1. Do you prefer to type on tactile keys? Add a slide-out keyboard for your Samsung Galaxy or iPhone.

2. Want to use your hand for other things? Try a kickstand for your iPhone 5 or Galaxy so you can Skype and watch videos hands-free.

case3. Got stuff to hide? Secret compartments in your iPhone case make it easy for you to leave your wallet at home … or turn your case into a wallet with these Galaxy S5 options.

4. Tired of your battery running low? Extend its life with battery cases for iPhone 5 and Galaxy, BlackBerry and Windows Phone.

5. Want to loosen a screw or shave some bark off a branch? Add a toolbox to your iPhone.
