1. Sub-£ 100 Speaker Dock (Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 £ 77)
This venerable speaker dock has been arround for years, but it's still the best we've heard unless you want to spend some serious money. Despite its size, it produces rich, full sound, and it has its own built-in battery so you can enjoy your music in the park. Set it up next to your bed and you'll start each morning with a fully charged iPhone.
2. £ 100 Speaker Dock (Creative ZiiSound D5 £ 255)
Sure, the big, meaty sound that you get out of the ZiiSound D5 is reason enough to buy it but, if we're honest, we're a little bewitched by what it can do and how it looks. (There's a touch-sensitive volume control strip on the top, for example). It comes with a dongle that slots into your iOS device to stream audio wirelessly, too.
3. Sub-£ 50 Headphones (Apple In-Ear Headphones £ 44)
Perhaps suprisingly, given how lacklustre the earbuds that Apple bundles with its devices are, these upgrade headphones sound great for the price. After the leaky, tinny buds you got in the box with your iPhone or iPod touch, these comfortable earphones will come as a bassy, rich revelation. Even the case is brilliantly designed!
4. Sub-£ 50 Headphones (Sennheiser PX 210 BT £ 103)
With the exception of the original iPhone and iPos touch, all iOS devices can stream audio wirelessly over Bluetooth (which is actually great quality these days), and you get a tremendous feeling of liberation when you don't have wires to get tangled in your clothing. These sound terrific, and the battery lasts for hours.
5. Bluetooth Headset (Aliph Jawbone Icon £ 58)
If you think Bluetooth headsets make you look like either a douche or a cabbie, think ag...Well, you might not be entirely they're handy-essential, even when driving-and this one's not only look gorgeous, but has some serious smarts that help isolate your voice from ambient noise, so your caller can hear you.
6. iPad Case (Orbyx Leather Folder case £ 27)
There are cases that offer more protection and features, but as a brilliant basic case with a little flair-essentially, a fancier, leather version of Apple's own, £ 10 cheaper case-we think it's superb. It doesn't add much bulk to the iPad, and a little catch on the back lets you stand it up or lay it flat for typing.
7. iPhone 4 Case (Apple iPhone 4 Bumper £ 25)
You can spend a fiver on a case, or a hundred quid or more, but unless one particularly takes your eye, you'll actually do just as well to get Apple's. You might balk at £ 25 for a little plastic and rubber, but it's actually pretty complex and well-made, and it provides reasonable basic protection. (Stops your iPhone from sliding around, too!)
8. iPhone 3G/3GS Case (Incipio Feather £ 10)
This very slim moulded-plastic sheath doesn't offer much protection if you drop your iPhone, but it protects the back from scratches and, crucially, doesn't make your iPhone all bulky in your pocket. It also comes with a couple of screen protectors-although in our experience, the screen's tough enough.
9. iPad Stand (Twelve South Compass £ 33)
There are lots of great stands for the iPad-Griffin's A-Frame is another terrific one for about the same money-but the compass is our favourite. You can use it to stand your iPad vertically in potrait or landscape mode, or you can drop it down to place it at typing-friendly angle. It also collapses for travelling.
10. Charging (Idapt i4 £ 40)
The idea of the i4 is as simple as it is brilliant. You can slot different tips into its charging points so you can charge different devices with Apple's 30-pin dock connector, mini-and micro-USB port can supply enough power even to charge an iPad
