The success of the iPhone 4S bodes well for the producers of smart phone accessories. The iPhone has sold in staggeringly high volumes since its release in October, sending electronics retailers scrambling to stock their stores with attractive and novel accessories. If you’re participating in the upcoming holiday season, smartphone accessories could make a thoughtful and interesting gift for someone close to you (or to yourself, if you’re feeling greedy). People will be likely react to a new iPhone case or a set of speakers much better than if you gave them a gift card to an electronics store. If you have the iPhone 4S or if you’re planning on purchasing a gift for someone who owns one, I highly recommend any of these six accessories to enhance the experience.
iControlpad
The iControlpad is for the smartphone gamer. You know the type, the person too busy to answer your texts because they’re stuck on a particularly sticky level in Angry Birds. The iControl basically works as a game controller extension for your iPhone, turning it into a mobile gaming system on par with a Nintendo DS or PSP. With the iControlpad, the user can play a host of emulated games as well as several popular games found in the App store.

“Juice Jack Plus” Battery Case
For all its notable strengths, the iPhone 4S has one nagging flaw: poor battery life. In fact, the lackluster battery life has been making headlines recently with many customers citing it as their main complaint with the iPhone 4S. Fortunately there’s the Juice Jack Plus battery case, which is designed to double the battery life of the iPhone 4 and 4S models. The case may be a little pricey for some people ($99), but the money is well worth not having to recharge your phone every few hours.
