1. Another charging cable

   

2. An iPhone 5 Case

  The iPhone 5 is a really slick looking device, so it can be a tough decision when you are choosing whether or not to get a case. But the iPhone 5 is also a little fragile and prone to scratching, so inevitably you will want to get a case to protect your investment. There are tons of cases available, but some of them are pretty unique, like the Doctor Who one above. You can see a huge collection of cases here that offer the ideal level of protection at an affordable price.  

3. Bluetooth Headphones

  The earbuds that come with the iPhone 5 are actually pretty good, and most people will never have a reason to use anything but them. But some people don’t like headphones that have a cord, especially when they are exercising or doing something where that cord can get in the way. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the Bluetooth feature of the iPhone 5 and get a pair of wireless headphones that sync with your iphone through the Bluetooth protocol. It’s very easy to setup, and the sound quality is pretty good. Check out a pair of good Bluetooth headphones here.  

4. Lightning to HDMI Cable

  The charging port on the iPhone 5 is called a Lightning port, and requires a specific type of cable if you want to connect the iPhone 5 to anything. This is pretty versatile, however, and there are a couple of different types of Lightning cables that exist. So, for example, if you want to connect your iPhone 5 to a TV so that you can watch a movie that is on your iPhone on your TV, then you can get this Lightning to HDMI cable. There are other options for watching your iPhone content on a TV, however, including the one below.  

5. Apple TV

  While this isn’t specifically an iPhone 5 accessory, it is something that compliments the iPhone 5 very well. You can watch content from Netflix, Hulu Plus and HBO Go on the Apple TV directly, plus you can take advantage of a cool feature called AirPlay for some other options. AirPlay allows you to mirror your iPhone 5 screen on your TV, plus it allows you to send content from apps to the TV screen, such as pictures or videos that you have recorded with your device.
