If you're getting someone an iPhone for the holidays—or if you got one for yourself—the next step is to accessorize. Accessories make great companion gifts that are not only thoughtful, but are super useful to boot. Here are a few handy accessories to make that new iPhone even more awesome. In fact, they're so handy that they'll fit perfectly inside that stocking hanging from your fireplace mantle.
Protective case
Apple's designers surely didn't mean for the iPhone's sleek design to be covered up, but failing to give it a protective case leaves the device vulnerable to smudges and scratches—or, worse, shattered glass and bent metal. A case is an excellent companion gift to the iPhone.
Whichever type of case you choose, make sure it doesn't block the iPhone 5/5s and iPhone 5c's bottom-mounted speaker, headphone jack, microphone, and dock-connector port; top-mounted microphone; the camera lens and flash on the back; and the camera lens, light sensor, and proximity sensor on the front—unless, of course, the case is designed so that you remove your iPhone to use it.
Pad and Quill's Little Pocket Book is a great case (and an adorable gift).
