Accessory specialist Belkin has been quick to hop on the iPhone bandwagon following the handset's arrival late last week and the launch of Apple's own accessory line-up.

Belkin's acrylic iPhone case

Apple's decision to equip the iPhone with a glass-fronted screen may limit the need for the wide array of protective cases that have arrived to aid iPod buyers, but there's still a need for belt-clip and armband cases for the new handset, Belkin reckons, and has launched one of each.

The clear acrylic case has the belt-clip - which can spring out to become a stand to improve video viewing. The 'sport' armband is washable and has a handy pouch for your earphones. Both cases cost $30, as does Belkin's executive-oriented, leather-made Slim-Fit case.

These three are joined by a raft of cables, all with shiny, chrome-finished connectors to match the back of the iPhone. Choose from 3.5mm-to-3.5mm jacks ($20), 3.5mm-to-RCA ($15) and an adaptor with a 3.5mm jack at one end and a 3.5mm socket at the other ($11). We're not sure why you'd need this, but if you do there it is.
