CasePlug for iPhone 5/5S
The CasePlug is like Prong’s iPhone cases, except it has a built-in USB connector instead of a plug. Aside from letting you charge and sync without a cable, the CasePlug can also be used as a kickstand or to mount your iPhone.
Prong PWR Case for iPhone 5/5S
Prong follows up its Pocket Plug with the PWR Case. Like its predecessor, it has a charger and a retractable plug, but it also has a battery that can fully charge the iPhone 5/5S. It also comes with a microUSB charge and sync cable.
Magnetic Lightning Port Adapter
iPhone Ringtone Remix
Electro beat maker MetroGnome used some of the iPhone’s stock ringtones (with Siri chiming in occasionally) to make this pop dubstep track. Want to make this your ringtone? You can download the track here.
Peek-I
We all think we’re being sly when we snap secret photos with our phones but it’s more than likely others just politely ignore our bad manners. Peek-I is a tiny periscope-like attachment that allows you to take photos at a 90-degree angle.
The MicrobeScope
This gadget works with most smartphones to turn them into a portable microscope, capturing still or video images of tiny organisms or other objects. It provides up to 800x magnification and requires no slides or other supplies.
Nike Waffle iPhone 5 Case
Nike follows in Vans’ footsteps and has released a similar line of iPhone 5 cases. These cases are made from recycled Nike Air shoes and feature one of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman’s first ever outsole designs, the waffle.
Equil JOT for iOS
Equil JOT is an ink pen that can record what you’re writing or drawing on paper in real time. You can then edit, annotate and share your work from your iOS device. However, your device cannot be in sleep mode while you’re recording.
FLIR One Personal Thermal Camera
A thermal camera attachment for the iPhone 5 & 5S. FLIR One uses a two cameras to create a composite image, making it easier to discern objects. Also works as a battery pack for the phone. Available spring 2014 for $349.
Danny P. iPhone 5/5S Wallet Case
Most wallet-style iPhone cases tuck the phone inside. Danny P. takes the opposite approach to maintain the traditional form of a wallet and provide more space for cash and cards. Also comes in pocket book – i.e. vertical – form.
Everything is a Remix: iPhone
Further proof that virtually everything that was ever made that was worth a damn stole and repurposed earlier ideas. Case in point, Apple’s iPhone – which took numerous ideas previously executed and just made them more accessible.
iPhone Anamorphic Adapter Lens
Seeing how costly and out of reach traditional lenses that increase the horizontal field of view of a camera can be, Moondog Labs has designed an affordable anamorphic lens adapter that works specifically for the iPhone 5/5s.
Logitech PowerShell Controller
Logitech’s PowerShell controller has a d-pad, four face buttons and two shoulder buttons. It can also charge your device with its 1500mAh battery. It works with the iPhone 5/5S and 5th gen. iPod Touch. List of compatible games here.
Pad & Quill iPhone Cases
Pad & Quill’s elegant iPhone cases do double duty as wallets, holding your credit cards and ID in one compact package while protecting your precious iGadget. Handmade from stitched leather and wood, and bound like a book.
Adonit Jot Script Stylus
The Jot Script’s tip is just 1.9mm in diameter, so using it is more akin to using a pencil than a stylus. It has an aluminum barrel and lasts up to two weeks on an AAA battery. Works with iPad 3+ and iPhone 5+ (requires Bluetooth 4.0).
iPhone 5C
The iPhone 5C has a glossy polycarbonate case that comes in five colors: green, blue, yellow, pink and white. It has the same specs as the iPhone 5, except it has a slightly larger battery, an improved LTE antenna and Facetime camera.
Vans iPhone 5 & iPod Touch Cases
Vans and Belkin are bringing back the popular Waffle Sole case, this time for the iPhone 5 and the 5th generation iPod Touch. The iPhone 5 case comes in a variety of colors (and should fit the iPhone 5S as well).
IZZI Orbit Case
This aluminum iPhone case has a substantial camera-like grip, while adding a rotating set of lenses for fish eye, wide angle, telephoto and macro shots. Also adds a tripod mount. Choose from silver, red, purple, blue, or black.
Apple iOS 7
Coming this fall, iOS 7 completely overhauls the user interface, opting for a more minimal and layered design. It also – finally! – has a shortcut to oft-toggled settings as well as a better app-switching interface. More at Apple.
BlueLounge iPhone 5 MiniDock
The pocket-size iPhone charge dock gets a Lightning connector, making it the perfect travel accessory for your iPhone 5. Even works with some cases. Available in US, EU and UK versions. We only wish it had a swivel function.
10,000 iPhone Domino Fall
While it’s surely done with CGI animation, we’re still impressed by Aatma Studio’s epic domino display that looks like it was made with 10,000 iPhone 5s. Though it would have been even cooler with $2+ million worth of actual iPhones.
