As an iPhone user I’m always on the look-out for cool new gadgets to use with my phone. Recently I was given a slew of new products to try out. From speakers to chargers to painting tools to keyboards, these are products I think every iPhone owner should add to their collection.
Don’t have an iPhone? No worries; most of these products are compatible with several smartphones and tablets.
1. The Sensu BrushThis fun tool sure brings out my inner artist. The Sensu Brush allows users to have a genuine painting experience on their touchscreen devices. It works on various tablets and smartphones in conjunction with painting apps such as Paper and Auryn Ink. The dual-ended tool allows for use of either the paintbrush side or the rubber stylus for drawing and regular navigational use on a touchscreen device.
I loved how natural the paintbrushes’ flexible bristles felt on the surface of my iPhone. I haven’t found anything else that so closely mimics the feel and look of creating a real painting on my device. I also loved the protective cap that comes with the Sensu Brush that keeps it safe and ensures a long product life.
2. NUU MiniKey
For me, the touchscreen capability is one of the allures of having an iPhone. I love typing right on the screen when I’m texting or browsing the web. So when I first got my hand on this keyboard product, I wasn’t quite sure what to think. Then I actually tried it and completely got it. The tactile aspect of this slide-out keyboard makes it easy to type accurately and since the on-screen keyboard is hidden while you type, you can see the whole screen.
Perhaps the best part about this product is that it prevents those embarrassing auto-correct fails we all experience from time to time. For those who wish for a physical keyboard for their iPhone, this product is a must.
3. ZAGGsparq 6000
If you’re constantly on the go, you’ll love this product. This portable battery makes charging your phone, tablet and other electronic gadgets a breeze. The product holds up to four charges to quickly power your device on the go, no outlet needed. The LED lights on the adapter make it easy to see how much juice is left and the on/off switch makes it easy to conserve power when not in use.
Aside from how easy it is to use, I love that this charger is portable. The built in prongs fold easily to make storage a snap and also eliminate the need to have a separate cable for the battery. This device makes the possibility of running out of battery power one less thing to worry about.
4. iHome Portable Rechargeable Speaker System (Model iD48)
It’s great to have all my music right on my iPhone, but if I want to play it at a social event, I don’t have much of a choice other than to just turn the phone on full volume, which doesn’t produce a loud enough sound anyway. The iHome Speaker System is great for events like that. We used the iHome in our office and knew right away it would be the go-to product for our next office mixer. The speaker produces loud, crisp, quality sound and works with not just your iPhone, but iPads and iPods as well.
The speaker has an internal battery which allows for use without an outlet when charged. Speaking of charging, when the product is plugged in to an AC Power source, it charges whatever device is hooked up to it. So you can multi-task: Be a great DJ and charge your iPhone, iPad or iPod at the same time.
5. SWITCH Wireless Portable Speaker
Another great speaker that multitasks is Native Union’s SWITCH. This portable device works with all Bluetooth enabled devices. It features a high performance bass and sub-woofer and is custom tuned to produce some of the richest quality sound I’ve heard from a portable speaker. It also acts as a portable power bank to charge your device, or as a conference call unit that allows you to answer calls and redial the last number. As a bonus, the sleek, modern design makes it an eye-pleasing display.
