10. iPhone Car Charger $12.95 - This charger is a no frills, 5-star rated item with a Lifetime Warranty. A must-have for every iPhone owner since battery life is limited. It goes from 0% to 55% charged in just a few minutes. Compatible with first-gen iPhone and iPhone 3G.

Thanks a lot for this selection, I like such stuff very much. I personally wouldn`t mind if someone presented me some useful accessory as that juice pack or double charger. And most of all I like that Appstand Picture Frame, looks great though not really useful:)

Well, I guess Crystallized Swarvoski iPhone Case would be a good choice for the gift if you have great budget.

The iPhone rocks. Some of my friends just say they hate it without giving any reason, I think they say they hate it because they can't afford one.
