What is the best accessory you've purchased for your mac?

It can be anything from an icurve, bt mouse, sleeves, etc.

Mine are:
1. Crumpler backpack
2. radtech screen protector
3. Apple BT mouse
 
The iLap for my PowerBook... how can you possibly lounge without one? :cool:
 
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (The version before they added the sidescroller)
 
Griffin PowerMate. . . i always thought it would be cool, but it was kinda pricey. but once i got one, i love it! its just fun and cool.

wow, the ilap looks awesome.

I was thinking of getting an icurve, but this seems to be a better option.
more functional.
 
1) Crumpler Crippy Duck when I still had a laptop
2) LaCie Big Disk (you can never have too much space, and being able to have a cloned, bootable copy of your internal drive along with everything else is always a HUGE PLUS
3) Carbon Copy Cloner (see #2.)
4) Since software probably doesn't count, my Samsung 172x. I can count it as an accessory since it started as a second monitor for my laptop instead of the only screen for a desktop (which it has become in recent days)

Having seen Crumpler's website, I wouldn't buy a Crumpler bag on principle

Haha. It is pretty bad, isn't it? The bag was a gift to me, and having used it for quite a while I can say with confidence that it would be your loss if you were to dismiss them that easily. :)
 
Quite honestly, the best accessory for my Mini is the Belkin USB hub. I would hate to have to try and plug my iPod Shuffle into the back of the Mini, or attach an extension cable everytime I wanted to use it. The front ports on the hub are a god-send.

My only complaint with it, is it needs more ports. I have filled up all but one of the ports on it.
 
Griffin AirClick USB

This may be my best accessory as I can control iTunes anywhere in the house, and many other functions on my Mac. It was $25.00 and has been the best purchase ever!

Same Here, i love that thing its great!
 
Can I add another? I think my other great accessory is Airport Express. I love it!
 
That's a tough one, but I'd have to say my Bose Noise-Cancelling Headphones.
Allows me to be in my own little world while I'm working on my Powerbook.
