof
drop-proof
Screen protected by a PATENTED thin membrane which remains fully functional through the case
Two easy open compound latches secure the case
iPhone is cradled by impact absorbing rubber on all sides
External phone jack maintains the microphone and click button functionality of the Apple headphones or usable with any style headphones with a standard mini stereo plug (1/8″)
Weight (Case Only): 4.5oz
Dimensions: 5.8 x 3.2 x 1

At first sight the case seems a little too bulky, but when you read the protection features you get to understand what this bulk is caused by. The case is for those who want to speak over their iPhone in the open space. Water, sand, dust is no longer a problem. Fighting for Nepal’s liberty? Don’t forget to cover your iPhone with Armor Series case.

Getting the phone into the case is a piece of cake. You simply slide it into the case which opens like a clamshell and fasten the latches back into their place. The major disadvantage of the construction is that you can talk via headphones only.

The Verdict

Armor Series is the top model in the product line of OtterBox. It is made for those who need the maximum protection for their phone and want to use in the “extremest” conditions imaginable.

The price of the device is $69.95. That is not cheap, but you really get the protections you pay for. If you need that kind of 110% protection the case won’t be a sheer waste of money. To my mind no case is able to compete with Armor Series in the degree of phone protection.

3G iPhone Software & Hardware: Top 10 Most and Least Probable Features

With the new iPhone coming in a few weeks the folk start speculating about what it should have and what it should not.

I’ve tried to study the case intently and find out as many things as possible using various sources. A few days ago I wrote an article on what features should the new iPhone possess. The entry showed my personal opinion. This time I’ve come up with the list of features you would like to see in the new device.

So, here you are, the list of features the new iPhone should have. Deliberately I split the list into 2 sections: the serious and the funny one. The first section deals with features that are likely to appear on the iPhone (because they are, in fact, the reason why the new version is released). The second section is the collection of jokes and humorous features.

Probable features:

1) The ability to install any native app no matter whether Apple approves of it or not

2) The ability to designate a portion of its storage as a Universal Mass-Storage Device, so it shows up as a standard hard drive on any computer it is plugged into.

3) Full unhindered file system access to the phone.

4) Integrated VoIP support, automatically receiving calls over the WiFi connection when available, so that acceptable phone call audio quality and reliability is reached

5) MMS and custom ringtones? Like any $50 Nokia does

6) Flash support; video capture capabilities; spellcheck; file browser (search); voice recognition (quick dial)

7) Video recording option

Cut&Paste

9) SD card slot

10) Back button, removable battery, RDS Radio

Less probable features:

1) Windshield wipers, to get rid of all the finger prints

2) It should print money, and allow for the baking of cakes within

3) A toaster, and built-in dlp projector

4) Stun gun attachment

5) No Apple logo

6) Back button, removable battery, RDS Radio

7) A free donkey with every purchase

An application called “The Picard.” When you take a picture of a woman, all of her clothes fall off.

9) 320GB of storage

10) Take your dog for a walk, do your taxes, and your wife
