Voila, your selfies have now been transformed from pixels to particles.

Daptr
Let’s face it. Apple’s AirPods aren’t for everybody. Sure, there are plenty of people who would see its removal as a progressive change. But if you don’t belong to that category, there’s no need to worry, because Daptr has got you covered. Their new phone case incorporates dual lightning ports, and get this, a familiar 3.5mm jack that is just perfect for standard wired headphones. Plus, this beauty is super sleek too, with slender metal bumpers that camouflage themselves beautifully on your iPhone’s body.
The Daptr will be released in December. Visit daptr.com.
Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge
Ah, yet another product that takes advantage of Apple’s decision to remove the headphone jack. Introducing Belkin’s Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar, a multi-adapter that pretty much solves the most annoying thing of the iPhone 7 – not being able to listen to music and charge your phone at the same time. This device divides a single lightning port into two separate ports, so you’ll never have a flat battery while listening to Spotify ever again! Just think of it as a really elaborate stereo splitter.
The Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge is retailing at USD$39.90. Visit www.belkin.com.
iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case
It goes without saying that battery life is extremely important. Considering that now a smartphone is pretty much like an extra limb to most people, it’s hard to think otherwise. If you find yourself needing to chargine up your battery more often than you’d like to, it’s worthwhile checking out the iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case. After all, this gadget has one purpose, and one purpose only, and that’s to provide you with an additional 26 hours of talk time or 22 hours of internet use (according to Apple estimates).

Mujjo Cases
Okay, so unlike the other products in this list, Mujjo cases don’t have super cool technological features. Frankly though, they don’t need to. Combining both extreme style and solid substance, Mujjo cases are the ultimate leather wallet cases for the iPhone. Made from full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, these snazzy cases also come with stylish little slits for you to insert your credit cards inside. Not only that, each casing comes with moulded edge technology, so your phone’s weakest points are strengthened and protected from friction caused by rough materials.
