After much trial and error I think I have found all the essential iPhone hardware accessories to fully optimize your iPhone experience. Hope you find the information helpful.

1. AUXILIARY CORD: a must have for any iPhone user.  Having a auxiliary cord will allow you to hook your iPhone to you car, stereo, or other external speaker device.  I hook mine to my car and use it as a speaker phone…works great!

   

2. Head Phone Extender/MIC: this handy tool I found on eBay for $10.  Place this device in your iPhone and you will be able to toss the horrible Apple headphones out the window.  With the built in mic and push-button you will be able to skip songs, pause music, and answer calls all without getting your phone out of your pocket.  I have a secret service style ear tube that I connect to it when I ride my bike; pretty slick.  I can also attach the Bose headphones when I want to hear some good quailty sound and still retain my ability to take calls. 

   

3. A Hard Case: I have tried many cases and finally came to the DLP hard plastic case. I picked mine up at BestBuy but you can also get them here. It is a really nice hard case that comes with lots of plastic sticky grips on the back of the case to help prevent sliding.  The case also comes with a screen protector and even protects the ear piece and home button.  I have dropped the phone several times and it withstands the trauma like a champ.  The only issue with the case is the sleep/wake button is so well protected that is a bit hard to push but all in all this is the best case I have had.   

   

I am sure there are other accessories out there but these three simple items have made owning an iPhone that much better!
