It sucks laying out more money for iPhone accessories. When is enough enough? All of that money adds up. So how do you make a super cheap case and save some dough? Well, Oliver Nelson has used a rubber wristband to act as a bumper on his phone.

They are apparently an almost perfect fit when stretched around the 4′s antennae. A 1.125-inch long by 0.125-inch wide incision (into the unstretched band) is necessary to keep the 30-pin port and speakers open, but otherwise it’s pretty easy and dirt cheap too.

You could go for a plain jane iPhone case or you could opt for Magellan’s waterproof Toughcase, priced at $199.99. Two hundred bucks gets you IPX-7 waterproof standards, allowing it to be submerged up to one meter for up to 30 minutes, and there’s also an integrated 1,840mAh battery that can “double the life” of your iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS or second / third-generation iPod touch.

There’s also a high sensitivity SiRFstar III GPS chipset for quality GPS reception, and you can still access the touchscreen. You get all of that, but your device loses any sexiness it ever had and there’s no official support for Apple’s newest iPhone.

ZAGG has been making invisibleSHIELD protective films for all manner of gadgets for many years now. I have used the film on all of my iPhones and other stuff and have never had issues with scratches. ZAGG has announced that the new invisibleSHIELD Dry film is now available exclusively through AT&T Stores.

The normal version of the invisibleSHIELD film requires you to spray the surface with a liquid for install. The new Dry version skips that liquid step. The film is available for the iPhone 4 in the dry version.

One of the things about the iPhone is that with its popularity just about everyone has one. It’s hard to be unique when everyone uses the same gear. Coveroo has announced a couple new cases for the iPhone 4.

Among the new cases are ones that are printed with the typical stuff we see like movie characters, team logos, and other designs. The cool case is one that the company will put your own picture or design on.

Feeling nostalgic for the old days, but love your modern iPhone? If you said yes to both, then check this out. This iPhone cassette case is the best of both worlds. The case is functional enough to keep your iPhone free of scratches, while looking like an old mix tape.

The best part is that you can actually listen to music from your iPhone when in the case. So in a way, you really are listening to a cassette. Pretty cool.

When you pay Apple prices for the latest shiny gadget, you are going to want some insurance to protect your investment. MobileProtect is the only company to offer insurance for the iPhone 4 right now, when it comes to cases of loss or theft, water or other liquid damage, accidental damage and out-of-warranty failure.

It’s a great idea. Especially in this economy. It will cost you $11.99 a month for the coverage. It’s probably only necessary for the more accident prone among us.

Mophie’s juice pack air external case added some battery life to the iPhone, but it also makes your iPhone chubby. Now Mophie is introducing a line of external juice packs that pop into your device using a retractable dock connector.

The smallest will be the $40 1,000mAh juice pack reserve, then the $60 1,500mAh boost. Both are compatible with the iPod and iPhone and also offer “super-bright” LED flashlights. Lastly there’s the juice pack power station, which hasn’t been given a price or mAh rating, but will be compatible with the iPad.

I have talked before about the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD protective films. I have used these films on all of my iPhones since the device launched and it does a great job of protecting the screen and body of the phone without having to worry about scratches.

The only downside to the film is that the extra grip it gives the body of the iPhone makes it hard to use the device in a case that fits snugly. ZAGG has announced that it has the film available for the iPhone 4.

That’s right, we have more cases for the iPhone 4. Case-Mate is next in line to launch their iPhone 4 Cases. These are definitely eye-popping cases. They make cases for the iPhone 3Gs and BlackBerry and now they will be available for the iPhone 4 with the iPhone 4 Artist Series Original Cases.

You can design your own custom iPhone 4 case with art from several world-renowned artists. The cases will be available soon to customize any way you want for $39.99.

The design on the new iPhone 4 is beautiful, but maybe you want something more natural looking. If so then check out these new bamboo cases for the iPhone 4 from Grove Made. This case is available in a plain version, or in some versions with laser engraving.

They won’t cost you an arm and a leg either as they can be had for just $49 for the plain version and $69 for the engraved version.

Scosche makes a ton of accessories for the iPhone and iPods from Apple. The company has announced its new line of cases for the iPhone 4 that was launched early this week. Scosche will be offering eight cases and three screen protectors for the phone.

The cases include the kickback g4 with a polycarbonate shell and a kickstand. The switchKASE g4 is silicone with a stand; the metalliKASE g4 is a polycarbonate case in chrome with a mirror screen protector.

Belkin is one of the first companies out of the gate with new iPhone 4 cases. The new line-up includes the Verve Cinema for iPhone 4 which is a smart case that doubles as a kickstand when you use the foldout kickstand. That’s handy for watching movies on the iPhone 4’s new higher resolution Retina display.

The Verve CInema retails for $29.99. Belkin has also released three new arm band cases for the iPhone 4G. Those are the ProFit ($39.99), OneFit ($29.99), FastFit ($29.99) and DualFit ($24.99) are great for jogging and exercising.

Dropped calls? This iPhone case has dropped balls. Normally a case will protect your phone, but I’m not so sure this one will. After all, haven’t countless videos shown us that balls are like magnets when it comes to being kicked and punched in them?

Seems like it would draw some sort of vicious ball attack. They come in blue and peach and will cost you $15. Not sure why you would want that end near your mouth while using your phone, but at least 10% of all proceeds go to testicular cancer research.

Here’s something for the geeky gadget girl who has everything and is now buying it all again, but with gaudy crystals. Distinctive Style has an assortment of iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, iPod Touch and other cases that are covered in Swarovski crystals. Of course many of them are Hello Kitty designs.

The Hello Kitty Core Crystallized Swarovski iPad Case and the Hello Kitty Black Crystallized Swarovski iPad Case will make you stand out and not in a good way. They’ll cost you $601 and $132 respectively.

Hello Kitty fans certainly have their pick of gadgets with the Kitty’s image on them, but these Hello Kitty cases seem to stand out. Fans of the kitty will want to grab these up.

I’m not sure how many lives the kitty has used up thus far, but isn’t time for a new cute kitty? I think so.
