Must Buy iPhone Gadgets

1 - Bumpers and Cases  |
One of the most popular accessories to buy for iPods and iPhones is the 'bumper'. An iPhone bumper clips on tightly around your handset and helps prevent touch screen scuffs and scratches on the front and sides of iPhones. The extra thickness of a bumper hardly notices when you are carrying an iPhone 3GS in your pocket. Impact cases – absorb a shock when you drop your iPhone. I'm sure my impact case saved my handset a lot of times. The hard shell type actually explodes in halves when it takes a fall and clips back together to live another day. New impact cases are made from Gel. Bumpers – these look like a thick rim around the sides of the iPhone. Whether they're genuine Apple or not they are cheap and easy to replace. After five months mine cracked, but the iPhone was kept good. Apple Store Price: £26.99 - Amazon £3.99 Both accessories come in lots of colours and clear. Bumpers for 3GS and iPhone 4 need to be specified at the time of purchase. Some iPhone bumpers include clear screen protectors. An alternative to the impact case and bumper would be a leather cases option. However these are more bulky than thin plastic bumper/cases. |
