6 8x Telephoto Smartphone Lens - $12.99

There’s no denying that the iPhone’s camera is a pretty remarkable piece of photography equipment. But most if not all smartphone lenses falter in one key area: zoom. This largely because iPhones, obviously, don't have the bulky zoom lenses that a DSLR might. That’s where an external telephoto lens comes in. This affordable option is extremely easy-to-install and lets you capture images up to 8 times closer without any visible distortion. Get it here for $12.99.

5 Three 10-Ft MFi-Certified Lightning Cables - $28.99

If you’re an iPhone owner, you probably already know that you can never have too many Lightning cables. This pack features 3 cables that are 10 feet long, letting you charge your phone with a ton of flexibility. They’re also MFi-certified, so you can rest assured that your Apple devices stay safe while they’re charging. Keep one in your bag, by your bed, in your desk drawer or basically anywhere. Get them here for $28.99.

4 The Cube Bluetooth Speaker - $25.99

Bluetooth speakers are a dime a dozen, so if you’re looking to stand out, you might want to consider The Cube. For one, it's so unique and futuristic that it hardly even looks like a speaker. Yet, it's extremely portable and can also pump out excellent bass and treble for its size. The Cube also features color-changing LED lights to help you set the perfect dance party mood so you can jam out in style. Get it here for $25.99.

3 Mophie Powerstation 8X Battery Pack - $79.95

Your iPhone is only useful if it’s charged (unless you’re using it as a paperweight, of course). Luckily, you can help keep your iPhone juiced up with the Powerstation 8X Battery Pack. It’s a high-performance yet ultra-portable external battery with a massive energy capacity. Its 15W output and dual USB ports even let you power two devices at once, and it’s engineered to deliver a high-speed, optimal charge. Get it here for $79.95.

2 Lightning to Headphone Jack Charging Cable: 3-Pack - $29.99

Love it or hate it, the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus don't have headphone jacks and it’s likely that the next iPhones won’t either. Thankfully, you don’t have to compromise with this 3-pack of 2-in-1 cables. They plug into your phone’s Lightning port and split into two ports themselves — a Lightning port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. So yes, that means you can charge you phone while listening to music via headphones. Get them here for $29.99.

1 BACtrack Mobile Pro Breathalyzer - $79

Though many of us like to enjoy a drink (or a few), it’s always important to make smart choices when imbibing. This portable breathalyzer lets you do just that. It easily connects to your iPhone, so you can get accurate blood alcohol content (BAC) results on the go. You can track your alcohol consumption and share your results via text or social media, and the device can even estimate when your BAC will return to 0.00 percent — letting you plan smart choices in advance. Get it here for $79.
