To show even more proof that the iPhone is the hot ticket at the moment, all kinds of companion accessories are cropping up to making the iPhone experience heavenly.
Rear Logo Glow
Now, this is just balling. Need to make the Apple logo on the rear shell glow like it's MacBook cousins? No problem says some Russian modders for a neat $300.
Verdict: Nice to have, too expensive to even care about. I have a silicone case over my iPhone anyways.
6X Telescopic Lens
Need a 6X zoom on your iPhone camera? No problem. Brando has released a telescopic add-on for the iPhone for $20. It takes pictures like this.
Verdict: Pretty neat. Would love to get my hands on one. It's only $20. Come onnnn!
iPhone Stylus
You can thank the Japanese for creating this stylus for iPhone users who have trouble controlling the touchscreen or just have really long finger nails. The stylus has a flexible tip that mimics a finger's ability to control objects on the screen. Also included is a Sim Eject Tool. ThinkGeek offers both silver and black styli for $14.99, imported from Japan.
Verdict: Great little tool for a good price. However, I don't have any problem with the touch screen. If you do, you definitely need to pick one up!
