图为Belkin国际公司为iPhone注入的运动元素!目前,iPhone拥有100多万用户,各式各样的配件装饰也层出不穷,这些配件能让你的iPhone与众不同,更重要的是安全使用方便。
iPhone用户应该都明白想要直接让这款圆头圆脑的小家伙变得很炫是一件很困难的事,但是添加一定的费用在配饰方面下下功夫还是未尝不可的。
内含iPod音效手机--iPhone,她的触摸屏实在让人难以恭维,手指触碰或者撞击都有带来一定的操作紊乱……
If you're among the million people who've snatched up the combo
iPod-cell phone, the answer is probably yes. The touch screen is
used for everything, and all that finger tapping and swiping can
make for a bit of an oily mess at the end of the day. It's hard to
be hip with a messy status symbol.
But fear not, those few extra bucks will help keep your iPhone
looking like new. And early adopters can use the $100 credit they
got from Apple as an apology after it cut the price of the 8
gigabyte model to $399 from $599.
The good news: The best set of accessories (for cleanliness and
protection) will only set you back about $45.
First pick up Belkin's $13 ClearScreen Overlay - as the name
implies, it protects the phone's screen from the daily damage
brought on by hours of surfing the Web, talking and texting. It may
be worth picking up a few in case of scratches on the overlay that
are inevitable over time.
An iPhone case or cover would provide even more protection - and
run the risk of wrecking its appearance or making it harder to
slide out of a pocket.
Incase Designs' Molded Rubber Case ($30) is a thin but protective
skin with a hip pattern. Cutouts in the case also make it easy to
access to the camera, touch screen, speakerphone, microphone and
dock connector.
Or for an earthy design take a look at Incase's Canvas Fitted
Sleeve ($35) that wraps the iPhone in olive canvas. The sleeves
also come in pink, black and tan leather for a more sleek and
sophisticated look.
IPhone-toting gym-goers have other options. Belkin's Sport Armband
($30) or Incase's Neoprene Sports Case ($35) help keep iPhones dry.
Both sport washable and adjustable armbands. The Incase setup is a
bit more bulky - with extra material and clips to remove the case
from the armband - but does have a cutout for the camera, just in
case you stumble upon an interesting sight along your run.
Other accessories do more than protect the iPhone.
While Apple includes a special set of earbuds with the iPhone with
a built-in microphone, those looking to use higher-end headphones
can do so with Belkin's Headphone Adapter to connect through the
iPhone's input jack. For $11, the adapter, which is a bit on the
large side, allows you to plug in any set of stereo headphones.
But it doesn't allow for microphone input through your regular
headphones. V-Moda's Vibe Duo Earbuds ($100) can fix that, with
high-end stereo headphones and built-in microphone and controls for
your music.
If you're looking to add a Bluetooth headset to your iPhone, any
model should be compatible with the iPhone, but Aliph's Jawbone
headset ($120) takes the cake.
Its sleek design matches the iPhone and the sound quality is great.
It has military-grade technology that filters out even the loudest
background noise. The black, red or silver headset is also
comfortable.
Apple's own Bluetooth headset ($130) is a bit sleeker. It does
complement the iPhone nicely, but in certain situations it doesn't
provide the sound quality that the Jawbone does. The Apple headset
does include a dock to charge both the iPhone and the headset, as
well as a travel cable that recharges both.
The Jawbone headset boasts up to 6 hours of talk time and up to 120
hours of standby time, where Apple's unit has up to 5 1/2 hours of
talk time and up to 72 hours of standby time.
There are hundreds of accessories for the iPhone, and every user
has his her own taste and style to spice up the smart phone. A word
of advice: to keep your device sleek and portable, and to save
money, keep the accessorizing simple.
