The Best iPhone Accessories You Can Get for Under $80

If you give a mouse an iPhone, he's going to want some accessories to go with it -- and ideally, something a little snazzier than a $35 Apple phone case in that unsettling sea-foam green color. Here are 10 legitimately useful, tried-and-true extras for your iPhone that you can buy for less than 80 bucks. More storage, more battery life, more likes, and more cool points are in your future.

Why you need it: So you never get another "Not Enough Storage" alert again

Why you need it: To keep your mobile and moneymaker germ-free
Studies show that your smartphone screen carries 10x more bacteria than a toilet seat. Just think of what atrocities your face could potentially contract when screening calls on the regular! The PhoneSoap uses two UV-C lamps to destroy gems, while doubling as a charging case to power your iPhone during the sanitizing process. All it takes is five minutes and your phone will be cleaner than when you first unboxed it.

BoxWave's display guard not only flaunts the strongest rating for tempered glass to protect against scratches and shock absorption, but features invisible touch SmartButtons that add "return" and "confirm" options to make operating the device in one hand way easier.

Why you need it: So you never have to deal with a fraying cable again
Some of us can live without certain iPhone accessories. A lightning cable is not one of them. It's a daily necessity that has a reserved spot in our messenger bag or desk. Replace your aging cable with this rugged connector, which charges your iPhone at the fastest possible rate and has a heat-resistant design with 4,000+ bend lifespan. Suffice it to say it's built to last much longer than Apple's shiteous cables.
