The recent introduction of the iPhone 4S has demonstrated that Apple's dominance in the smartphone market hasn't diminished. In fact, there is more demand now for iPhones and iPhone accessories than at any other time in Apples storied history. Whichever model you manage to get your hands on, there are a few iPhone accessories you should definitely add to get the most out of your new iDevice. Let's talk about a few of them.

At the gym, at home or on the go, there is a wide variety of accessories to enhance your iPhone experience. First, keep in mind that many accessories have cross-compatibility with older iPhones so check with the product manufacturer to see if you can retrofit for an earlier model.

An essential accessory for you iPhone is a charging dock. You need a safe place to leave your phone at home or in the office while it charges. Having an A/C dock means quick charges and safe keeping. Many charging docks also include a speaker system that allow you to play the music from your phone while it is charging. These systems deliver much better sound than the tiny iPhone speakers and give you a inexpensive and compact stereo system right on a desktop. This solution is perfect for bedrooms or dorm rooms or anywhere where space is at a premium.

Of course you can take this philosophy on the road with you. Using a USB charger plugged into the cigarette lighter will keep your phone powered for any long trip and many of these types of chargers also hold the phone securely in place where you can easily navigate through the menu to play music or take calls. If you want to stay powered up long after you reach your destination, you should add a protective iPhone cover that incorporates an additional battery cell. These have gotten smaller and more low profile over the last few years and before long you won't even notice it's there except for the vast increase in batter capacity. Perfect for camping trips or travelling.

Many people can't live without their music collection at their fingertips and for that, the iPhone is the perfect companion. It's great for the gym or a jog around the park but you don't want to risk dropping and damaging your phone. Luckily there are many sport style carriers available that are padded and waterproof to keep your phone safe during your workout. Of course that won't mean anything unless you can get good sound out of the built in iPod, so make sure that you purchase a good set of earbuds or earphones. The iPhone comes with a decent set of earbuds, but to really get the best sound quality possible, you should upgrade to a better pair. Try a few out to find a quality sound and make sure you pick some that fit comfortably in your ears especially if you are going to use them for sports.

Having a few of these iPhone accessories around will make a great product even better and help you get the most enjoyment out of your Apple product.
