I am into the rare, neat, uncommon iPhone accessories that everyone does not know about. Thought I would start a thread where people could post ones they have or know about.

I am talking about things that are not in every store.

Things like...

Keychain Lightening adaptor:

I usually get my fix via kickstarter when I want to see stuff like this.
 
What is kickstarter

Crowdfunding - basically people post ideas for businesses/products they want to manufacture and you can "opt in" as a supporter - and generally for each level you're willing to donate you get something back, whether its a company tshirt or the actual product etc.

Check it out at kickstarter.com - there's a lot of crap on there, but you do find some interesting things in the technology space. The current popular trend seems to be affordable 3d printers...

I think you can make that statement for just about every post in this thread at the moment.

I think its kind of cool and my take the plunge on it - tough to pass up on 30 bucks.
 
Has anyone found a top quality car or window mount for when ur using navi? I don't want some universal looking one.
 
I carry one of these little guys in my backpack to work each day or keep one in my car for a "just in case" situation.

...but as I was just browsing Google, I came across this. This might be even better. I don't think I would carry on my keychain thou.

Tim Costello, this is nice, but you should really check the ChargeCard!

I have seen it before. I was just worried that it would not literally fit in my wallet like a real credit card. It looks to be the same size as a credit card, it just looks thicker. Like 3 cards piled up in top of each other. And also was worried that it would break when I sat down.

Anyone with any experience with one?
 
Bought one for my iP5. They will ship next month.
I have the same opinion as you.. Think it'll break when I sit and the wallet is in my back pocket.
