Your iPhone needs a fashion identity and that means choosing the right skin. The skin comes in colors, textured look, glam and heavy metal appearances. Skins are for visual appeal because they dont cover enough to be protective of the iPhone.

The skin design allows for access of the navigation buttons, screen and charger connection. If you want variety, buy several skins and change the look of your iPhone to match your mood or your clothing.

You can also add a wild skin for after-work hours. The skin does nothing for the screen, a vital and delicate part of the iPhone. Its worthwhile to get a screen protector to boot. Spend a little more to buy a screen protector that not only resists damaging dust but also provides anti-glare capability for the screen.

For the guys or for girls who dont always want to carry a purse, an iPhone holster is the top choice. The iPhone case or wallet can come along with you by hooking onto your jeans or hanging from a shoulder strap.

A docking station (or maybe two) would be perfect pimping primer - one for home and one for the office so you can quickly recharge your iPhone and be ready to go again. For really fast moving cell phone users, get a sport band to attach your iPhone to your arm while out jogging so you dont lose touch with anyone while getting your daily dose of exercise.
