5 iPhone Accessories: iPhone 5 Cable for $3, Up to 90% off iPhone Cases, more

Whether you're cutting the tech edge with the new iPhone 5, happy with your iPhone 4S, or simply content with your iPhone 4, there's no doubt that the right accessories make tech life even better. From adapter cables to cases, we've rounded up the coolest and best-priced iPhone accessories.

1. Lightning to USB 39" Adapter Cable
   Store: LWZTech via Amazon
   Price: $2.55 with free shipping
   Lowest By: $1

   Is It Worth It?: With this Editors' Choice, you get a huge discount on a cable that lists for $19.99. (Apple's version sells for about the same price.) And the price keeps getting cheaper, as the latest update puts it at $2.55, two cents below our original listing for this deal. It's for use with Apple's latest connector found on the iPhone 5, iPad mini, and latest-generation iPod touch and iPod nano. A general note: Cables not manufactured by Apple occasionally have issues, so it's wise to order several and return any that don't work; if they all work fine, you can keep four on hand for half the price that you'd pay for just one Apple cable.

2. Two-tone Soft Knit Sock Pouch for iPhone 5 6-Pack
   Store: eXpansys
   Price: $5.99 with $3.99 s&h
   Lowest By: $18

   Is It Worth It?: The next time some jealous techie tells you to take that iPhone 5 and stuff it in your sock, you can pull out one of these knit pouches and get the last laugh. Combined with shipping, these pouches average $1.67 each, marking the lowest total price we could find for this quantity of such sock pouches by $18. They're tailored for the iPhone 5 and each 6-pack contains a variety of random colors in a two-tone pattern, including Red, Orange, Blue, and Pink. And for heaven's sake, don't put the pouch and phone in the laundry: We all know how easy it is to lose socks that way.

3. Cooler Master Claw Case for Apple iPhone 4 / 4S bundled with a $1 HHI Credit
   Store: HandHeldItems
   Price: $2.99 via coupon code "clawmaster4" with free shipping
   Lowest By: $17
   Coupon Expires: January 15

   Is It Worth It?: Claws and iPhones normally don't make a good match, but in this case, you can get a nifty claw case for the iPhone 4/4S for just $2.99 after you enter the coupon code "clawmaster4", and you'll get a $1 HHI Credit to boot. Tied with our mention from last week, and at the lowest total price we could find, this case features an impact and scratch resistant thermoplastic urethane construction. It also comes in seven colors, including Aqua, Blue, Grey, Green, and Black (pictured).
