7 Must Have Accessories That Go Perfectly With the iPhone 6

No matter how racy the competition is with the smartphones, you clearly have two sides in the ensuing battle for smartphone supremacy: the Apple fans and the non-Apple fans. It’s just the way Apple has managed to grow a cult rallying up for its products. The recent release of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus only intensifies the competition.

As a consumer, you just have to sit back and gift yourself with the niceties that come through to you thanks to this edgy war. There’s also another side benefit from the popularity of Apple (Android is singled out here): there’s a parallel interest in all things that you’d need for your iPhone such as accessories, skins, stands, holders, iPhone related car accessories, and others.

Just how big is the accessories market, you ask? Apple Insider states that the debut of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus raked in a sizeable $249 million in just two weeks.

Nothing is more immediate than those accessories that can make your iPhone stand out and yet protect your expensive iPhone. Cases make your phone look good and keep them protected. Many other accessories add utility functions to your iPhone that makes your mobile device become an inseparable part of your life.

Here are 7 must-have accessories that go perfectly with the all-new iPhone 6:
Making the case for “cases”

If you thought that the cases that are sold for iPhones are just an after-thought, you are wrong. Just as perfectly crafted as your iPhone is, a lot goes into a case. Pick leather cases, for instance.

These leather cases that Apple recommends are made from hand-selected leather treated with premium aniline dye. Meanwhile, the microfiber interior that comes with the case protects your iPhone.

Silicone cases, meanwhile, come in a slim form allowing you to use your iPhone almost as is. The smooth finish, the colors (at six are available), and form-fitting cases enhance the appeal.

Of course, you aren’t limited to just the ones Apple sells.

There’s an accessory mini-economy for you to shop at. MighySkins.com, for instance, has a range of skins for you to pick from – from wood-style encasing to leather; from silicone to those that come with custom graphics.

Beats By Dr. Dre

This one needs no introduction, does it? Apple has a vested interest to sweep through the music Industry (iTunes was just the start). Recently, Apple acquired Beats by Dr. Dre for a whopping $US 3 billion. Apple now backs the products, of course.

Dr. Dre’s range of earphones and headphones has a more dynamic and wider range when it comes to sound. Featuring higher fidelity audio, streamlined design, remote talk cable (don’t have to touch the phone), foldable design, and more.

Nike FuelBand + SE

In business, you can’t grow without the help of data and analytics. How do you, as a person, grow physically fit and strong? How do you monitor your own metabolism? Enter Nike’s FuelBand – it’s an easy way that tracks and measures your bodily activity — your morning workouts, casual walks, intense badminton or tennis sessions, and more.

An LED display displays your progress at the push of a button and you also have app that gives you real time feedback and allows you toggle between the various modes.

PayPal here

If you are in digital business of any kind, you are likely to be accepting and making payments through PayPal .

You can now do that with your iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus using PayPal here Card reader (there’s another one for Square too).

The miniature, thumb-sized PayPal Here Card reader allows you to do business on the go by helping you to accept payments anywhere, anytime.

In combination with the PayPal App, your phone turns into a mobile payment processing system allowing you accept credit and debit cards along with PayPal payments.

Apple World Travel Adapter Kit

If you are a travel junkie, you can’t escape the fact that your Apple products (especially your phone and tablet) need a miniature support infrastructure.

The World Travel Adapter kit was curated just for that purpose. Featuring a USB adapter, 30-pin to USB cable, a set of 6 AC plugs with prongs that allow you to use electric outlets in countries around the world, the travel kit is a complete set of accessories for your own Apple products.

The kit also works with the Magsafe Power Adaptors that come with your MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops.

Mophie’s Juice Pack Power Station Duo External Battery

Sometimes, all you need is a way to charge your iPhone 6 without the need to scout for a power socket.

iSmart Alarm

Who would have thought that you could make your home way smarter with an accessory and an app? The iSmartAlarm — along with the app — allows you to use your iPhone 6 (previous versions will also work), iPad, or iPod touch to deploy, disarm, and monitor your home security system from anywhere.

The app tells you who’s at home, allows members to leave messages or call, gives you an ability to send push notifications, and detects any break-ins. Featuring a “CubeOne” system, it’s a complete plug-n-play central hub connecting with sensors and remote tags.
