If you just bought the hot new Verizon iPhone, of course your next step is loading up on those nifty gadgets and gizmos to compliment your new toy. Without knowing what you might actually use, those racks of Apple accessories offer a plethora of options, not all of which you will need. How do you know what you really need in terms of accessories? Easy, take our advice on the absolute must-have Apple accessories!
Skins
Touch screens are a wonderful invention, with bigger viewing areas and easier navigation. For those who carry their phones and iPods in a pocket or purse, however, scratches quickly make a touch screen inoperable. The very first Apple accessory to grab off the rack is some form of protection. Options abound, from vinyl skins that cover the entire phone, to clear scr
een skins that stick directly onto the touch screen. Whatever your choice, skins protect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod from scratches and dings.
Ear Buds
When it comes to Apple accessories, manufacturers of all shapes and sizes provide a wealth of options for ear buds. Some have microphones so you can talk and listen. Some are Bluetooth for wireless splendor. Some serve as antennas to boost FM signals. No matter how you plan to use your chosen Apple device, invest in a quality, versatile set of ear buds so you can listen without disturbing your neighbors.
Backup Battery
A backup battery is a huge plus for your iPhone, iPad, or other device. Ask any Mac fan how often they zap their batteries to nothing? With the many apps to use, it’s hard to not run the battery dry! Sure, you may have access to a standard or portable car charger most of the time, but it’s better to have a backup and not need it, then need it and not have it. Consider getting a backup battery before your next vacation where you’ll suddenly not have access to the home/car chargers that you are use to.
