We use our phones for nearly everything, which is why accessories can be incredibly important.

They can protect our phones from getting scratched after a tough fall, but they can also help you get more out of your device.

From portable chargers to clip-on camera lenses, here’s a look at some of the best iPhone 6 accessories worth checking out so far in 2015.

Olloclip’s 4-in-1 lens for the iPhone 6/6 Plus lets you shoot wide angle and macro shots with your iPhone.

There are quite a few camera accessories for the iPhone out there, but Olloclip’s are among the best. The company’s newest lens is made to fit the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and allows you to take macro, wide angle, and fisheye shots. The pack comes with three colored plastic clips and a lanyard so that you don’t lose the tiny lens attachments. The lenses work with both the front and rear cameras on your iPhone.

Apple’s two-meter long Lightning cable is a life saver if you use your iPhone before bed.

If you’re like me, you glance at your Twitter feed or catch up on some TV with Netflix before falling sleep. Apple’s two-meter long Lightning cable can make this much easier you find yourself struggling with a charging cable that’s too short to reach from under your nightstand up to your bed.

There’s also a 10 ft. certified cable available here for $18.99.

The mPact Extreme Glass Screen Protector will make sure your iPhone 6 doesn’t get scratched up.

If you need a heavy-duty screen protector, check out this glass one for the iPhone 6 Plus. ZDNet gave it a positive review, saying that it was easy to install and didn’t leave any awkward bubbles over the display like screen protectors sometimes do. The glass cover protects most of your phone, but leaves some room around the edges so that you can easily put a case on it.

Apple’s leather iPhone 6/6 Plus case is one of the best you can buy.

It may be a little expensive, but if you want a slim fit iPhone 6 case that adds virtually no bulk to your iPhone, Apple’s leather case is perfect for you.

Lewpo’s Pie iPhone 6 charger transforms from a regular case into a battery pack.

The great thing about Lewpo’s battery case is that it only functions as a battery case when you need it to.

Then, simply place the battery pack on the magnetic strip on the back of the case and plug in the small Lightning cable to charge it. The company claims this pack can double your iPhone’s battery life.
