The popularity of Apple's phones continues to rise, especially after the release of their latest model. The smart phones of today are more than just phones, you can use them to surf the Internet or even take photographs and video.

You can do lots of things with your iPhone, even if you don't have any accessories. Yet there are still lots of accessories that will enable you to do even more with your phone. Products like cases and screen covers perform very practical functions, while some give you the ability to improve the performance of certain functions on your phone.

One accessory for your iPhone that's practically a necessity is a screen protector. It would be an absolute shame to go to the trouble of having a high end phone, only for it to get damaged. There are many ways to protect your phone, but one you may want to consider is Zagg's InvisibleShield. While the cover might look far too thin to be protective, it's highly durable and completely transparent. You can protect your phone from getting scratched with this unique cover made using nano-memory technology. You're also far less likely to lose your grip on your phone with this cover as it makes it easier to grasp. These are also made for other devices, such as iPods and iPads as well, so you can protect all of your portable devices.

The Elan Passport Wallet combines the functions of a wallet with a protective case for your iPhone. This is one way to have your cake and eat it too with a stylish wallet and phone case all in one. The no-scratch lining will prevent your phone from getting scratches or smudges. An advantage to this product is that it does allow you to keep your phone and the essential items you use most near you in one place. You'll be able to store important documents, cash, credit cards and ID too. This is a fashionable and useful way to protect and carry around your iPhone.

Getting a case to store your iPhone is one accessory that's really a necessity. Some people prefer hard shell cases, while others like leather or other durable soft pouches. If you want a solid but lightweight case that's made in various colors, you may want to get the iFrogz Case. The advantage of this case is that it's case is strong enough to guard your phone, but thin and attractively styled. You won't have to remove your phone from the case to use any of its features.

One accessory that many iPhone users like is an armband, which allows you to wear your phone at the gym or anywhere you go. There are several armbands you can get, but Belkin has made one for iPhone in particular, and it has a lightweight design that's also water resistant. You can operate the phone while the cover keeps the screen protected. If you have headphones, these can be conveniently stored in a special capsule. The armband is made from a comfortable stretch material that custom fits to your wrist. With an armband, you can have your phone nearby without having to stuff it in your pocket, carrying case or use a belt clip, which not everyone likes the look of. Some armbands that were made for iPhone 3 may not fit properly with iPhone, so make sure you get the right kind.

An iPhone Dock is a great accessory for connecting your iPhone to your computer, TV or even your speakers that attach using cables to your ports. So you're able to charge your phone and still leave your phone upright for easy use if you want to view images or use other apps. You'll also know where your phone is at all times if you keep it in your dock.

Sound buffs may want to get the Belkin TuneCast Auto Live FM Transmitter, which gives you the ability to transmit music from your iPhone to your car stereo. If you listen to the radio when driving, you know that radio reception varies a great deal, but this unit has built in GPS scanning to find the strongest signal wherever you are. This is a good way to make sure you're getting great sound in your car no matter where you might be. It allows you to control your car's stereo system with your iPhone or iPod without the use of any wires. This is a good iPhone accessory if you want an easy way to control the sound in your car.

You can find all kinds of iPhone accessories, but you should focus on the ones that you can really make good use of. You might not require all of the accessories available, even though they might be enticing. Some of the accessories we've discussed in this article might be helpful for you and some might not. Stay tuned to updates on new iPhone accessory releases if you're keen to find even more to suit you.

The above iPhone accessories are some popular ones, but there are certainly many others worth exploring as well.
